Dude... you're not helping your cause.

Sometimes fundamentalist Christians say the dumbest things. Sometimes they don't. And sometimes they hold up signs saying the dumbest things:

I know this guy is trying to make Satan look bad, but he's doing a horrible job at it.

With the exception of witchcraft, which is just another religious belief that can be as irrational as fundamentalist Christianity, none of those things are bad to learn about and should be taught to all children, with the exception of sexuality which should probably be taught to a teenager rather than a child as a child would probably be to young to understand and might even get a bit freaked out by some of the thing you're talking about.

There is nothing wrong with teaching a kid about evolution either as evolution is science and all children should learn about science of all types, even ones that certain highly religious do not believe in.

As for psychology I can't imagine why even fundamentalist Christian would want a child to not learn about how the mind works, unless they are a fundamentalist Christian that thinks that all psychological issues are the result of demonic possession.

Regardless, this guy is not helping his cause. He's hurting it... badly.

10 People who predicted the end of the World... More than once.

With the recent Blood Moon there are several people going around that are "predicting" that the end of the world is near... again. Most notable of those predicting the end of the world is Pastor John Hagee.

This whole "end of the world" thing has once again got me thinking about all of the people who have made doomsday predictions, and more than once.

I decide to look around Wikipedia and have found quite a number of people who have made multiple doomsday predictions that didn't happen.

So here are ten people that made multiple end of the world predictions:

Harold Camping

If I'm going to start this list I might as well start it off with him.

Harold Camping, the now infamous evangelical preacher and founder of the Christian radio station Family Radio, used some mathematical equations, along with some calender dates and dates in the Bible, to predict when the Rapture was going to occur, and the eventual end of the world itself.

Most of you are probably thinking I'm referring to his failed 2011 end of the world predictions, which I am. I'm also referring to his failed end of the world prediction for 1995, and his three failed end of the world predictions in 1994.

One would think that someone whom had failed to predict the end of the world four times before that no one would listen to this guy's last end of the world prediction. But alas, not only did people listen, but they also spent millions of dollars on an advertisement campaign that basically told people they were about to die.

Pat Robertson

I'm sure most people in America know who Pat Robertson is. He's the host of The 700 Club, as well as the founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network and Regent University, and is considered to be one of the most famous televangelists in the United States, if not the world.

He's also made a failed prediction about the end of the world... twice.

His first failed prediction was that the "Day of Judgement" would happen sometime in late 1982. He didn't give a specific day when it would happen, only that it was going to happen sometime around then.

For his second failed prediction he did give a specific date of when it the end of the world might happen, that date being April 29, 2007. Ofcourse for this prediction he didn't actually say that the end of the world would happen on that, only that it might happen.

Warren Jeffs

Leader of the notorious polygamist cult the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and convicted child molester, Warren Jeffs predicted, twice while in prison, that the world would end.

His first prediction for doomsday was for December 23, 2012. When that failed to occur he blamed his followers for that failure due to a "lack of faith" (because apparently you have to have a lot of faith inorder to make the apocalypse happen) and then moved his prediction to New Years Eve of that year.

I guess his followers still lacked enough faith to bring about the end of the world. Or maybe he just got the date wrong again?

Or maybe he's a obscene liar as well as a pedophile.

Herbert W. Armstrong

Herbert Armstrong was the founder of the Worldwide Church of God and Ambassador College. Throughout his lifetime he and and his advisers met with numerous leaders in various governments throughout the world, for which he described himself as an "ambassador without portfolio for world peace."

He also made four end of the world predictions, all of which clearly failed.

His first end of the world prediction was that the Rapture was suppose to occur in 1936, and that only followers of his church were going to be saved.

When that failed he revised he prediction that the end would happen sometime in 1943, and when that failed he revised it again for 1972, and when that failed he revised it again and said that the world would end in 1975.

Considering that fact that he failed to predict the end of the world four times, why anyone, more or less heads of state, would ever listen to this guy is beyond me.

Ronald Weinland

Founder of the Church of God, Preparing for the Kingdom of God (damn that's a long name) a splinter sect of the Worldwide Church of God (what a surprise), and convicted tax evader Ronald Weinland predicted that Jesus Christ would come back and that the world would end on September 29, 2011... and May 27, 2012... and May 19, 2013.

You're not reading that wrong. Ronald Weinland, three years in a row predicted that the world would end, and each and every time he did... nothing happen.

No word yet from him on whether or not the world is suppose to end this year.

Yisrayl Hawkins

Born Bill Hawkins, founder of House of Yahweh, former member of the Worldwide Church of God (go figure) and convicted child molester Yisrayl Hawkins has made, much like his fellow former Worldwide Church of God member and convicted felon Ronald Weinland, several failed end of the world predictions.

The first end of the world prediction (which he made in 1999) was that the world was suppose to end sometime in the middle of 2002 via nuclear war.

When that failed he then "predicted" that the world would end on September 12, 2006 by nuclear war, then June 12, 2007 by nuclear war, and finally June 12, 2008 by nuclear war.

This pattern of failed predictions tells me two things about him: He's obsessed with nuclear war, and he's bad at making predictions.

Nazim Al-Haqqani

Turkish Cypriot Sufi Sheikh and leader of the Naqshbandi-Haqqani Order, Nazim Al-Haqqani, also known as Shaykh Nazim, is a well respected promoter of Sufi Islam, as well as a promoter of tolerance and peace.

He's also made multiple doomsday predictions.

His first failed prediction was that in 1980 Mahdi would appear and rid the world of evil. When that failed he predicted it would happen in 1988, which obviously also failed.

Finally he predicted that just before the year 2000 came around that the "Last Judgement" would occur and then, the end.

He might be a good guy, but he's bad at predicting when the world is suppose to end.

Charles Taze Russell

As known as Pastor Russell, Charles Russell is the founder of the Bible Student movement, which would later become those annoying door knocking on a Saturday Morning when you're trying to sleep in and refusing life saving blood transfusions people, the Jehovah's Witnesses.

Much like any other typical cult leader... I mean high profile religious leader, Charles Russell made a couple of end of the world predictions.

His first prediction was that Jesus would return in 1874, which according to Charles actually did happen, only that Jesus was invisible. He then predict that the world would end sometime in October 1914 (and before you say he probably thought the world was going to end due to the fact that World War I was going on, I should let you know that he made this prediction in 1892).

His second fail doomsday prediction was also his last, as he died in 1916, and couldn't continue making any more bogus predictions.

Despite of his death however the Jehovah's Witnesses decided to continue the tradition he start and made several more failed doomsday predictions (1918, 1920, 1941, and 1975).

Leland Jensen

Leland Jensen was the founder of Baha'is Under the Provisions of the Covenant, and also held a "doctorate" in natural medicine and chiropractics (I.E. fake medicine).

It's not that surprising to me that someone with that type of "education" would make a couple of end of the world predictions, which he did.

His first prediction was that the world would experience a nuclear holocaust, starting on April 29, 1980.

When that failed he then predicted that the world would be hit by Halley's Comet on April 29, 1987, after it was pulled into Earth's orbit on April 29, 1986.

Is it just me, or did he seem to be a little obsessed with April 29?

Edgar C. Whisenant

Sometimes smart people can believe in really strange things. Edgar C. Whisenant is a prime example of that.

Whisenant was a NASA engineer as well as a Bible student, which on it's surface doesn't sound that bad, but underneath apparently the combination creates a person that constantly believe that the Rapture is going to happen.

Whisenant made numerous end of the world predictions, the first one being sometime around September 11 to September 13, 1988, then October 3, 1988, then September 30, 1989, then 1993, then 1994, and so on and so on.

He made so many doomsday predictions that people stopped counting them and started to ignore him.

Ten bizarre conspiracy theories

There are a lot of conspiracy theories out there, and while most of them are pretty strange, some are truly bizarre, even to the point where a person who believes in the conspiracy theory is suspected of being mentally ill, and that the conspiracy theory itself is believed to be a hoax.

While there is no universal consensus amongst skeptics about which conspiracy theories really are the most bizarre conspiracy theories, here are what may be the ten most bizarre conspiracy theories:

10. The government can read you thoughts and control your mind

For decades now some conspiracy theorists have been claiming that the government can not only control your mind, but can read your thoughts as well, either through electronic and other electrical devices, or even through radio waves, and even light itself.

One of the most common claims by people who believe this is that tin foil hats can combat this.

This type of conspiracy theory is most often believed in by people with untreated schizophrenia, although sometimes it's just people who are very paranoid.

9. The Moon is a hologram

People who claim to believe in this claim that Moon is a hologram, either created by aliens, or the government.

Besides the fact that this conspiracy theories ignores everything we know about gravity and tidal effects (and a whole bunch of other sciences) there is speculation that the whole conspiracy theory itself is nothing more then a hoax.

8. We live in the Matrix

If you've ever seen the Matrix then you probably know what I'm talking about. This theory states that we really live in a simulated reality, and that everything we see, including ourselves, are nothing more then computer generated images.

The problem with this is that there is no proof of this what so ever.

7. No planes hit the World Trade Center towers

Literary considered the fringe section of the 9/11 Truth movement, people who proclaim these theories claim that the WTC towers were not hit by planes, and that what we saw on TV were either holograms or computer generated images, and that the towers were hit by a missile, or destroyed by lasers from space.

This conspiracy theory is considered so insane that other people in the 9/11 Truth movement have debunked this.

6. Shape-shifting aliens control the Earth

This conspiracy theory, which is primarily promoted by David Icke, states that the world is controlled by evil shape-shifting reptilian aliens from either another planet or dimension.

People who believe in this conspiracy theory tend to accuse just about everyone with just a little bit of power of really being an alien, this includes David Icke.

Many skeptics and critics of this conspiracy theory have accused Icke of being anti-Semitic, and that "shape-shifting reptilian" is a code word for "Jews".

5. The Philadelphia Experiment

The conspiracy theory claims that during World War 2 the United States conducted an experiment using the USS Eldridge to try to render the ship invisible, but instead either sent the ship backwards or forward in time, or to another dimension.

There are many claims that when the ship returned crew members were found to be embedded in the ship itself, or later developed mental problems, or just disappeared, sometimes weeks or even months after the experiment occurred, sometimes even in public places with many people around.

The problem with this is that there is no documentation of any such experiment ever occurring, or claims made by other people who said to see crew members disappear out of thin air in these public places. Plus crew members have stated that the ship never left port when this experiment was suppose to be occurring. Because of this many skeptics consider this conspiracy theory to be a hoax.

4. Obama is Osama

While there are a lot of conspiracy theories leveled against Barrack Obama, one of the most bizarre is that President Obama is actually Osama bin Laden.

Other then the fact that Obama and Osama are similar sounding names, the two are not the same person. They don't even look alike.

The conspiracy theory itself appears to be nothing more then an example Obama Derangement Syndrome, in which some people will believe anything negative about President Obama without question.

3. Flat Earth

People who believe that the Earth is flat also usually believe the there is conspiracy by government of the world (or the Illuminate, or aliens) to suppress this information, and create fake photos of the Earth from outer space as proof that the Earth is round.

While the concept of flat Earth is a more modern concept (contrary to popular belief) and has to ignore everything we know about the Earth, the people who do believe this claim the "truth" about about the Earth is being suppressed in order to subvert the Bible (even though the Bible itself says the Earth is round).

2. Project Blue Beam

In this conspiracy theory it's basically claimed that NASA and the Illuminate will use advance technology to simulate an alien invasion, the Rapture, and the Second Coming of Jesus, and that the world will be ruled by the Anti-Christ through a New Age religion, and that Islam and Christianity will destroyed within a day's time.

As I'm sure most of you can tell this is a pretty bizarre conspiracy theory. There have also been many predictions of when this is suppose to happen. All of those predictions have failed.

1. Montauk Project

This conspiracy theory claims that scientists at Montauk Air Force Base created an interdimensional portal, and also worked with aliens and Nikola Tesla. It's claimed that these things happened in the 1960's to the 1980's, years after Tesla actually died. There are also claims that there were experiments in time travel, psychic abilities, and that the alleged "Men in Black" corps was created there.

These aren't even some of the more bizarre claims, and it's even been accused of being a hoax created by Jacques Vallée and Preston Nichols as a means to sell books about this conspiracy, being that they are the only two people who claim to have knowledge of this place. Still, it is considered by many skeptics to be the most bizarre conspiracy theory out there.

Twelve Failed Doomsday Prophecies for the 21st Century

Many people believe that the world is going to end on December 21, 2012. The reason for this is because the Mayan Long Court Calendar is suppose to end on this date (even though the actual date itself is often debated, and has been said to have already occurred in the first place) and that the end of the world would end on that date (despite the fact that Mayan scholars have never found any predictions of doomsday in classic Mayan accounts).

This isn't the only prediction of the end of the world for the 21st century. In fact, there have been multiple end of the world predictions for the 21st century. All of these predictions so far have failed, and should make a person reconsider whether the 12/21/2012 doomsday prediction, or any other doomsday prediction, is legit.

So here now are twelve of the more famous failed doomsday predictions for the 21st century:

2000

Various people, from Sir Issac Newton, to Ed Dobson, predicted that the world would end, or begin to end, sometime in the year 2000, usually by the second coming of Jesus Christ.

1/1/2000

There were multiple doomsday predictions for this day. Everything from a computer glitch causing a world wide shutdown of major computer systems, to the Rapture, were predicted to occur on this day,

4/6/2000

James Harmston, the leader of the Mormon Fundamentalist group, The True and Living Church of Jesus Christ of Saints of the Last Days, predicted that the second coming of Jesus would occur on this day.

5/5/2000

A group called the Nuwaubian Nation (which is considered a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center) claimed that on this date that a planetary lineup would cause the planets to be pulled into the sun.

10/9/2000

Grant Jeffrey, a Canadian Bible teacher, suggested that this date would be the probable termination point for the 'last days'.

2001

Tynetta Muhammad, a columnist for the Nation of Islam, predicted that the world would end sometime in this year.

5/2003

Nancy Lieder, a woman who claims to receive messages from aliens via a implant in her brain, claimed that the planet Nibiru would enter our solar system sometime in the month of May 2003, and would cause a pole shift that would end most of human life.

11/29/2003

The Japanese cult and terrorist group Aum Shinrikyo had issued a prediction that the world would end on this date as the result of a nuclear war that was suppose to begin on October 30, 2003.

4/29/2007

Televangelist Pat Robertson had predicted in his 1990 book "The New Millennium" that the world would end on this date.

2010

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a magical order group that existed in Great Britain during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, had predicted that the world would end sometime in the year 2010.

10/21/2011

Christian radio broadcaster Harold Camping (who had made several end of the world predictions before) claimed that the world would end on this date after the Rapture and a massive, worldwide earthquake starting on May 21, 2011.

5/27/2012

Church of God, Preparing for the Kingdom of God founder Ronald Weinland predicted that Jesus Christ would return on this date. This is a "revised" prediction form an earlier failed prediction made by Mr. Weinland that Jesus would return on May 27, 2011. He had also "predicted" that nuclear bombs would destroy US ports in 2008.
