World to End Saturday, May 21, 2011

I really can't wait to hear their response once the day is over.

In 1994 it was shame on him.. this time around its shame on the followers.

No zombies. But a baseball kid ran up to me and I thought he was gonna bite me... But he was just really cold and strange. Lil devils

I had a great day regardless, whether the world ends tonight or not I'm still going to bed with a smile so bring it on!


I seriously have trouble understanding how anyone could blindly accept something like an end of the world prediction based soley on religious faith. Its not like some dazzling white entity descended from the clouds and made the announcement, it was just some old guy...

Nah, Macho Man Randy Savage sacrificed his life and soul yesterday to pay for our sins and prevent the apocalypse.

I am starting the Church of Savage, where every sermon begins with OOoooooohhhhh Yeeeeaaaahhhhh! He's the new Jesus!

Take that shit Hay-sus!

So... I spent all day in bed servicing the wife thinking this is the way to celebrate the end. Sonofabitch I guess I wasted all that energy for nothing.




+1.....the wife is happier than she has been in a while.




shes so lucky

PP you gotta make sure her oil is changed every 3000 miles. I was hoping to call in sick today but none of my managers would answer the dang phone.

That is sad Frosted. That's certainly one of the main things that bugs me about all of these different doomsday predictions. There's always a group of people that sincerely believe it and do irrational, horrible things because of it. Oh how they must be feeling today.

Oakland false prophet Harold Camping made headlines over the last few weeks with his prediction that Jesus was returning on May 21, 2011 at 6:00 pm in various time zones around the world. He proclaimed that, at the moment, his followers would ascend to heaven while the others (i.e., you) suffered through a massive earthquake and, later in October, the end of the Earth. The former civil engineer used numerology and the Bible as his predictive tools. As the hours passed, however, Camping's forecast never came to fruition. SFist contributor Laura Beck captured this shot of the minister's Alameda home at 6:01 p.m. today. According to Reuters, the curtains were drawn at Camping's house, and nobody was answering the door. Family Radio, Camping's multi-million dollar-funded network that helped spread his message, was playing recorded church music and sermons throughout the day. This wasn't his first time predicting the end of the world. Camping had predicted that Judgment Day would be in September 1994, a day that passed with litte fuss or muss.

Maybe I awoke in heaven today. I'm going to say that I did. So far. The birds sound nice but it's kinda overcast. I didn't expect it to be cloudy in heaven really. Rain was completely out of the question...especially on the first day. I mean what kind of welcome is that? Sure the flowers are blooming, the birds are chirpin but don't walk in the friggin grass or your feet will get wet. Huh.

I wonder what this guy will say. He got the math wrong again? Maybe he's dead like a suicide thing so at least he can fulfill his own prophecy. That wouldn't surprise me either.

Hopefully.

Hahaaa I'm alive, even gave extra 18h to his predictions to come true but nothing happened, only internet went away last night around 7pm and came back today morning.

[mh_logic]

I'm pissed. Some people in town had a huge rapture sale yesterday. They made a sweet sign and I was going to post a pic of it but I drove by this morning and it wasn't there.

That Camping dude is living kind of modestly for running a multi-million dollar Christian mini empire. I wonder where all of his money is?

[CoderGuy]

The sad thing is when he comes out with his "new" date based on the "corrected" math, his followers (and other whackjobs) will believe him again like these two times never happened.

[tom502]

Well, I think it's more a space between now and Oct it's said to "happen".
Most Christians did not believe him, as well as most anyone. I don't see how one can get an accurate date or anything from a book that is full of inaccuracies and errors, and gaps, additions, and omissions. As well as filled with fairy tales of supernatural stories.

So, even while most Christians rejected his prediction, they most still do believe the fantastic tales as true, like the rapture.
