No Time To Lose!

Well, since the world is coming to an end on May 21 at 6pm (presumably California time), I have to figure out what to do between now and then.

There’s not really enough time to travel anywhere, so that’s out. So I’ll have to come up with something that I can do locally, and it should be something I’ve never done before. I’m thinking of doing some sky-diving (maybe without a parachute just to make it more interesting). Or perhaps steal a really exotic sports cars and go crazy(-er). But I’m not really sure, and time’s running out.

So I’m looking to you folks for inspiration. How are you planning to celebrate the end of the world?

 

I wasn't aware that we only had one day left. Looks like I'll finally be able to catch up on my napping schedule.

 

If the end of the world is tomorrow why the hell am I at work!?!?

 

Start.

Humping.

Everything.

 

The funny thing about these doomsday predictions is when it doesn't happen, and then the predictors say, "Ah yes, this is just as we expected ..."



You never really get to call them on it. They should be made to put their money where their mouth is and donate their last dollar to charity or something, beforehand.

 

Start this about the 2:18 mark (though the whole thing is great).

 

Hey, the peanut butter smudge in the bible thing could happen. I don't get why everyone was laughing about that. Are they excited about peanut butter? I can see that, as peanut butter is quite wonderful.

The thing I don't get is, will the world be ending tomorrow, or in the following millenia (as mentioned in the video). Or will the world be ending twice? I'm just trying to keep my calendar up to date.

 

Well, since we are all going to die, I recommend that everyone immediately tell their bosses to go kiss their asses and crap themselves a twin sister.

 

It's not the end of the world, it's the Rapture. Completely different thing. Supposedly only a couple of hours away here.

 

Ah, the Rapture. That wouldn't be so bad then.

Just incase, I'll refrain from burning any bridges between now and the scheduled time, because even if it does occur then, there will still be a bunch of us around afterwards.

I'd hate to have to go into the office on Monday and be like -- "Awkward"

 

T minus 6 1/2 hours.
Fook still not being given.
I might go and tie some Christians to heavy objects and see how they feel about missing the rapture. Isn't that a shítty band? I'd feel well short changed if the zenith of an entire belief system was a half hour gig from some pop group...

 

Funny, it says in the Bible about Christ's return that:
"Of that day and hour no one knows, no, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only." (Matthew 24:36)

I listened to a 25 minute sermon of sorts explaining how this May 21st theory came about. It's a fairly convoluted collection of information with some fairly large interpretations of what the information means. Yet, the believers of this theory say that there can be "no doubt" it will happen today. They haven't given themselves any room to back-paddle on this.

If they're right (which PDT allows only 1 hour 10 minutes until 6PM), for those not caught up in the rapture we will supposedly live in torment until the world is consumed in fire on October 21.

These guys sincerely, sincerely believe what they are saying as far as I can tell. It ought to be interesting to see what's being said when, tomorrow, we're all still here, and no more tormented than we've ever been.

For those who are interested, here's the recorded message I listened to. Not sure how much longer it will be up though: http://www.ebiblefellowship.com/outreach/tracts/may21/

So Harold Camping, the 89 year old mastermind of this whole delusion, reportedly told his daughter yesterday: "I'm a little bewildered that it didn't happen, but it's still May 21 (in the United States)."

A little bewildered indeed. He supposedly spent $100 million getting the word out about this.

 

What a ****in' idiot.

 

I bloody well hope not, if this is the afterlife I am extremely disappointed.

 

Apocalypse and Rapture aren't the same thing

 

Don't worry, more end of the world is coming soon.

 

Heaven and Hell have been cleverly designed to look exactly like Earth. It really helps ease the transition for everyone. Ingenious!

 

It should be pointed out that much of that $100 million, which came in primarily through donations, was from people who had been utterly convinced that they would no longer be around on planet earth today. That's right, people's life savings were utterly cleared out, making sure that they had enough resources to make it through to May 21, with every additional penny going to the cause.

So today we have people without a penny left to their name, no arrangements for where they are going to live, no jobs, no arrangements for anything beyond the easy ride in heaven they thought they'd be enjoying. There was reportedly "no doubt" that the rapture would occur, and therefore, no plan b. Many of these people have young children.

For them, I imagine that today is a rather bad day. While I have little pity for the so-called masterminds who led so many astray, I can't help but feel sad for the "sheep" who bought into this lie and staked their families' financial well-being on an old man's delusion.
