Damn. Why can't I find any of these people near me? I mean, it should be possible to convince them to hand over their worldly posessions.....

Except for us Christians, of course. Once the Rapture happens we have unlimited time for eternity! :p

Seriously, though, I don't believe it'll happen anywhere near that soon. Theories like this pop up among Christians all the time. It's just hysteria.

Can we keep this thread going until at least May 22nd so we can have a look at the page after the world is supposed to have ended... and laugh.

There was a website that I found once (Might have been Wikipedia or Wikipedia linked) that had a listing of all of the best known dates for the end of the world. There's hundreds or thousands of dates for the end of the world stretching back a long time.

Same people. I enjoy how they answer the Q&A on this one... "How do you know it will happen on May 21, 2011?"... "Because it is fact."

These kind of things will always continue, such people promising Christians about Rapture, and telling them not to be involved, telling them to render unto Caesar, and not worry.

While throughout history Christians were among the most prominent to be attacked and imprisoned, and the whole current Rapture idea is only, what, 150 years old? I sure never learned anything about a pre-judgment Rapture; Heck the only thing that comes close is that the world will be reshapen -after- everything went to hell, not on a sunny day just before the bad guy takes charge of the entire world.

This is why I dislike the influence of some churches, of what they have become, and over what they want their flocks to believe. Sitting around waiting to get teleported out instead of encouraging to go out, protest, that sort of thing.
I'm all about getting the most out of games, so whenever I discover something very strange or push the limits, I upload them here:

I met these people here in Denmark. They're close-minded and ignorant about science.

www.wecantknow.com -- It's a site dedicated to the backpeddling that these people will be doing when the rapture doesn't come.

But are they willing to part with their worldly posessions? That's what I want to know.

Do you really want that big a pile of Bibles, crucifixes, and Christian-themed junk merchendise?

There must be something in there that would net a profit when pawned......

I've read as many of the FAQs on their site that I can find.. and they

A: Never actually answer the question.

or

B: Base answers on unprovable "fact". (Somehow we learned exactly the year of Noah's flood and exactly the year the Earth was created.)

My thought as well. I'd love to get something in writing about how they'll deed all their assets to me on May 22 in return for a $3,000 advertising grant today.
