What do I think? I think the whole thing was actually set to happen. Everything was in place, the gears were in motion and we were all about to be raptured. And then, at the last minute. The hand of judgment was stayed. Because Macho Man Randy Savage passed on, just to buy us some time:Zetablade said:

RIP Randy, I've been eating slim jims and hardening arteries thanks to you for 20 years now.
he said something about shit hitting the fan in five months seeing as how nothing interesting happened yesterday (no fire and brimstone,extreme rain storm, zombies etc.) it,s all a hoax (like anybody except for that old guy truly believing it)
I considered it to be a [a href="http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.285521-Anyone-hear-the-Trumpets-yet#11259852"]bunch of malarkey[/a], though it seemed Lady Luck wanted to mess with me that day in an incredibly mini-rapture.Zetablade said:
Yesterday, while I was playing some 40k Tabletop games at my local hobby shop, the mini-rapture seemed to take away all the good dice roles to a better place, as I rolled a total of 99 ones in the span of 2 games. The funnier bit still was the fact that at the 50 ones mark I swore that if I rolled 100 ones, that I would throw out my dice and buy some new ones, so Lady Luck messed with me again and I rolled 1 one short of the limit.
Other than that though, yeah nothing happened.
it just makes me irritated how people will do these scams and how supposed Christians would believe it even though the other 99% of the Christian population has enough sense to read the part where it says that man can not predict when the rapture will come. so if some one predicts it, you DEFIANTLY know that its not true.
lets see let me take out my bible here...oh yes, here it is:
"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angles in heaven, nor the Son."
Matthew 24:36
see that? not even angles and JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF will know when the end happens.
read a book you crazy people.

Well, seeing how apparently no one actually reads the Bible, it doesn't surprise me that people continue to believe whatever they hear. A Christian who doesn't read the Bible is a blind sheep, and normal sheep are notorious for needing rather extensive shepherding. Imagine trying to herd a blind sheep. They'd let anyone push them along, even over a cliff.
It doesn't surprise me, but it does sadden me. People just don't seem to learn. No one knows when the Lord will come. If even the angels don't know, why would someone think a man would? He shall come like a thief in the night; in the blink of an eye He will come and go. No one will see Him coming.
Also, the fire and brimstone comes later. One must build tension to make an event suitably dramatic.
*high five*

Ok well it wasn't thousands of people it was a few, very stupid individuals who IMO deserve to be in the gutters for listening to this dumb fuck.

well I very much doubt that I'd be going to heaven (stupid Christians and their "the only unforgivable sin is stealing", I mean come on I was 8 and it was a book about snakesIrridium said:
so I must have had a vision of hell this morning. well if hell is waking up next to my girlfriend then I think I can live with it.
or of course it could just be that this whole thing is BS.
But tbh me and most of the people at my college only heard about this doomsday thing on friday and thought it wouldn't be too bad if it did happen (tomorrow is the start of finals *gulp* ^_^ )
well, another doomsday theory disproven, the sad part of it all is all the people who actually believed it, and lost everything because of it (sold their possessions/ quit their jobs etc). I heard the dude who made this prediction put up a bunch of billboards saying the world would end on that day. that being said i think there should be a law making it illegal to post doomsday predictions on billboards, or at the very least allow class action lawsuits to be filled against these guys for Fraud.
It seems funny on the surface, but the more you think about this and hear from people who used to be on the 'inside'.... I feel sorry for the kids caught up in this. Imagine if you were a little kid and your parents told you that this one specific day you were all going to Heaven (so you die, but without the death part, because kids have such a solid understanding of death) and their toys and pets and home and non-Real-True-Christian classmates and friends were going to be destroyed in hellfire and divine wrath. That'd be enough to put me in therapy, but then they have to live through a countdown to the day, the day, and then the crushing realization that their parents put them through all that torment for NOTHING.
This Rapture garbage is sick and corrosive and fucks people up in the head, both stupid adults and the poor kids the adults are considered fit to raise.
