This started out with a talk about Harold Camping, but turned into a much deeper discussion. We talked about beliefs and why we believe. We talked about confirmation bias and how we can be fooled. This started with Camping, but ended in a deeper discussion. Which was good because we were getting tired of Camping.
The Insanity and Harm of Judgement Day Predictions:
(American Standard Version)
Matthew 7:15-20
15Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. 16By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
