10 Days till the Rapture - SORRY YET?

[Kopji]

USA Today carried a full page advertisement today about Judgment Day. This bothers me a bit. If it is not ok to yell 'fire' in a crowded theater, why is it ok to tell millions of people they are going to die horribly on Saturday?

USA Today sucks, more proof that they are the Reader's Digest of newspapers.

Darn, guess I won't see the Lightning win a second Stanley Cup. Darn shame.

Because we can all point and laugh.

That means I´m not getting to see the new TF movie?

I think it's one of the torments awaiting those of us who are 'Left Behind'!

I actually tried reading those books and found them a worse experience than the fire and brimstone they describe.
(As an aside, the swedish title of the book series is "lämnad kvar" which is more or less synonymous with "efterbliven", i.e. "retarded").

I like it. Maybe people will learn something about evidence when the world doesn't end.

Unfortunately, the people who most desperately need to lern about the value of evidence are the ones who won't.

True, but nothing to do with Harold Camping's predictions.

 

[Sawbones79]

Less than a day left now. Where are the omens? I demand locusts, crying statues and two-headed lambs being born goddammit!

It's close to midnight in New Zealand, and nothing seems to have happened. I guess it is another complete fail.

Well, its 7:45pm here - and all we've had so far is 3 earthquakes, an erupting volcano, a plague of locusts and the undead walking out of their graves.

Yup, typical saturday night in these parts.

See?

Nothing to worry about.

 

[Brown]

Now that the rapture has come and the world is rid of those self-righteous, bigoted, hypocritical a-holes, we can now ...

Pardon me?

They're still HERE??

Huh.

Gee, if they were wrong about the coming of the Almighty, is it possible that they might be wrong about other things as well?

 

[patchbunny]

Aren't folks a little premature here? I understood the world to end at 6:00PM PST. There's still 11 hours to go, enough time for me to shower, eat breakfast, get my motorcycle to the shop, and track down that Twilight Sparkle My Little Pony plush so I have something to cuddle when the apocalypse arrives.

 

[Damien Evans]

well, no one at the 21st I was at got raptured. 1 am on the 22nd here.

 

[Sawbones79]

Seems like this whole non-happening rapture debacle means I'll miss out on the greatest opportunity ever to quote "I got stoned and I missed it" by Dr Hook.

...and a hole in New Jersey that won't confess!
