Is for the Farmers in my area; hasn't stopped raining since the snow melted. All of them are about two months behind

Living in the tropics helps me to desensitise to the rain. What you have to look out for is the delicious yet stomach ache inducing street food. That's demonic.

The fire and brimstone is due in October. And then again, we always have Plan B for dealing with daemonic incursions.

Well if it stops the missionaries I'm game.

Edit: Heard of that story a while ago. Seems interesting.

I clicked yes. That way if it DOES happen, when we are all standing in line in the afterlife (Yes I imagine everyone here will be in the same part of the line, its mental picture OKAY) I can laugh at all of you. HA! Looks you were all wrong! HAHAH!!

Just like that

You do know, not all Christians are the same......

What branch of Christianity is this person belonging too? (I would imagine its one, he made up himself...)

Meh, I wouldn't be up there with you guys. I'll be cast into the pits of hell for being a heathen. I'll be having a nice sauna while hanging out with rockstars and hot chicks.

I have decided to take this whole idiotic fethstorm as a joke, better that than a trajedy.

Have these guys actually read any of Bible before they took to the streets with placards and preductions?

36“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

42“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.



Emphasis on underlined text.

So Jesus doesn't know when the rapture is going to happen, but Pastor Stetson W. Nutberger does?
Ok. I might have a small theological problem with that.

Actually I have a big problem with that, not in a doctrinal rant way but in a complete puzzlement way. How can these people read the solution they have with the information available, I really dont understand why this sort of transparently avoidable internal error creeps along so often. You would have thought that to any professing Christian any direct unambiguous quote from Jesus would be something you could bank on.

'Christianity 0'? Well I ain't fooled, recount please.
'Atheist ?' indeed. However when the real rapture occurs it will change to 'Atheists !!!'

I find it funny when Christians claim to know the supernatural better than Jesus.

Orlanth, good 'un.

Yeah, Orlanth pretty much nailed it.

Happy apocalypse, everyone. While I don't think it will be the Second Coming of Christ, I'm not ruling out Chthulhu.

It's the best sort of Christianity.

If you are thinking of having a go yourself, "Christian Cults Made Simple" or " Loony Jesus Fringe for Dummies" are both useful guides for getting started.
Your common or garden Christians are prolly not going to be considered good enough for the Rapture by these dudes. But I always thought it was the Big Beardy Guy in the clouds call.

Wonder if you get a formal invite card.
Picture of a happy chap glass of wine in hand, beautiful houri on his knee.



About to be clobbered with the bottle.
Hope mine is in the post

So if we all die and go to hell do you think I would have a chance to play satan in a game of 40k. His chaos daemons are going DOWN!!!!

As a Necron player, I've been playing 40k in hell for several years now.

Don't be silly! Of course the Rapture didn't happen in Australia, God probably passed them over as they're all convicts sinners anyway...

*Ducks*

Even Harold Camping had a previous prediction of the Return of Jesus for the Rapture that was incorrect due to a mathematical error – when his September 1994 date came and went without incident. What makes him so sure that this year, this date of May 21 2011, will in fact be the date of the Rapture?

1. The number 5 equals “atonement”, the number 10 equals “completeness”, and the number 17 equals “heaven”.
2. Christ hung on the cross on April 1, 33 AD. The time between April 1, 33 AD and April 1, 2011 is 1,978 years.
3. If 1,978 is multiplied by 365.2422 days (the number of days in a solar year), the result is 722,449.
4. The time between April 1 and May 21 is 51 days.
5. 51 + 722,449 = 722,500.
6. (5 × 10 × 17)2 or (atonement × completeness × heaven)2 also equals 722,500.

Thus, Camping concludes that 5 × 10 × 17 is telling us a “story from the time Christ made payment for our sins until we’re completely saved.”

I guess he forgot to carry the 666...

Aye, as have I the tau player. Perhaps the rapture was the announcement of the nercon codex followed by the tau codex? The age of man would end, I mean imperium.

That's really dark. I have no love for fundamentalists or religion, but I don't wish for anyone to kill themselves.

I'd much rather they just accept reason and logic. Or at least not so obviously contradict the very book they hold in such regard.

Severe wildfires
Severe floods
England retain the Ashes
GW pee on Aus from a great height

now God gives OZ the clod shoulder treatment...

Is there no end to the Antipodean suffering?

Maybe judgement day has already passed and that's the start of the thousand years of torment that are supposed to happen?

Easier to teach a fish to ride a bicycle than to get some people to even consider accepting reason and logic.
Not saying this sort should off themselves...but I'd be lying if I said I'd be upset if the congregation of WBC ( or the like) all joined hands and jumped off a cliff.

I now have a desperate longing to see a fish riding a bicycle.

I have seen one skate.

/Groan.

Chibi, you're the greatest.

At 6:00, I will be seeing Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End.

Irony? Ah Feth yes.

I've been waiting all day today, naked, up on the roof of my house, and NOTHING, WTF???

Don't get me wrong; some people totally deserve the worst they can get. There's a special place in (metaphorical) Hell carved out for those donkey-caves, but at the same time, the idea of them killing themselves doesn't make me happy. It only makes me wish that we could be as far enlightened as a species I like to pretend we are.

Real reason the rapture didn't happen today, guys

its 12am here and im still here

I was planning on tying strings around people's ankles and cart them around like balloons

alas...no flying. and I have a surplus of string

on a positive note, my cat is happy

6:00 PM has come and gone in Israel. That's where I figure the festivities would have started.

Awesome pic.


SOOO 'zeitgeist'...

If I get raptured at six PM and wind up in heaven. I will be so pissed!

All my lifes work to go to Asgard ruined!!! Ruined!!!

7:34pm here, and after a Dr Who episode that I didn't quite manage to 'like' Rapture still has not occurred.

Orlanth nailed what I was going to say...nobody will ever know when the Rapture will occur, if it ever does.

If it does, we won't know.

Rapture will be any time between now and the end of the world.

Now it won't happen.
