Ok, with all of these threads popping up, I feel obligated to point out that he predicted the rapture would happen at 6PM Eastern Time, so he hasn't been proven wrong yet.thethingthatlurks said:Oh dear, it would appear I am still on terra firma post rapture, which means I (and incidentally all of you who are still here) will have to suffer through the end of the world. So, fellow doomed escapists, what shall I do 'till the arrival of those four horsemen? Rape? Arson? Looting? Murdering my asshole neighbor? Praying for forgiveness?
On a slightly more serious note: let us suppose there actually was a rapture (copious amounts of peyote help with the suspension of disbelief), and all of us still on earth are doomed. What would we do? I mean as a civilization, given that only a small number of people are supposed to be "saved." Apparently there are supposed to be natural disasters, so would it be in our interest to avert as much suffering as possible, or give in to our most animalistic instincts and loot? Prepare for retaliation against whatever cosmic force wants to obliterate all there is, or ask it for mercy? Yes, this is a serious question. What should humanity do to avert its own extinction? We do have a fairly strong self-preservation instinct after all.
PS: no, I of course do not believe in such ludicrous fairy tales like the apocalypse (which incidentally only means "prophecy" or "revelation," not "destruction of the world"). Besides, the stars are not even properly aligned to allow the Old Ones to return...
Clearly you haven't looked at Earth lately.thaluikhain said:Well, depends what you mean by "doomed". If large chunks of the population were to be lifted off the Earth, that'd cause quite an upset...but, IIRC, the amount of people who will get into heaven from all across the world is less than a good sized disaster would kill in a local area anyways.
Otherwise, we'd get on with it...future generations will be bitter about not having been given a chance to be raptured, and when the scientists discover were heaven is, it'd be taken by force.
No...humans have the technology to send small groups of people temporarily to the Earth's moon, given enough advance warning. And they can't do anything close like destroy a planet.madster11 said:Humans have the technology to destroy planets and live on ones where no life can exist.
On the other hand, the magnitude of natural disaster needed to wipe out humanity...even a full scale nuclear exchange wouldn't do that.
This is actually Hell.Dommius said:If this is heaven why do I still work at Wal-Mart?Dulcinea said:The end of the world already happened.

I dont see the point of this, giving in to the most basic animal instincts, why would anyone want to do this, is seeking pleasure for the sake of pleasure so important to people?thethingthatlurks said:give in to our most animalistic instincts and loot?
