So The World is Ending Tomorrow

the bible states that as long as one person expects the apocalypse to happen, it will not happen

He is just going to claim some misunderstanding or miscalculation that means it is really going to be at some later date, and start this idiocy all over again.

Even worse is the fact that there will be people who still believe him.

I hate the fact that because of such people half the world is convinced all religious people are some sort of lunatics and religion should be banned.

Then I will expect it everyday to save your asses.

I thought that with all the world end predictions of the past we would have moved on by now .

And yeah, it's almost 7 here. Guess the Rapture ain't beginning just yet. Wonder what Mr. Camping will have to say for himself to all those people who followed him.

I'm thinking something along the lines of "LOL, u mad?"

Basically his entire staff has business booked up through the next year, and have already said they're pretty sure nothing is going to happen. That makes me wonder whether he himself truly believes any of it or if he's just another con man.

Also, he's made $72 million and counting off of this May 21st rapture claim.

May 21 End of the World: Harold Camping's $72M business - May. 19, 2011

History repeats itself, ect.

I haven't had a look outside yet. Safe to assume the world is still there?

The world is. Not many people though, mostly corpses.

[Bunny]

Well that's fine then. Maybe now I won't wake up at 5am to a thousand car alarms and people yelling all the time.

Thanks Rapture!

[Skyblade]

Thanks, Andrew Ryan! Oh, wait, wrong Rapture.

[Fynn]

Isn't it, like, the worst Rapture ever?

[NorthernChaosGod]

I think I'm going to wait until my 6PM just to be sure I'm in the clear.

[Polnareff]

Amusingly, the same guy who came up with the theory that the world was ending today was the same one who said it'd end on September 6, 1994 (or whereabouts; I only know it was in 9/94 because it wasn't long after I turned 6 years old).

When the world failed to end, he chalked it up to a "mathematical error." Wonder what his excuse will be this time.

The good book even says that nobody knows when the world will end. So why do people use the Bible to point to when the world will end? Makes no sense to me.

[Jentleness]

Good think I'm a Catholic and the time of Rapture is not part of my doctrine

Come again? Since when do Catholics not believe in the rapture?

Or has the Catholic church disregarded the book of Revelation?

I was raised Catholic and attended Christian Center School (which taught fundalmental Christian beliefs) from 6th - 8th grade and Moreau Catholic High School. Rapture is a Protestant concept; while Catholics believe in Revelation they are not taught that they are going to be excluded from the coming Tribulation. It's one of the few concepts that the Catholic Church and I actually agree on.

The good book even says that nobody knows when the world will end. So why do people use the Bible to point to when the world will end? Makes no sense to me.

True, not man, not angels, not even the Son of God, only the Father. Jesus also pointed out that there would be many false prophets who would come to lead people astray and to be wary and not follow them.
