Badfan - I had a conversation kinda like that December 1999 with a guy I know. He was convinced the second coming was 1/1/2000. He wasn't happy when I told him he was off by a year, that the new millenium began 1/1/2001. He got really ticked when I asked "was that Central Daylight Time, MST, or Jerusalem time?" - He said "you're going to burn in hell". That may be, but not on 1/1/2001. | ||

I'm cornfused, do you get raptured to become a zombie? or is that ruptured? "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first" 1Thess4 Jesus, The Master Zombie, will come down and yell at the dead who will then crawl oout of the grave. | ||

So I got to be dead to hear Jesus so that I can become a zombie? think I'll just go for a ride | ||

Think of how much less traffic there'll be on the road for your Sunday ride this weekend! | ||

Hmm i wonder if the international dateline has any effect on this Armageddon?? | ||
| Hughlysses |
All you need to know is that Jesus himself said (paraphrasing here) nobody knows the day of the second coming except God himself. Amazing how these guys who claim to know every word of the Bible conveniently omit clear statements like that. | ||

So i read into this a little and judgment day is to begin 7,000 years after the great Flood so by this logic the great flood would have occurred @ 5000 BC. As it turns out these are the same wingdings that think the earth is only 10,000 years old. All i can say is I'm with science on this one the Earth is older than 10,000 years and we did not invent the dinosaurs. As for true Armageddon only God knows when that will be so if he want's it to be Saturday then it will be but I see no use in trying to predict what God will do. | ||

It is truly sad how the disrespectful anti-Christian bigotry always seems to infect an otherwise lighthearted thread. I guess it helps some feel better about themselves to insult the faith of so many. If no offense was intended, then I guess it would be a case of incredibly poor manners. We ought to do better. | ||

"the Earth is older than 10,000 years and we did not invent the dinosaurs" Yes, it was 10 million years old, and Slartibartfast buried the dinosaur bones before creating all those interesting squiggly parts of Norway. Unfortunately, he was reassigned to Africa for the construction of Earth 2, and was told that similar geography there was just not "equatorial" enough. | ||

I'm getting really sick of the fear mongering that many of these "dooms dayers" bring about. Have you any idea how easy it is to make someone paranoid over stupid crap like Y2K, 6/6/06, 2012, and now this? I'm not talking about religion... just fear mongering. I don't care what religion you are, if the world ends, be prepared spiritually and just enjoy life. You won't care much after the fallout anyhow. I hate to use my own mother as an example but when she gets word of stuff like this it really...really gets to her sometimes. And she NEVER shuts up about it. No amount of logic, reassurance or spiritual direction can quell her nervous antics. From my own personal standpoint... I don't read Revelations. I don't much care how the world will end. I know where I am going if/when something like that were to ever happen. I don't see the point in worrying about the end of days and ruining the present. *sigh* Other than that... I am looking forward to 2012. From an astronomy standpoint... it's freakin cool. | ||

Get off your high horse, Blake. Anyone who thinks the Flintstones is a documentary deserves ridicule in this modern era. | ||

>>>>>I am looking forward to 2012. From an astronomy standpoint... it's freakin cool. I absolutely agree the Sun should be quite active as it is due to reverse polarity that year. The resulting radiation should provide quite a display of Northern Lights. | ||

The world has already ended. It was destroyed to make room for a hyperspace bypass about 2000 years after one man was nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be if we would all be nice to each other for a change. It was immediately after a little girl discovered the ultimate question to the ultimate answer, but before she could tell anyone about it. Needless to say, the mice were not pleased. I like this thread. (Message edited by hootowl on May 18, 2011) | ||

It shows up on the Darwin Awards, but this is a true story (I remember when this happened) with a couple of changes - The "fishing buddies" were actually young women that the 'lawyer' wasn't married to....not sure about the ministry part. Apparently just before the 'incident' one of the 'fishing buddies' asked him whether cheating on his wife was OK - he got his answer. Don't be blasphemin' - never a good idea.... Darwin Award Candidate January 1999 Don't ask God to prove Himself, He just might . . . A lawyer and two of his buddies were fishing on Caddo Lake in Texas. A lightening storm hit the lake and most of the fishermen immediately headed for the shore. But not our friend the lawyer. He was alone on the rear of his aluminum bass boat and his buddies were in the front. This gentleman stood up, spread his arms wide (crucifixion style) and shouted: "HERE I AM LORD, LET ME HAVE IT!" Needless to say, God delivered (well, wouldn't you?). The other two passengers on the boat survived and are said to have immediately joined the Ministry. | ||

Whil;e we are at it.... In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. | ||

Does anyone know what time the world is gonna end on 5/21? I wanna eat enough ice cream birthday cake from DQ to pass out right before it ends. During the Season finale of SNL. Someone said recently: I had a dream a few months ago, in that dream I was told ... that I was NOT to be picked. Then they said: Life will go on after the rapture. It will just suk more. | ||

Jaime, >>> Get off your high horse, Blake. Anyone who thinks the Flintstones is a documentary deserves ridicule in this modern era. You're way off base. Characterizing Christianity as a "zombie" belief is rude at best, disdainful and disrespectful of Christians at worst. Ridiculing others for their beliefs is incredibly intolerant and hateful. Attack the ideas, not the people. Oppose falsehood by sharing truth. | ||

Andy (Drkside), >>> In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. Too true. And very funny.  | ||

what would be funny is...the people left behind.... will loose their ability to communicate. The first few minutes will be like ... "WOW...what the..." then ZAP! before you know it...you won't even be able to speak words let alone type them. You will forget EVERYTHING. I mean E V E R Y T H I N G. We all will be worse off than a bunch of retarded monkeys flying a plane. Good luck to you all. (no one was hurt during the typing of this post) | ||

21st eh? Shit.....still too far off, I will have to finish this paperwork! I can get away with being a day or so behind, but two or three will never do! | ||

Come on Blake, these rapture folks are kooks and are asking to be ridiculed. If rapture actually happens on Saturday feel free to make all sort of fun of me  Won't matter much of course. They are entitled to believe want they want but it is sorta like believing and world is flat. People are gonna make fun of you. Can't be helped. | ||

@ Blake, I too like that quote and it is from a book by Douglas Adams. If you have not read the entire Hitchhikers Guide series you should. It can be found @ Barnes and Nobles all wrapped in one fake leather cored book for about $20 bucks. Which is much less than i spent buying them one by one. |
