The whole rapture thing

[Dr. wonderful]

...You do realized that ALOT of people, including Catholic people thought it was bullshit?

Hell, my theology teacher exact quote:

"What do you think of may 21?"
"I tell you on may 22."

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.

Hey, someone else who actually read the Book. *high five*

EACTLY.

I read that passage and that why I wasn't scared. I just feel sorry for the people who felled to that scam.

You want to know how much money that guy made? 73 million dollars and not a single cent. I'm thinking of doing something for anyone who felled to that sccam, raised some money or something.

The world wasn't really ending yesterday. All the "good Christian people" would ascend, and the world would actually end on October 21st.

I don't see anyone missing... so I can safely assume that no one is truly a good Christian the rapture didn't actually happen.

I was told "good christans" would get a vision of heaven, while everyone else would get a vision of hell.

Either Heaven is like any other Saturday, or Hell isn't so bad, or the guy is just a crazy person.

Oh wait, I think I did get a vision of hell.

All this rapture nonsense... all the news and people talking about it, flooding it everywhere. Its just a taste. When 2012 rolls around, it'll be 10x worse...

Well, I clicked on the Red Button yesterday, does that count as a vision of hell?

2012 won't happen unless a giant feathered snake appears and devours the world whole.

So says the Mayans. Funny how people leave that part out.

Hmm. Maybe I should stop my bird-snake crossbreeding experiments..... nah, what's the worst that could happen? The growth hormones are across the room in an open box anyways. No flying snake is going to get into those.

I didn't really care either way; butI pulled an all night "Gears Of War 2" gaming session. You know, just in case. But I thought it was a little silly because apparently the christians that predicted this didn't read the whole Bible because-
Before I go on I'd like to ask that nobody attack me or the Bible because I'm simply stating what it says.
- the book says that the rapture/end of the world is known only to God. The angels don't know it, not even Jesus himself. So if it was to happen, we certainly wouldn't have seen it coming.

Amen sister.

It annoys me to no end that people do not read anymore. When I first heard the 'story' I asked "how are they getting past 'X, Y, and Z'"? Sadly, no one in the media ever asked those questions (that I am aware of) so I still do not know the answer.

That's what it was? Gah, I've heard so many different versions of it. It's getting less and less funny.

Ah, well, there's always 2012.

Pretty funny indeed.

I'm just wondering how they thought buying canned food would help them when the End of the World came.
