Rapture Tomorrow

[spartan231490]

According to Harold Camping, an evangelist that predicted the end of the world back in '82 I think, tomorrow is the Rapture. And he has made sure we all hear about it.

He's put up, like, 2,200 billboards, plenty of sign-holders, a few accounts made to post on videos "May 21st is Judgement day" yatta yatta yatta.
So, even though this contradicts the bible ("No man shall know the day." "Beware false prophets." "Not even angels know the day."), what do you think?

I think, that regardless of the truth of this assertion, this being a friday, I plan to party like I'm going to hell.

This thread reminded me of the fact that I still have play through Bioshock 2.

This is what I was like for the past few days as well - couldn't get why people were going on about bioshock so much recently...till people started talking about zombies and I found out about this crap.

 

[Tharwen]

Only 37 minutes left!

The anticipation is making me tired...

EDIT: I hope the chap who predicted this has prepared his servers for the vast (should I say... 'apocalyptic'? Teehee) amount of mockery that will descend on him from the intertubes...

Does this surprise anyone? I mean Duke Nukem forever is just about to come out and whats REALLY more likely to happen here first. The rapture or actually playing Duke Nukem forever. Exactly. In all seriousness this is as funny as it is sad. Man their is going to be some very angry people after tmrw.

Well sorry mate...Its already tomorrow in Australia and it certainly hasn't ended yet...
SO HA!!!

 

[Urgh76]

I'll be fine as long as they don't learn to open doors

........

Wait.... *reads* Rapture Oooohhhhh.

yeah I say it's just another one of those year 2000 phases our world is going through

 

[hazard99]

I presume that the Rapture would be pretty poor.

What is the requirement to get into heaven then?
Do I have to believe in God?
Do I have to ask for forgiveness from God?
Is it enough to ask for forgiveness, but not believe in him?
Or is too late ( If rapture is tomorrow) to do any of those things?

 

[Scrubiii]

All I want is a livestream of Harold Camping waking up on Sunday morning.

 

[Shanecooper]

I wish the rapture would hurry up already. That way people will stop going on about the end of
the world and we can get back to doing important stuff. Like... frisbee, or stockbrokering.
Important stuff.

 

[Cracker3011]

No. I'm getting a trilby tomorrow. No armaggedon allowed.

 

[Mannayz]

Rapture, eh? BRING IT ON. I'LL BE CELEBRATIN' THE 22ND OF MAY WITH IRISH CAR BOMBS.

 

[blankedboy]

It's already the 21st across the international date line, so... :-\

Yeah, I've already proved the muppet wrong. It's a beautiful, sunny May 21st with no apocalypse in sight :>

 

[M0rp43vs]

You know with all the "end of the world!!" parties people are planning (both sarcastically and sincerely). I'm starting to think whoever is spreading these rumors is just looking for an excuse to throw a party

 

[Ekonk]

I'm speaking to you from the world beyond. It is half an hour into the Rapture here. Things are looking spiffy.

 

[Ace of Spades]

Well, I have my first date tomorrow, which might explain why people think the world's going to end.

Lol ^_^

Good luck and remember to just enjoy yourself; most importantly though: don't act like someone you're not.

Thanks for the advice I'm not quite as nervous as I thought I'd be.

You know what my favorite thing is about the doom sayers? When the day passes, where are they then? Where are their loud mouthed boastful, fear mongering words then? They always seem to just be forgotten.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

I think I will never, ever understand how people can put so much into something that they have no real incentive to believe...I mean people are selling their fucking possessions in preparation for this thing man.

Incidentally, what is the purpose of that? If the world is to end then who needs possessions anyway, why not just hold on to them just in case...

Why the hell would you do something as stupid as that? You wouldn't need the money or the possessions if it truly is judgement day, it only shows your true greed in times of panic.

OT: Ain't shit all I can do about it. If it is the day that God picks those who will go to heaven then I guess I'll just have to wait and see if I make the cut. I am in serious doubt over it mind, I've never been the guy who can recite the 10 commandments, let alone obey all of them that are in the bible.

What I think is largely irrelevant at this point, it either happens or it doesn't.

 

[Savage_Girl]

So, this whole thing is news to me. To busy reading post-apocalyptic fiction to notice this doomsday.

 

[blindraven]

Well, tomorrow I'll wake up and have survived my second 'end of the world' scare as my memory serves, a nice resume addition. Though you know what they say, third time's the charm and all, so when is the next one?

oh, 2012?

...well darn, we're screwed.

iirc selling all of your possesions is actually a requirement to get into heaven.


On topic: I don't understand why so many people are getting this wrong. It's Ragnarok tomorrow. Nobody will be saved. Bar the two that the remaining gods select. You are on your way to destruction. You have no chance to survive make your time.
