Christians who believe that the return of Christ as promised in the New Testament (John 14:1-3, Matthew 24-25) is the next major event in the history of salvation. Although most Christian tradition includes this aspect, the Adventist faith is particularly related to the movement started by Baptist evangelist William Miller in the 1830s in the United States. It continues today in several denominations, but most prominently the Seventh-day Adventist Church with some 25 million adherents worldwide in 2005.

Get the Auburn Adventist Academy mug.http://www.mspaintadventures.com is a webcomic created by Andrew Hussie. It's based off of an old style text-based adventure game, readers type in "commands" for the comic. The commands then get looked over carefully and are selected based on a rather exacting set of standards, such as whichever one seems to capture the most striking intersection between cleverness and idiocy. Or, whichever the hell one they feel like picking. The picked command is then drawn and the story continues.
The site contains 3 adventures so far, only one is actually complete. The first adventure was jail break followed by Bard Quest and Problem Sleuth which is now the main story.
This site is recommended to anyone who likes web comics and doesn't mind spending a couple of hours reading Problem Sleuth (Its that long, but a save and load is provided.)
