The good news is that after the first two secrets fulfill themselves (and before the third secret - the sing) all people will still be able to save themselves from what's coming If they turn towards a good life..after that..well, the mercy train has moved on, sorry

I wonder what the odds are that the first 2 secrets will only be revealed once fulfilled, the 3rd will be something vague like 'the son of man before will scale the great towers', oh and that 'mercy' will require some sort of praying and donation of money.

I am a non-believer in any religion but if i was forced to choose one, I'd go with the noodle freak pasta-wotsits,  It seems like a lot less hassle.

Actually, God is very simple. You're missing my point by lightyears. You're talking about some kind of pseudo-theological understanding of God.

No I'm not. I'm talking about a scientific explaination of God. I'm not saying that you have to explain why God did anything. I'm saying that you have to explain how God exists in the first place.

Otherwise there's an even simpler explaination than that God did it. Why do things fall downwards? They just do. Why is water wet? It just is.

Things get very simple if you cop out and take an easy route. Occam's razor can't be defeated by the explaination that God did it because first you need to prove that God exists. The only time you're going to make Occam's razor work in favour of God is when you end up with a problem which is so complex that it is actually easier God do it than to have a scientifc explaination. Despite what IDers claim no one has ever spotted a question that hard yet.

Who owns the copyrights to the bible anyway?

[karajorma]

No one. Even if someone did it's too old to actually retain it anyway

According to them, all secrets will be revealed 3 days before they happen. And the third secret is a "unmistakable sign of Gods presence".
And there will be no money or donations or anything like that. They said that prayers from people all around the world mildened the bad things to come, but no ammount of praying or anything else can milden them any more.
