I was wondering how this whole end of the world works... they said its going to start at 6 p.m. According to which time zone ? I live in +1 this means I have one hour more than Greenwhich ? BTW each end of the world sucked. Hope this one will be lil bit better.
Some atheists used this happening to earn some money through pet owners dumb enough to believe this.
A guy raised about $35k by having idiots pay him to look after their pets when they leave.
The terms were: I'll pick them up a minimum of 24 hours after I see you've gone to heaven, no refunds, we adopt the pets so we'll take good care of them.
Of course, it was more fleshed out, but yeah. It's amazing.
It's also funny how if someone claimed the giant potato lord was going to turn everyone to stone tomorrow, it would be insanity.
Also 300 Vietnamese folk sold themselves into poverty to afford a bus ticket to a gathering preparing for the rapture.
This is one of the best days ever to not be a complete psycho.
Too bad the Bible owns this fools theory and mathematics:
MARK 13: 28-33
28 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 29 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that itURL="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2013&version=NIV#fen-NIV-24747d"]d[/URL is near, right at the door. 30 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. The Day and Hour Unknown
32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alertURL="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2013&version=NIV#fen-NIV-24751e"]e[/URL! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
...
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the beast, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [in other words, it's going to be obvious]
...
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
What time is it at over there? It's supposed to happen 6pm your timezone.
This reminds me of that episode with the Simpsons, where this was all a big ad for the opening of a new mall. But I have a feeling that this will just end up nasty for all those people that were SURE it was going to happen today.
Silly people, it's not the end of the world today, this is just the rapture bit where all the dead that ever lived will rise (even the cremated ones). The end of the world part is in October.
For us left behind that means 5 months of zombies.
The world WAS going to end, but the Macho Man gave his life to go elbow drop Jesus and prevent the rapture. If we see tomorrow, his plan was a success.
So. Everyone else still here?
I'm sure some of you got drafted to be concept artists for heaven and all (they are in dire need of an update. white clouds and bliss are so last century.)
So that's clothing and laundry sorted out, but what about haircuts?
Does whatever you have at the time of rapture get frozen on your head for all eternity? If so you'd better get it good or you'll be chronically unfashionable in a few millenia
Or does heaven's stylist pull the same trick he does with the robe thing, and decree what he thinks is perfect?
Facial hair? Who makes the call between designer stubble and just unshaven face fungus? Eeeh its a theological minefield. I require answers
...end of the world...today, you say?...ohhh...not sure i can. Ah, yeah sorry, i'm already chalked in for a charity gig. Maybe next time week I could fit it in. What about Thursday 12:30? We'll do lunch.

I'll humor you, with scripture! (Not from the bible though, hope that's still okay) XD
43 The spirit and the body shall be reunited again in its perfect form; both limb and joint shall be restored to its proper frame, even as we now are at this time; and we shall be brought to stand before God, knowing even as we know now, and have a bright recollection of all our guilt.
23 The soul shall be restored to the body, and the body to the soul; yea, and every limb and joint shall be restored to its body; yea, even a hair of the head shall not be lost; but all things shall be restored to their proper and perfect frame.
So whatever you deem as the "proper and perfect frame" (like you're in the matrix!). Do you want facial hair?

Life isn't fair.
Oh well, at least I have 10 hours to do what I want.
*sits around doing nothing*

You never did see Randy and Jesus in the same room, together. What a swindle!
Better make sure to finish the whole thing then, had no idea it was today

what about the servants that don't want to work for him anymore..they can just leave and get a job somewhere else?...or are we talking about slaves?
Absolutely disgusting behaviour, and a man with the longest arms in the world.
sips cup
noooooooooo
Don't let this stupidity ruin anyone's opinion of intelligent religious people.
[EDIT]
Using the bible, just to show to people this is ridiculous

disappointment every fucking time.
The CDC wanted us all to be ready. http://emergency.cdc.gov/socialmedia/zombies_blog.asp
I knew keeping a zombie emergency kit was a good plan!
I'm all ready now.
Who knew all that time spent playing CoD Zombies and L4D would have payed off.
Get some of your old clothes, and lay them around town (parks, sidewalks, front lawn and etc.) Sit back grab a beer and watch people freak out.
/vomit
No actually robes of pure white.
Got to see who survives in the premier league football!
I'm sure some of you got drafted to be concept artists for heaven and all (they are in dire need of an update. white clouds and bliss are so last century.)
Ah. Heaven has a changing room.
White's no good. You see all the stains
No, when your raptured your body instantly changes to an eternal body clothed in white robes... and heavens perfect.... there are no stains.
