Did anyone else read the website? They predict a global earthquake at 6:00 PM. I'll pause here while you consider the problem with that statement.
I'm not saying any of this is crazy, but I am going to just leave this here:
judgementday2011.com wrote:
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.”

Scythican:
The two is where your suspension of disbelief kicks in? Really?
I'm still trying to figure out how 5 is atonement, 10 is completeness, and so on.
Is 7 sinful? Is 1 an forbidden apple? Is 8675309 Jenny? What metric are they using to build their initial premise?

That's the greatest picture ever. I want a poster of that to put in my game room. Hell, I want it embroidered onto a blanket for my bed.

Crap, tonight is my last night at work for the military, as a cop. Isn't that some movie cliche where the bad stuff happens to the cop right before he's done? I swear if it is today I am going to be miffed...
But I voted it's not happening, though if it's zombies at least I have to applaud the CDC for their warning.
Though if it waits till I get off work, I won't feel so paranoid for all the guns and ammo, but the 1k rounds of 5.56 and 500rnds of 9mm I ordered a few days didn't show up in the mail yet...crap.

It could be tomorrow, it could be in 34 seconds, it could be in 34 years, it could be in 34 Centuries.... NO ONE KNOWS....
Scripture says no one knows (Matthew 24:36, 'Of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my father only.'), he is using, imo, some complicated math formula based on speculation...
If it happens tomorrow it happens, ill be going up. (inc bashes on my beliefs!).

I'm going out drinking though this Saturday. You might have given me a drink to order due to topical relevance. I still can't wait to try out the line, "So it looks like we didn't get Raptured. Want to go back to my place and then we find Heaven ourselves?"
