So...the rapture's today.

[boradis]

I'm in Hawaii, and as I write this I guess we've got four hours until people start rapturing up off the streets?

Guess I picked the right night to break out the whiskey and invite my favorite girl over so we can sin it up.

 

[Jopoho]

Anyone who actually reads into the bible well enough to get anything relevant out of it will see that it says that the rapture is never going to come on a day that a man predicts it to come on.

It really makes predictions of doomsday "using the bible" hilarious.

Exactly. The question is can we predict all but one day to be the rapture, and therefore confirm that date as the rapture date?

 

[GodofCider]

out of all the days you just predicted, do you know for sure which one it will be?
that's the point

Of course, that's an easy one:

Tomorrow.

Priceless.

tomorrow doesn't specify a single date in the larger time stream

but I do appreciate your humor. haha

Tomorrow is always a day away.

When will the rapture take place? Tomorrow.

Tomorrow comes...

The rapture didn't happen. When will the rapture take place?

Tomorrow.

I don't see how you can say it's not a specified date.

 

[Derek Westlund]

the Apocalypse will never happen on a day man predicts it will so if someone predicts it to happen every day it might happen it will never happen

false predictions are a preventative measure

an apocalyptic prediction a day keeps the apocalypse away

I don't see how you can say it's not a specified date.

tomorrow is an abstract concept, referencing the date that follows the current date.
do you know which "tomorrow" in particular the world will end? you can think it's always the date following the current date, but you don't know

and even if you somehow could change your beliefs every single day for the rest of your life, what happens after you die? you can't know anything after you're dead, so this line of reasoning fails if the apocalypse falls past the date of your death.

I'm not too keen on Andrew Ryan coming down and taking me to Rapture to be honest. I mean, look at what happened in Bioshock.

Oh, there's a different kind of Rapture? My bad.

 

[Fawful]

I thought it was 6am EST. For pouring millions of dollars into advertising, these people really did a bad job at spreading the word.

It's 6pm in every time zone, so "the rapture" will apparently just stay still starting at 6pm on the international date line and wait for everyone on earth to just slowly rotate toward it. Or something.

 

[zombiestrangler]

Same thing I do every day. Sit around, apply to jobs, play some video games, drink some hard liquor.

This, except no liquor.

 

[CleverCover]

Play a video game. Go to a party. Eat cake....

Hmm, maybe I should call up my grandparents and see how they're doing...

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

Whatever I feel like. There's a rapture scheduled to happen every other day according to someone.

 

[Farseer Lolotea]

I just warned my fiancé, once again, to watch out for mass panic and possible roof-jumpers. Again, I'm less worried about the predictions of the doomsday prophet of the hour than about the people who believe them.

Whatever I feel like. There's a rapture scheduled to happen every other day according to someone.

I found a site predicting T.E.O.T.W.A.W.K.I. for just about every year, for the past few centuries into the past and the future. Was that what you had in mind?

 

[Jaythulhu]

Out of sheer curiosity, why would god start the apocalypse on american time? surely he'd use egyptian time, since that's where he first spoke to moses (and all the really strange and silly shit started) or the timezone of wherever that place in africa is that some call the "cradel of life", the one where all humans can apparently trace their dna ancestry to?

It would have been fun to be slightly to the east of that and just watch was was happening a mile west of you. For future reference: I don't think anything not on Earth gives a shit (or knows) about time zones. Pretty sure if the world was going to end it would happen all at once.

 

[Floggo]

I'm gonna' look at the sky, wait for Jesus. And if that fails. I'll giggle.

 

[IDTheftVictim]

Piss on a Tree while singing "This Land is my Land"

And yes, it's completely irrelivent to the Rapture, but that's the beauty of it! =D

(Internet Cookie for whoever can guess what that's from *points to first sentence*)

That FX show "Wilfred"?

Might do a little looting from stores, that is what's traditionally done in these situations

Wilfred

I believe Doomsday situations call for the looting of stores

 

[IDTheftVictim]

oops, double post

 

[Doppelgenger]

Going to buy Brink, go on a protest against the raise on the community traffic prices, then I'm going to a rapture party. Tomorrow I'm going to laugh at all the people who gave away their money and possessions cause a senile old man read a thousand year old book a certain way.

Which means as long as people keep predicting doomsdays then there won't be one.

OT: It just turned 12 here in cally so far no apocalypse. Anyways my plans for today because its my day off, I'm going to sit on my ass and play CnC games then around 6pm drop off my step dad for work and head off to a dispensary to celebrate the rapture the cally way.

 

[TilMorrow]

Well just getting on my horse of the apocalypse and waiting till War texts me to get my ass moving meanwhile I'll be playing some of these videos games: Earth HD RTS, 2012, Fallout:NV and Apocalypse Now to get in the mood of slaying sinners. Oh wait I just got a message from high up saying they are gonna be trolling through earthquakes this time... Guess I'm waiting till 2012.
