What do you guys mean, the rapture isn't in the Bible?

1 Thessalonians 4
14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep. 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; 17then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Matthew 22:30 (New International Version)

30 At the resurrection people...will be like the angels in heaven.

John 11:25 (New International Version)

25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;

etc.
 
Dear Mr Camping:

It turns out that there was no rapture. Apparently it is another test of faith. But here is an idea. Why not test your humanity and see if you can repay all that money that it turns out your flock may need after all. What with there actually being time for their kids to go to college, and the possibility they may one day have a genuine need for it.

Yours:
Everybody.

Dear Everybody,
LoL I can't believe people fell for it. I'm an evil manipulative douche but I'm going to enjoy this yacht while I plan my next big con...

Yours:
Mr. Camping

May 21 was NOT the Rapture: What will Harold Camping and his faithful followers do now?

As May 21 came and went without the world coming to an end, Harold Camping has yet to offer up a reason for why he was wrong... again.

In fact, the 89-year-old preacher is keeping out of sight in the wake of his failed prediction. The website to his Family Radio ministry hasn't even been updated, and still proclaims Judgment Day to be May 21, 2011.

"It's going to happen," Camping insisted repeatedly leading up to the fateful day.

Meanwhile, those who believed in his much-hyped prognostication -- many of whom gave up their homes and money to Camping -- are left wondering what to do next.

"I do not understand," said Robert Fitzpatrick, a 60-year-old MTA worker from Staten Island, said after the Rapture never arrived. "I do not understand why nothing has happened."
(...)
Some expect that Camping will eventually explain away his erroneous prediction, just as he did in 1994 (a mistake he waved off as a mere mathematical miscalculation).

Updated rapture date (i.e. 3rd guess) August 21st 2011... when will people know to guess for a day long after they will be dead? After all the Mayans went one step further and guessed a date long after their civilization ended, sheesh learn from the pro's.

Not that the Mayans ever alluded to any "end of the world", but that's another story. (Has there been a Skeptoid episode about that?)
