Rapture September 23, 2015. You Have Been Warned. (Again)

[Blackleaf]

Apocalyptic predictions are my favorite Christian nonsense -- they're always made by the ones so sure that the bible is literally true... and they always cheerily ignore Matthew 24:36 ("But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only").  Not so literally true, apparently.

I don't think they even believe what they're saying. They do it to sell books and get free publicity.

They get publicity for a while, but they end up looking like idiots.  It's really not much of a win.  And if you ever did predict the apocalypse and get it right, what good does that do you?  There you are with a shit pot full of money and fame, standing in the middle of an apocalypse.

Best to go for short term profits ... I don't think the Bible writers are still getting residuals, since "you can't take it with you".

The important thing is, what are people wearing to this late Autumn Rapture?

[Baruch]

Don't make fun of stylish women or metrosexuals ... or you will only arrive in sack-cloth and ashes.

The wait is killing me...

Funny little meat sacks, thinking the Universe revolves around their lives. If Earth poofed out of existence there would be so little caring elsewhere.

[Baruch]

Well, life is like a box of chocolates ... you never know what you are going to get ;-)  Diversify your ability to survive, and then you will have better means to deal with whatever comes.  But for me, being a prepper is going too far.

Any one else feel like the apocalypses will be brought on because of Christians and their stupidity? If there is any punishment to be incurred I feel like it will be the christians bringing it too us. For their bigotry and other crimes against humanity.

If they get raptured it will be a relief not some kind of punishment.

Btw, the world was supposed to have suffered a gigantic financial collapse today. So things aren't looking good for the rapture.

The Bush family and their friends have been showing their determination to make manifest their sick fantasies since the late 19th Century. They helped the Remingtons whitewash their illegal sales of guns to unstable countries, thus precipitating WWI.

It seems like every year some jackass promises that I don't have to do my Christmas shopping this year and I think, 'This one seems legit!' and then every year I'm doing it all at the last minute.  The funny thing is that since my daughter was born the end of the world was supposed to be on her birthday, I think, 3 times.  I remember 2 for sure.  There was Harold Camping's prediction for October 21, and the LHC was set to start October 21, creating micro black holes that would totally suck.  I'm thinking there was a third one.

I really miss the 2012 doomsday prophets.  They all fizzled out as 2012 actually approached and it came time to nut up or shut up.  They apparently chose the latter.  But they were such glorious nutjobs!  I remember reading one post from someone saying that we could stop the coming apocalypse if we brought together all 13 crystal skulls in the right place at the right time.  I responded asking where the number "13" came from since far fewer such skulls had ever been found, most were proved forgeries, the one that wasn't proved was almost certainly a forgery and nowhere in any history ever is the number 13 mentioned except in that idiotic post.  Of course, thinking about that would have shattered the fantasy about crystals and scary things and magic, so I assume the OP skipped over the post so as to avoid such thought because I never got a reply, that I know of.  So many crazy theories of what would destroy us all and what magical nonsense we could do to avoid it.  But as the time approached, all the talk just vanished.  Of course, I also stopped hanging out in forums filled with nutjobs about that time.  I just couldn't take the infantile magical thinking any more.
