Lets say for example, a large asteroid hits the moon, displaces it's orbit, and it collides with earth. Isn't that a horrific thought?

Having seen a lot of science fiction movies I think it would be pretty epic to watch. Not horrific really. I might be jaded though.

You know what I felt when I read the article about this guy's story? I felt really sad for him. He's probably lived his whole life and all he ever wanted was to be raptured during his lifetime. He's 89 years and and he's come to the realization that no one's coming for him and he'll pass away like everyone else. I often pity the religious, but other than times like this they seem pretty happy.

I kind of feel sorry for the guy because when you believe something with so much conviction, it is VERY hard to realise the truth even if something like this happens, he has probably already found a way to rationalise it. Although on the other hand, he may not even believe it himself and just used the faith of others to create money (they get lots of money donated to his radio station).

Damn, isn't that...like inciting chaos or something! Making people think it's the end of the world...

Wait, what...?

Did I miss something?

The world ended. Didn't you get the memo?

The World of Warcraft?
Hooray!

It'd have been very convenient because it matched my post-birthday drunkness. So the end of the world would have found me sleeping the hangover.
If someone were to rapture me, he would have needed to bring a stretcher to carry me to heaven

Angel: (touches owl's shoulder) - Owl, is the rapture, you gotta go to Heaven.
owl: (covers his head with a pillow) - Leave me alone!

Good, so if I get accidentally raptured (there's no way that would happen to me legitimately), I'll meet you guys at the bar. I hope they have Guinness over there.

BTW, happy birthday

I'm not sure about the beer but I've heard they have a great wine!

Thanks!

Harold camping seems to have got it wrong.... again....

So much for the second coming of christ this evening.

America seems to have more than their fair share of these crazy idiots. How can such a developed nation have these backward people? (And I mean no offense to americans, I know most of you are perfectly normal). It seems strange that there are still people in such a developed country that can believe wholeheartedly that Jesus christ was going to prance down from heaven this evening and pull his believers up to heaven.


Crazy.

It's not fair to say that America is the only place with people like this. I can guarantee every country on earth has their share of extremists, crazies, or weirdos. It is not limited to just America. Case and point, (I mean NO OFFENSE) look at the Muslim/Islamic extremists.

*Most* Christians believe the Rapture to be, rather much by definition, unpredictable.
