We will be giving the book THE GOD DELUSION by Professor Richard Dawkins to our Christian friends and asking them to read it before they kill us all.
Try it. The first chapter is free on-line.

just click on "read the first chapter"
If you refuse to read it you are a bigoted closeminded hypocrite
who is avoiding the real truth.

If there was ever a time that folks really had a good reason to think they were living in those 'end tines' you folks seem to take such perverse (sick and sadistic) pleasure in trumpeting, it was during the Black Death (the plague).
Guess what? The world didn't end.
I know, I know, it's "different" now. I've heard all of it.
I anticipate that your great-grandchildren will be telling everyone THEY know that THEY are living in the "end times" and wondering how you could have been foolish enough to think it was *your* time.
Unless, of course, y'all keep up with the nonsense of not needing to take care of the planet ("Jesus will make it all new and shiny!"), in which case the "end times" will come, not because of some prophesy, but because you contributed to destruction of our green and gorgeous home.
But trust me on this one, we will FIGHT you on that.

Same thing as all the religious people, really doesn't matter what religion and the Bible does teach this. Consider this, in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot and 2 daughters from a whole city as big as Los Angeles area. In the days of Noah, one family husband wife 3 sons and 3 daughter in-laws ; 8 people from the entire earth, but they all still died latter, just not by the flood. Enoch was only one really saved. Now if you are wondering why I say these two examples is Jesus said as it was in days of Sodom and as it was in the days of Noah so shall it be in the coming of the Son of Man!!!! Show me any day a lot of people received the truth. Makes me think how humble a Christian should be if he expects to be Noah or the wife of Noah to be saved. Now going to church won't help you in this day because it didn't help all them millions that died in the flood or lived in Sodom. Oh what was special about Noah ? I have no idea except he walked and talked with God? If any man claimed that God spoke to them today church people would say he is crazy. Think how crazy Noah would have appeared making a boat to ride out the flood and collecting animals

Well, Jesus described the end times....he also said that they would come about before the current generation passed away....hmmm...they passed a long, long time ago. Christians have been stating that the end times are coming for 2000 yrs now. Your "chicken little" routine isn't new, nor is it enough to scare ppl into belief.

We're not in the "end times". Has half of the earth's population suddenly up and vanished? I seem to remember Revelations talking about the faithful being taken directly to heaven.
And the same thing that happens to all people. We die.

We are living in the end times...... people have been saying this for hundreds of years. When will this "end time" come? What's taking it so long? Or maybe, it's not coming? Wake up already!

Prove to me that this is the "end times" first. Well say for a moment this is true, why not? Pyschotic religious fundimentalists who all believe in the apocolypse are trying to kill each other, and we're oblivious to the slow broil of global warming...
How about, we're all going to die, and that's the end of it. Period. Sorry to be a downer, Jesus ain't comin' to save our souls.

According to Jesus, the end times were when the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by Rome in the first century.
