Title: The End of the World as We Know It
Post by: djkimmel on May 21, 2011, 02:03:08 PM
As some of you probably know, so guy has said the world will end today or 200 million souls will be raptured at 6pm in each time zone.

Is this evidence is has begun - from a Huffpost commenter: "I think it's beginning! Ten minutes ago there was a group of people waiting at the bus stop outside my house. Now, they're all gone!"

So far, 6pm has passed in several time zones with no (other) obvious signs of the end... there is a hotline to call if you have concerns, questions or see signs it has begun.

There is a bright ball of fire in the sky that I don't remember seeing before. I think this is it.

we can't even predict the weather.... predicting the rapture was a bit overzealous. baby steps.

And here I thought I was going to get out of work tomorrow. Just my luck! Although the Tigers won today so maybe the end is near?

 This is what I want to know? What sort of fish story can I make up, to get hundreds of people too send me their lifesavings. Maybe' ya that's it. I will tell them that all the fish in the sea are going to die next Tuesday and if I get all of their savings and their retirement money. I will give them a secret lure and they can catch as many fish as they want before the fish Apocalypse.

I was just going to say that this person who tries to predict when the saints of God will be Raptured out of this world, has not read his Bible very well, because its says, No ones knows the hour nor the day when the Son of man cometh. And when it does happen, I will be gone!!
