So....the rapture`s tomorow(yes it`s another rapture thread)

[LostTimeLady]

To be honest, I thought I did, but I actually don't. And yet I still felt scared for some reason...

I don't know why...

Could something be wrong with me?

Actually i have the same feeling too...i've been waking up in a panic twice a night for a reason i can't remember...it's freaking me out

I've been getting the same feeling. I basically put it down to irrational fears. I'm afraid of death/the unknown and so am predisposed to believing something like this because it plays on those fears.

I hope and pray that this guy has got a screw loose and the world isn't going to end. I'm a Christian but I also fear that sometimes that's not enough... Again, irrational.

Matt 24:36 is there for all of us who get hit with this irrationality though. Thinking about that makes me feel better. Also, looking at what he considers to be 'holy numbers' also strikes me as just plan odd, 5, 10 and 17? What? Not 3 for the trinity, 12 for the deciples, 1 for one God, 7 for the number of days God made the world? See, I can pluck numbers out of the bible too and I could easily make a formula but I since Matt 24:36 is there to tell us otherwise I have to conclude that that is the truth. We just don't know.

(Actually saying all that made me feel better...)

(also, the captchas for me is: prophet ettraro... interesting coincidence.)

I think I shall go to my village fair, enjoy it and if someone makes groaning noises smack them with a cricket bat.

EDIT: Also I bet you "I survived Rapture" t-shirts will be on sale next week (ignoring the bioshock rapture ones that probably already exist)

Maybe it will happen and it's just god's plan to get rid of all the herp-derp Christian idiots and liberate us.

every million years an asteriod strikes Earth creating a mass extinction.... and we're overdue.

That's a gambler fallacy. A random event does not become more likely just because it has not occured recently.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who feels this way...

It kinda feels like an odd concept to struggle with, isn't it. I won't admit to being nonreligious, I just have days were I'm just unsure... I think this was the only time I have ever been afraid though...

I recently read in another forum with a similar subject that it was already May 21st in some parts of the world... guess our "prophet" forgot to factor in time differences... (I know I did!... no, I didn't try to guess when the world would end. I'm eccentric, not insane. Yes there is a difference.... I think? I meant I was worried this would happen, but forgot to remember all the different time zones... go figure...)

That's a gambler fallacy. A random event does not become more likely just because it has not occured recently.

Also, that statistic seems incredibly, mind-blowingly off. There've been a few mass extinctions in the past, but I don't think with that frequency.

And something tells me we'd detect an asteroid before it got this close.

poeple its not real i had a chat with my superiors and they said that me and my brothers aren't due for to begin any Apocalypse for a very long time

If you're still scared over this, just look around on the net for how many armageddons there was predicted already.

Or, go watch Pen and Teller where they cover this topic for you and bring up just how many morons put this info out there, write books, etc etc but then go quiet the next sunny day because it didn't happen. You'd be surprised how many times the world was supposed to end.

Here, I'll cut out the middle man here:

It's the end of the world folks, so keep your calendar open for fun after tomorrow.

Edit #2 and here:

Edit 3: Might have some harsh things in it, I haven't seen the episode in a while so watch at your own risk.

Rapture, tomorrow?

This is incredibly silly. Why would Rapture be founded tomorrow. Andrew Ryan isn't even alive anymore.

It's built in his honor. The reason it's tomorrow, is beacuse it had to be someday, and why not tomorrow?

It's funny how this theory only started like 2 weeks ago, and is now all over the internet.

I know, right? The main thing that I'm going to predict for tomorrow is panic on the part of people who actually believe this guy.

And to put this into perspective, here is a nice, lighthearted, satirical little site [http://web.me.com/lorenmadsen/endings/pick_a_year.html]. I hope it manages to amuse.

Every time theres someone announcing doom, for some reason it reminds me of The South Park episode Two days before the day after tomorrow. Where people were running away from global warming as is it was a living entity running after them, that's how retarded people that believe the world is ending tomorrow, or in 2012 are.

I don't think it'll happen, but there is a tiny little part of me that is nagging away at me saying "What if it's true?"

Trust me your not the only one, I don't believe either yet I'm still really anxious.

Ah well it's now 1:40 am here in Northern Ireland and still no sign, which is good because I'm looking to know if I passed my uni exam.

 

[redisforever]

No.

I will be at a party, and we will be playing a drinking game. It's supposed to start at 9PM EST, so every 5 minutes after the rapture should start, you take a drink. Will you need to go to the bathroom first, or will people start disappearing?
