This thread is in the Joke section. I could respond with more emojis but somehow I don't think that's your point.

Not meaning to get in the way, but to me the false religious concept of ' fly or fry ' is a joke.
To me teaching people that a person is more alive after death than before death (fly away) is a joke.
To me teaching people that they are very alive at death and will burn (fry) forever is a joke.

KJV translated the word Gehenna as hellfire. Gehenna was just a garbage pit where things were destroyed.
Both Jesus and the old Hebrew Scriptures teach unconscious ' sleep ' in death according to John 11:11-14; Psalms 115:17; Psalms 146:4; Ecclesiastes 9:5, so the joke is on people who believe in the ' fly or fry ' teaching instead of a peaceful sleep (Not knowing the passing of time) until they are resurrected during Jesus' coming 1,000-year rule over Earth.

Fine and all but it may have more impact in an actual debate thread. Posting it in a joke thread kinda makes it a joke.

well time to panic and in the immortal words of Herman Wouk.....When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.

List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events
All those are false prophets, any true prophet knows the end is in 2035.
