Blood Moon

The blood moon effect, or lunar eclipse, is causing a stir in religious circles:http://www.washingtonpost.com/...ee7-02c1e10a03f0_story.htmlI guess the Rapture crowd is now gleefully awaiting the arrival of Super-Jesus, who will finally reward them for their faith as he systematically wipes out anyone else, including those born into the wrong religion.I do give props to this one pastor, who stated the following:

Greg Boyd, a pastor of Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, Minn., called the predictions a waste of time, maybe even bordering on astrology.

​

You have an entire population buying into this stuff so no congregation is immune to this, Boyd said. It can strike fear into people, which is so unnecessary and wrong.

Anyone have any guesses what century it will be before we finally cast off the vestiges of our less enlightened past and admit that celestial events like these are nothing more than a neat light show?

John Hagee was the main pastor referenced in that article regarding the end times coming. For the record, he is either a very skilled scam artist or a complete and utter loon. Or perhaps a bit of both.

That is truly the sad part. In any other profession: engineering, medicine, etc. a track record like that will get you tossed out of your field and maybe even land you in jail. But when it comes to religion, they get a free pass. Yet they still try to find nonsense in perfectly logical phenomenon. Look at astrology. There are still idiots who believe that nonsense despite the fact that we have fully understood the constellations and star movements for a few centuries now!

That is a great picture!Sadly, I couldn't see squat here. Central Florida was overcast during the night.Initially, I could have sworn I saw the outline of an orange-glow as the moon was surfacing. But it turned out it was a reflection of Donald Trump's hair that originated from my Hi-Def TV and manifested on my window.
