So much preparation is now happening for the day of declaration of the adversary!

Are you serious? They're just fucking movies! Besides, if there was "preparation" they wouldn't be showing a bunch of movies, they'd be freaking out and building up a stockpile of weapons. Might I remind you that, should your retarded fairy tale be true, Australia would likely be one of the least prepared countries/continents?
It's SciFi Night on Channel 7 ... it must be the Rapture!
Australia lost at cricket ... it must be the Rapture!
I had pizza for supper ... it must be the Rapture!
So Australian TV networks showing re-runs of films is a sign of the anti-christ?
And there I was thinking it was a sign of mediocrity on the part of the broadcaster.
More worryingly, this moron seems to live in the same city as me.
Uh, you're a bit late worrying about the first two, as number one the (the original, non-shitty-Tom Cruise version, anyway) came out over fifty years ago, the second is also several years old, and the third one is totally unrelated and deals with catastrophic climate change, which you dipshits claim doesn't exist.
Oooh, you're SO right, Barry. Television programming really can make one think the end of the world must be at hand, can't it? Over here we call that phenemenon "Fox News".
aaa wroteIt's just a bunch of big budget disasploitation films. They just make money for some bigshots in california.
Ah, but those Californian bigshots are all lieberal Demoncrats pushing the Gay Agenda and the the fall of Western civilization, every fundie knows that...
#1067767, Nathan the Wise: I'll admit, when the Aussies lost at Rugby to Scotland , I'd have forgiven anyone for thinking it was a sure sign of the apocalypse...

No need to apologise. We have plenty of home grown fools in Oz.
After all, we exported Ken Ham (he of the Creation "museum") to you.
Even worse, we produced Ray (Banana) Comfort.
Australian television has never run theme nights before?
The original War of the Worlds has a very religious theme, so I assume the version they're showing you is the lousy remake.
That's it, Rapture Ready has officially gone off the deep end now that anything having to do with aliens means the end of the world is near.
And I have to second the fact that the original War of the Worlds was very religious. The crappy remake with Tom Cruise was just, well, crappy.
I wonder if I still have the book around somewhere...
@ solomongrundy
It ain't over 'til it's over. If they ever get shut down (consider what they think "soon" means) it will always have been the fault of Obama, and Clinton's dick.
The only non-literary War of the Worlds worth talking about is Jeff Wayne's version. *sings* "The chances of anything coming from Mars, are a million-to-one, he said..." True brilliance.
And I'm totally lost now. What the hell do alien invasion movies have to do with the End Times(TM)? But then, what does anything have to do with anything in Fundieland...

Some Rapturites claim Sci-Fi movies are supported by secret enemies of Christianity in the world's governments. After years of the public watching them when the 'True Christians' are all raptured the Anti-Christ run government will be able to blame their disappearance on mass alien abductions and the public will believe it.
Seriously.
What solomongrundy said. ^^^
Yes, they seriously believe it. They've been talking about it for a while now. They're also saying that Obama is going to announce the existence of extra-terrestrial life, that's what the "day of declaration of the adversary" is all about.
Which is why I say they've gone far off the deep end. In fact, they're so far off the deep end, they're sinking down to where light fades to a dark blue and then eventually just darkness.
It's sad that there are people with nothing better to do on a Saturday evening than watch that lot. I mean, Independence Day really sucks rocks.
Yes, and just wait until we start the High Cholesterol Bake Sale of Evil, and the George Carlin Memorial Telethon, and our famous Brimstone Ribs and Beer fund-raiser. That will really kick the preparations into high gear! We plan to market a little plastic "Beelzebuddy" for the dashboard too. You heard it here first!
PS: Get a life!
Since you seem to live in the same city as me, there's only one thing I have to say to you:
"In the words of my generation, up yours!"
With idiots like this guy, I like to take comfort from the fact that the "Australian Catholic University", and Universities like them, will never get into the "Group of Eight" due to the fact that secularism is one of the main requirements

@John_in_Oz:
Sheesh! Everything is a sign of the endtimes for these crazies.
So a TV network wants to present 3 movies with a "disaster" theme, and these nuts thinking it's the freaking end of the world? They seem to be so obsessed over leaving this plane of existence, I wouldn't be surprised to hear the news one day about how drank the flavor-aid Jonestown style, because in their minds that would have been their "rapture".
Remember these are the people who thought the dog dying was a sign.
A sign of animal abuse maybe (they didn't bother with a vet) but of the end times? It would take me quite a while to count the number of animals I've had in my life that are now dead.
The ABC's movie slot tends to be in the graveyard shift and mostly shows really old films.
Hey those viewers must hate daylight and be really, really old - OH NOES, VAMPIRES, MINIONS OF TEH ADVERSERY!!!
Must be the Rapture.
"declaration of the adversary!"
From the surrounding horizon an eternal "La" is sung by an infinity of angels.
In Perth Australia on Saturday evening one national broadcaster is showing:
All of which are films. Y'know. As in fiction. Specifically Science Fiction. . And in which, despite terrible odds, humanity overcomes & survives events that potentially spell doom for everyone, but they prevail.
What would happen if, the same network showed "On the Beach"* and "Mad Max", barryinaustralia? You'd shit yourself.
You must've cacked yourself when England won The Ashes, amirite? That was literally the end of the world for you Aussies, sports-wise.
I'm a Brit - and an Atheist. *smug *
*- The film is good, but I can recommend the original novel by Nevil Shute.
Perth is the city of light and the center for world evil.
Grunge rock began in Perth!
Everyone knows it is the home of satan on earth.
My son lives in Perth :-)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
