I will bet £100 pounds that 'The Rapture' will never happen. This bet is good for the rest of my life. Any takers?

I wonder how many people put their pets into that kennels that was offering to look after your pets after the Rapture.

I'm writing a load of fiction. My latest story starts here... This is the index of all the stories...

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

Heathen indeed. Some Christian beliefs state that you wait at the gates to learn weather or not you goto heaven. SO! When your holding your ticket and waiting in line Ill be mocking you.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Not sure how accurate this is, but I now hear that the folks at "Family Radio" are backpedaling a bit,stating that today begins a "period of judgment" counting down to the Rapture.

Frazzled ascends to the heavens in a chariot of fire every Saturday. He's not going to be a good indicator of whether or not the rapture has taken place.

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...

Doesn't it say in the bible that the rapture will happen when no man can predict our destruction?

How does Camping know that Jesus was crucified on April Fool's Day?

Was it a Pilate prank that went horribly wrong?

Does he take into account historical adjustments to the calendar?
Shoot that might mean that it is in 11 days time. or was it 11 days ago and we missed it?

Oh the calculations are based on the Pacific Time Zone? I didn't know that. Somebody should tell the other side of the world. It is already Sunday the 22nd in a lot of places. It just turned 6:03 here.
