Earth Ends In 6 Days

The Sum of Awe · May 16, 2011

This will be my first end of the world hypothesis that I will live through... except for Y2K but I was asleep during that and I don't think my parents told me about it to get me worked up.

I'm so hyped! Even though I don't believe it, it's just going to be fun for me to live through an end of the world phenomena.

Anyone here believe it? If you do, what will you do if it doesn't happen?

Quagmire · May 16, 2011

I predict it actually will be the end of the world for roughly 150,000 people.
Answers.com - What is the world daily death rate

Thats actually kind of interesting since that almost exactly the number the Book of Revelation gives for Rapture candidates.

The Sum of Awe · May 16, 2011

Hehe, yes.

Klaufi_Wodensson · May 16, 2011

Well then technically, the prophecy is going to come through. So the man who formulated this prediction was never going to be wrong! That sly dog.

Quagmire · May 16, 2011

Well, the global population was a lot smaller when Revelation was written, although the death rate was probably a lot higher. :shrug:

Even if those stats are comparable, he was way off during the Black Death, both world wars, and the influenza epidemic in the early 20th cent (not to mention most epidemics and modern wars).

Not sure what the proposed end this Saturday is supposed to look like, but if the Rapture happens I'm going to loot every house in my neighborhood with a Jesus welcome mat, window decal, or address frame, hot wire the first mini van I see with a Christian bumper sticker, load everything into that and go live in one of the nicer left over churches in my town.

No joke.

The Sum of Awe · May 16, 2011

A lot of us here on the forum are pagans or atheists, so this forum still will stand

But yeah, I'd probably loot everything aswell if they have Christian things. It'll just be my dad and I, thus hot dogs every night

Hey, a way to make great money. Dress up as a skinny guy with a robe and a beard and tell everyone you're Jesus and you have come from Heaven to pick up the chosen ones, and make sure you tell them they need to pay money to enter heaven.

Put them in a car made to look like a magical chariot, make sure they can't see out the windows, only you can, and take them to a place where they pay to enter and run away.

Sounds like the Simpson's episode about the Leader.

Comicaze247 · May 16, 2011

I've seen billboards advertising the date. I'm thinking of getting one that says "I hope it really does end then, so that I don't have to pay for this!" and have a picture of me with a cheesy smile with one thumb up like a Mentos commercial.

Though given that it very likely won't happen, yeah, that leaves us with free stuff. But also, it provides a benefit to the entire world. We're way overpopulated. We're near 7 billion as it is. Fewer people means the planet has a bit longer.

Not only that, fewer people on teh intarwebz = faster intarwebz!

So, if the rapture did happen on the 21st...

would you guys convert to Christianity?

HiddenDjinn · May 17, 2011

Technically, I don't think a "rapture" will EVER happen.

lunakilo · May 17, 2011

I think it showa bad design that it is on a saturday.

Saturdays is for sleeping late and for recovering from hangovers.

Can't we postpone it to monday?

Madhuri · May 17, 2011

According to what I've heard people say, if you don't get taken away by Jesus on that day then even if you 'become a Christian' you won't be saved. So what would be the point?

The Sum of Awe · May 17, 2011

I would accept that Jesus exists and Christianity was right, though I would not worship God or Satan, only accept their existence.

angellous_evangellous · May 17, 2011

I certainly wouldn't.

waitasec · May 17, 2011

no.
i'm screwed either way...
seems like god is so insecure that he needs to threaten people to believe in him...so why would i want to believe in an insecure god...
and do this for an eternity..:bow:
that would be hell.

Been through many of an end of the world myself.

A few of them were so called Nostradamus predictions. Remember a teacher showing us a documentary, The Man Who Saw Tomorrow, in 4th grade just 3 years after it's release and there were plenty of fools running around then who believed this nonsense.

Eco-fantasy nonsense predictions, Y2K, Millennial end of the world predictions and I'm sure there are a few I've never heard of. Even the election of Bush, Jr. was considered an end of the world by some I know. Of course, they don't admit to that now.

After every end of the world I still get up the next morning, take a **** and flush that down with the prognostications.
