Your first link is missing a '.', but I don't think that matters at all now.

Hm, I haven't read that thread to be honest, but I can't resist to add a :

LOL @ Religion

and

Double-LOL @ all the Semi-Prophets, that are now hopefully hanging with a rope around the neck from the roof ceiling because they were wrong. Idiots !     :banghead:  Welcome to the 21st century

Better luck next year, 21.12.2012 is coming.  :lol:

By chance, I was actually in church when 6:00 rolled around.  Our priest made a few cracks about being in the right place. :p

So the take-away from all this as far as I'm concerned is this: the Bible's overt statement that "no man knows the day or hour" totally trumps the guesstimated historical numerology nonsense this guy was extrapolating from. Big surprise there.

Mark my words though - every single one of you reading this has a birthday this year; the Bible guarantees it!

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Reminds me of why Pratchett always called in the Aprocrylypse, because it's pretty apocryphal ;)

My plans to go out with When The Man Comes Around playing loud enough to piss off the neighbors have been foiled by a lack of Rapturing.

Heh.. both their websites,

www.familyradio.com

www.wecanknow.com

are both down.

The latter is back up but slow.  I'm guessing that they're getting bombarded by traffic from people looking for a chuckle and people who were expecting to be raptured already.

I had a great day and didn't see any rapturing going on. Oh well there's always the next apocalypse :)

As funny as it is that his prediction was false.. I'm actually pretty angry at him as I read the articles around the web. Stories of families with kids who gave up everything with this day in mind are left with nothing.

yeah, I know some of you want to laugh at those people for being stupid (which I'm not arguing their intelligence on the matter), however it downright pisses me off that the lives these innocent kids are stuck with is bottom of the heap...

I'm wondering if they can bring a class action suit against the guy who claimed the world would end.

Rather just have him lynched.

Oh right I'm still here, so there must be a moral to all this.

Drugs can make people do crazy things...or something like that.

I think it really shows the truth about most "Christians" today. They are not grounded in anything, grab on to the latest fad and know little to nothing about the Bible or why they claim to be a Christian other than they believe in God.

Actually reading their Bible would have told them that this prediction was all nonsense. Without that knowledge, they really are like sheep.

It's true that it places some of these peoples lives in very bad places... which is unfortunate. I feel bad in way. But I'm not sure how to express how I feel about that situation. The parents willingly placed their family in this situation, based on the ravings of one man/a small group, who they strongly believed in... but it all turned out to be false to the surprise of very few. In my view it's irresponsibility...but I'm sure they see it differently.
