The Tribulation is coming, but we don't know when. Could be tomorrow, could not be for another thousand years. We need to be prepared for it whenever it is though.

With what, buckets of sand we can plunge our heads into?  :wakka:  people would be much happier if they lived their lives and quit worrying about the end.

A bunch of morons just marched down my street, screaming about the rapture and singsonging barely coherent Bible verses at the top of thier lungs. I thought my town was safe from these goons :(

On the other hand, it was mildly entertaining.

They plastered my car with pamphlets while I was at the gym the other day. I turned their propaganda fliers into paper airplanes.

look on the bright side, on may 22, we will be able to point our collective finger at every bible thumper we can find and laugh at them hysterically.

Um, no. You can laugh at these morons, but most "Bible thumpers" out there are already laughing at these morons with you. These guys do not stand for the rest of the Christians out there.

im still gonna laugh at them for allowing such coolaid drinkers to soil their already stained rep.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Don't you guys get it!?

Christ was crucified on April 1, 33 A.D., exactly 722,500 days before May 21, 2011. That number, 722,500, is the square of 5 x 10 x 17. In Camping’s numerological system, 5 represents atonement, 10 means completeness and seventeen means heaven.

Saturday is scrap metal pickup for our town, this isn't going to interfere is it?  I've got a bunch of crap to throw out.

Joke's on him then. You're not supposed to carry on with April Fools pranks on the 2nd. :p

EDIT :

This is kind of old so you may have seen it but it's still pretty funny. A Christian group called Prank 3:16 did a rapture prank on this girl that was a little too obsessed with the Left Behind series. It's kind of messed up because they really freaked her out. Skip to 1:27 or so if you don't want to listen to host ham it up.

While that was funny, Christians just aren't evil enough to play practical jokes like that. :p They gave in far too quickly.

hmmm, I wonder what time zone it's supposed to start in? In my time zone, I've got just under 24 hour left...

Re: Read Quick! (Details inside!) AKA May 21, 2011.
cmon, there is a simple logical thing to do in these situations:

step 1: find someone who honestly thinks this is going to happen (may 21st, 2012, whatever)
step 2: bet them $20 it won't happen (the only hard part, since they have to agree)
step 3: ??????? (i'll give you a hint: nothing happens)
step 4: profit (quite literally)

what happens if your wrong and dont have the money to pay everyone? well it doesn't really matter now does it, you're all dead. and think about it, even if you yourself think it'll happen do this anyway, either you're right, or your slightly wounded ego can heal itself with a few $20s

I think it's supposed to start at 6 pm in each time zone. So the key is to make your own time zone that skips the 21st.

I've been seeing a billboard advertising this every day on the way to school for the last few months, but never really bothered to think anything of it until now (Actually, I still don't. I just find it humorous that the rest of the US is only noticing it now.). Although I do wonder what they think's going to happen to the ISS + STS-134 crews, not being on earth and all.

They said he'd come back and he did
I seen him walking down La Cienaga with a poor kid
He was on his way to the Beverly Center
To get a pair of new kicks, maybe save a few sinners
So we pulled up in the van
I threw a bag over his head, yeah we kidnapped that man
Took him to the house, broke out the lines
Then at gun point, made him make us some wine

No Jesus for you
No Jesus for you
Cuz he's over at my house
I said he's over at my house (in the basement)

In my world of sleepers, everything will be erased.
I'll be your religion, your only endless ideal.

One day left! How exciting!

It's supposed to start at 2AM on the 22nd New Zealand time, 6PM on the 21st PDT.

Just what, exactly, are us Koolaid-abstinent Christians supposed to do about people like this? He owns a freaking radio broadcasting company. He's a joke at best and a false prophet at worst. I can say that all I want. But it's still not gonna change what he's doing.
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky!

If we listen to the White Album enough we may find salvation is waiting there.

I survived dozens of judgment days so far, it kinda gets old once you're past #10. The one with Schwarzenegger is still the only one I liked..
I think The E has the right idea. Test how strong your faith is by letting me have your house, car, and dibs on that plasma TV. PS3 with GT5? Yea I'll take that too. I'll even sign I won't take possession for a week if you like, that way you won't spend the last day on the street. And since the end will supposedly come before I can take possession of your stuff, the joke will be on me, right? Any takers? This unlimited time offer stands for and and all Ends of the World in the future as well. Test the strength of your faith! No age limitations! Step right up!
