Tee2072 · 21/05/2011 12:12

O shite , and I was so looking forward to waving bye-bye to the born agains and creationists not to mention other smug, self-satisfied believers of claptrap that I have the misfortune to be acquainted with.

But at least I've stockpiled enough booze to guarantee more than a few rapturous moments chez Izzy before Armageddon.

The guy perpetrating this notion is so idiotic, he doesn't understand the concept of time zones in that 6pm in one place is not the same across the world. Also, he believes the Noah story!

StealthPolarBear · 21/05/2011 14:46

someone explain this rapture stuff to me?
I always thought it was a blondie song...very catchy

Tee2072 · 21/05/2011 16:30

Basically, if you're in with god, i.e. Christian (according to the Christians who believe in the rapture) you'll be taken straight up to Heaven. Alive.

The rest of us will live in hell on earth.

Personally, if Robert A Heinlein is even a little bit right about how Heaven is, I'll take hell any day.

tethersend · 21/05/2011 16:35

If this is true, you lot are going to be so embarrassed.

StealthPolarBear · 21/05/2011 16:36

I'll take my chances :o
And we'll have more important things to worry about - like fighting zombies - to worry about our credibility

fatlazymummy · 21/05/2011 19:14

It's all a load of old cobblers isn't it? I wonder what excuses the guy will make when the world is still here tomorrow?

Tee2072 · 21/05/2011 19:27

Same as he made last time; that he miscalculated.

fedupofnamechanging · 21/05/2011 19:38

I didn't even know until I read MN. If someone had told me I wouldn't have bothered going on a diet.

JustKeepSwimming · 21/05/2011 19:44

I wonder if he & his followers truly believe, i mean have they got any appointments in their diaries after today? Have they cancelled their direct debits & splashed out with their remaining pennies?

Tee2072 · 21/05/2011 20:10

A lot of them have given him everything, JustKeepSwimming. They really do believe him!

JustKeepSwimming · 21/05/2011 20:41

So sad Tee (& gullible) - was reading on the DM site (i know i know) that people are worried about the rapture-believers (not sure what to call them?) being depressed when they realise it really isn't happening.

What will the leader say tomorrow??

theanonamouse · 21/05/2011 21:06

looks pretty normal and boring in my cul de sac lol

Miggsie · 21/05/2011 22:04

It was the end of the world today?

Oh, I missed it.

IreneHeron · 21/05/2011 22:17

I think for the sinners like me we've got until 21st October before the world starts ending, the godly ones should be streaking their way up into the clouds by now. My baby is due endish of Oct, so am hoping traffic will be ok on the way to the hospital and not too many earthquakes and hurricanes. Have been looking for piles of clothes around as could do with some new, but then again evangelicals aren't known to have great fashion sense.

IhateMarlo · 21/05/2011 22:22

Crap Crap Crap Crap, I was relying on the rapture to get me out od cooking dinner for many many people tomorrow.
Guess I better go shopping???.

Serious though what?s their excuse for it Not happening?????
