MY "WTF?" moment of the day, religion division...

I know, religion is always good for a "WTF?", but this guy really goes off the deep end.

Rick Wiles: The Government Is ‘Going To Send A Robot To Your House To Eat You For Lunch’

By Kyle Mantyla | March 21, 2017 2:20 pm

Rabid conspiracy theorist and End Times radio host Rick Wiles dedicated his “TruNews” radio program yesterday to delivering an extended warning that the government will soon dispatch an army of flesh-eating robots to devour uncooperative human beings.

Wiles and Steve Quayle, who is a frequent guest on his program, spent nearly two hours discussing the existence of giants, the prevalence of cannibalism and the looming Tribulation, with Wiles at one point warning that “the hatred of Christians will become so great in the Last Days that people will be encouraged to kill and eat them.”

To this end, Wiles cited a 2009 Wired magazine article that reported that a company was working on developing robots that could refuel themselves by ingesting biomass from the environment. Despite the fact that the company itself stated that the robots would rely on plant matter, Wiles remains convinced that they will in fact fuel themselves by feasting on human flesh.

“Our military is developing an army of human flesh-eating robots,” Wiles warned. “If you do not conform to the requirements of this new society, they’re going to send a robot to your house to eat you for lunch. That may sound extremely radical, but that’s where they’re taking it. They will reduce the human population. You will conform!”

When is this going to happen? The magazine article that had Wiles wetting himself is from 2009, so there's an eight time frame when the technology has been perfected. Is this going to happen in three months? Six months? Surely not as long as an entire year! But I'm a sport, Mr. Wiles. I'll bet you $1,000 cash money that this won't happen by the time March Madness is over for 2018. The men's basketball champion of the NCAA will be crowned next year before your dire prediction comes to pass.

Deal? As long as I have to be aware of this free-floating idiocy, I want to make some book on it.

"It's been 2,000 years. Your guy is *NOT* coming back, there isn't going to be a 'Rapture,' no 'Antichrist' or 'Beast,' no end of the world. So get a (bleep)-ing life!"
