Its a laughter in many cases because she is thrown off and has no answer .
I have seen , for example , her laughter come out of left field when nothing was said that was funny or etc.
I'm just going to leave this here.

Christians have been saying that for over 1000 years. It seems like throughout history it's been Jesus is returning this or Armageddon that. What makes you think you have it right now?
He doesn’t. And you pointed out the silliness of trying to pretend it’s right this time.

(And it actually goes back to the second century)

It’s not that she laughs. It’s when and why she laughs.

It’s not a bootstraps problem when inflation drives prices up to the point you can no longer afford the basics.
It is. I'm reliably informed that if your job does not pay enough you should get a better job. It's very much a bootstraps issues. If one is pursuing the American Dream why would slightly higher prices be an issues? Making the right decisions is the perfect insulation to economic variation.

People who have the made the right life choices such as Elon Musk, Mr Trump or that Soros fellow everyone seems to admire so much all made sensible life choices and thus benefit from the invisible hand of the market rewarding all of their hard work.

Seems disingenuous to blame the market and the economy for people being poor when all they need to do is get better jobs and work harder to be billionaires. I'm beginning to think being poor in America is a lifestyle choice.

People are making up for it by taking a second job.

How do you know this? I though even Jesus did not know.
Well, it is common sense that with every passing year, we are ~365.25 days closer to the Great Tribulation compared to the year before. But yes, we do not know the hour of Christ's return.

and the victim card , the oppression make the one who disagrees with you seem as though they a bigot , racists or etc
and you the victim . Its time we see through this tatic .
JESUS didnt go around worrying about how he was seen . he just spoke the truth
time for the church to learn to go and do likewise . And if one wont hear , shake the dust and move on
cause we cannot make one hear , all we can do is speak the truth .
Jesus always has spoken the truth, cos he is the Word (Gospel of John, chapter 1). The victim card gets real old, real fast. Both the churches, and the irreligious must stop playing the victim cards, listen to the truth, and move on.

I can't get access, because I'm not going to pay $17.95 to read this drivel, but I sincerely doubt that this study proves any such thing.

Since we're just saying things, here's another viewpoint that says "Liberals should be worried about the conservative comedy scene" on Politico.

PETER warned about this my friend .
WHERE IS THE PROMISE of HIS COMING they will be saying for all things continue as they did ....................
THIS is the NUMBER ONE response i get from most christains even .
THEY BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS .
I wonder . How many took lott serious
I wonder . HOW many took noah serious
the CLOSER we get to the end , THE MORE folks will mock and say WHERE IS THE PROMISE OF HIS COMING ......
But know this .
WHEN the door of the arc closed , all outside perished .
When lott and his daughters left sodom it was destroyed .
SOO too at the coming of the SON of man .
Men will be given in marriages , living and never knowing the day was nigh
and then DESTRUCTION upon them all .
What was the number one warning that JESUS gave to HIS OWN .
BE WATCHING and BE READY for YE KNOW NOT
and HE gave us signs as did the apostels too .
Iniquity has risen up .
This world and worse even churches
no longer even try and Hide their sins , they celebrate them in the streets for all to see .
GOD called HIS own people SODOM and warned them they did this
and THEN when they repented not , DESTROYED them .
When lotts own sons thought he was a crazy ol bird and had warned them
we must get up out here , THEY took not the warning and died in sodom .
WELL here is my warning
COME QUICKLY one and all , GET YOU UP , COME TO CHRIST , FOR THE LORD GOD GONNA DESTROY this
World . And we aint got the TIME most folks think .

Go to and behold the pattern within jersualem shorty before GOD made it a runious heap .
What were the leaders prophesying , SMOOTH THINGS
and the wicked repented not of HIS EVIL cause them promised them life .
What did GOD tell them . YE are as sodom unto me , you no longer even HIDE your sins
you celebrate them in the streets . HELLO TODAY .
HELLO today . and the preachers preache smooth messages
and no sins are exposed and the wicked repents not of his wickedness for they say GOD IS LOVE ye are fine .
TIS the same THING alex . and
what did the false prophets prophesy of , PEACE
SO Too today do they focus on the unity world peace n safety and sins get overlooked
JESUS gets denied and they all gather under a lie of a love that will save not a one of them .
And all for what they THINK is gonna usher in WORLD PEACE N SAFETY .
ITs gonna usher in something all right but it wont be the world peace n safety they thought it would
Its gonna be SUDDEN DESTRUCTION
cause in order to atain to this world peace n safety they had to REMOVE THE DIRE NECESSITY
of BELIEVING ON JESUS THE CHRIST , cause that offends , it divides ,
and they re created another image of GOD that sure seems to honor all false religoins and even a deadly dark rainbow .
Something is bad wrong alex . A DELUSION has been sent
and its been sent unto a GOD hating world , and though the true ones holler and warn
for churches and men to repent , THEY WILL NOT HEED THEM
and say , GOD IS LOVE we are fine as they continue to pratice and to love THEIR SINS .
ITS a delusion alex and its meant to gather all not in the lambs book of life
to merge as one against GOD and HIS CHRIST and those who wont conform to the lie they call love .

We've been living in the end days since Christ left this earth. What we are looking for is the signs of his coming and the end of the world. Jesus gave us a list if things to watch for that would indicate the time of his coming is close.

The exact day or hour we don't know, but the indication it is very close we do. And when we read his words and the words of the apostles we know it is getting closer but not here yet. There are things yet to occur.

Read the Abstract?

The job of an abstract is to provide a brief overview and summary of a piece of research (check out another blog I wrote HERE, on how to interpret a research paper). From this perspective there is no reason to doubt that what appears in the abstract faithfully reflects the methods, results and interpretation of the study. Unfortunately, it is not the case; abstracts commonly misrepresent the findings of their study; sometimes called ‘spin’, ‘inconsistency’ or ‘mislead’. The problem spans numerous healthcare fields, including in physiotherapy/rehabilitation research (1, 2).
The reasons for spin include bias and compromised integrity on the part of researchers, perverse incentives in academic research systems, and failure of peer-reviewers and editors at journals. The implication is that the content of abstracts cannot be trusted as the basis for making clinical decisions.

Since we're just saying things, here's another viewpoint that says "Liberals should be worried about the conservative comedy scene" on Politico.

From your link.

"But liberals being unwilling to acknowledge conservative comedy because it tends to punch down is something Trump is the sort of exemplar of. Going after a disabled reporter, going after migrants trying to cross into the United States — over and over again, he took as his targets and often as his punchline folks who are in positions of social, cultural and economic marginalization. And so we see a lot of that means-spiritedness across much of right-wing comedy. The casual dabbling in racism, the free license to go after folks who would maybe be a little more protected by mainstream centrist and liberal comedy institutions — that I think is a tone set most prominently by Trump."

Who knew that despite what those no good lefty liberals might say punching down is actually funny? Disabled? Marginalised? Casual racism? Comedy gold, it seems.

While the great day of the Lord is a very interesting subject we are WAY off topic. Perhaps we should think about getting back on. Either that or just shut down the thread. Perhaps someone could start a thread about something going on in the world and tie it to the signs.
