        That Ford in the background is ~2004 model, so that sets an earlier bound on the time of photo

          I doubt the red red ink on that sticker would be that bright and colorful, not faded by the sun, after 13 years outside.

        This exact sticker at a different location still exists in my town. I’ll take a photo of it and follow-up some time.

          You know, if I were in the business of making predictions about when Jesus is coming back, I’d want the cheapest stickers I could find. That way, when I’m wrong, at least there won’t be physical evidence hanging around for 30 years.

          Hell, paper and tape would have been the right call.

            How about if you thought of the money scheme predicted it 8 years earlier and wanted the grift stickers to last that long?

              I bet people who think those stickers are worth buying would just buy more when the first ones faded.

    The reason sticker these day doesn’t last and enshitification of everything happened is because Jesus came and took all the good people and left.

      I’ve been playing something up lately. See, I didn’t know of that interview where Donald Trump said he has never asked god for forgiveness. I somehow only seen it recently.

      So, I told some folks that a man came and asked me, “Would you trust a man who said he never once asked god for forgiveness, that he doesn’t think in those terms?” and he wanted me to think on it, and he’d return and tell me why he asked me. I told them it was an odd question, and when he returned to tell me why he asked I’d share it with them.

      They all answered with something along the lines of, “no! Who could live on this world and never ask for forgiveness? Can’t be a good person.”

      Do you think they took off their Trump hats?

      Have you ever sat down and talked to a Trumper about politics? I don’t mean dismissing everything they say and calling them stupid, I mean actually listened and asked them questions? I just did that a couple days ago and it was a real wakeup call for me. Holy fucking shit was that person crazy! It’s not like a couple of differences of opinion. It’s a thousand different topics that they’re completely detached from reality on. Literally every single thing this person said was bat shit crazy, far-right propaganda, engineered to make them impossible to reason with. I ended up just wishing them a nice day and moving on with my life, deciding never to speak to them again. I do not see how we can ever get these people back to normalcy. It’s insane, man… and sad.

        Oh yes. One person started by calling Biden a puppet, which - in a sense of being beholden to corps etc I could kinda see - but then they went off about him being an actual (animatronic, robotic) puppet controlled by Bill Gates and i kinda exited that convo as fast as I could…

          Haha. It’s … Well idk what the fuck it is. These people are beyond help. Are they all trolling? Is 35% of the population of the United States all-in on one big trolling game? It’s so preposterous that I don’t see how they can be serious.

    Just gotta wait 7,976 years for the odometer to roll over. Then another 1,992 for the rapture.

    It’s almost as if they don’t read their own Jesus’ words. Matthew claims he said no man knows the hour or day. I’m not getting into what Isaac Newton thought about it

    Perhaps he really is here. If so, he’d be 32 years old by now. Twas around that age he got axed the last time, allegedly. Thor knows I could go for a good crucifixion right now!

      The Bible says that the second coming will be announced with loud trumpets, and the skies will roll back, and he will descend from heaven. It says that it’ll be unmistakable that he’s returned and every person on earth will know about it. He’s not coming back as a baby.

    You see… the old talking point for the rapture was how the bible says that the last generation will be when the fig tree ripens, or some symbolic shit like that.

    Evangelicals latched on to “the fig tree ripens” to mean Israel becoming a nation, and that was in the late nineteen forties, so give or take a few years, fudge the numbers a little bit, and this decal falls right within that range, most said a Jewish generation means 47 years… no, strike that, it’s 48… no, wait, I meant 49, it was supposed to be 50, so 51 it is… they kept pushing the bar, and here we still are, and so are they.

    I lost track and don’t care what these people blather on about currently, but I suppose the rapture pushers keep on clinging to any fucking sign, no matter how weak and random, and assigning an intricate, deliberate pattern out of it, full of false starts, dead ends and crazy loops, with a strong whiff of q-anon ‘n’ shit.
