Or, is this the kind like in left behind where I turn around to ask one of my buddies for a beer and realize I'm the only one standing by the smoker? Little help here.

The second as I hear it. Basically all the believers will just be gone, leaving the rest of us here to, er, suffer?

Camping arrived at the date by the Good Book, which he says predicts that the Rapture is to occur 7,000 years after God’s first warning about the flood. Camping said the flood happened in 4990 B.C., on what would have been May 21 on today’s calendar.

One day equals 1,000 years to God, and God gave Noah one week of warning. And thus, there is a 7,000-year gap between Noah’s flood and the Rapture, bringing us to May 21, 2011.
With such groundbreaking historical and mathematical evidence to support his claim, who can deny it?

Tom_A_Hawk 05-18-2011 03:05 PM

There will be many false prohets claiming to be Christ or know of his return.
Let us all hope and pray that when the day comes we have been prepared to go with Him due to our belief and faith that He died for sins and that He prepared us a place in Heaven.


But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.—Matthew 24:36-44

Two nights ago we were driving down I-95 in Rhode Island on our way to the Indian casino in CT. My wife is driving, and says, "Hey, what's that, the circus?" I look up and see three or four RVs all covered in the same shrinkwrap design, looking like a traveling carnival. I read quickly as they go by and realize it's these crazy ****suckers, LOL. Told my wife how we should do as suggested here and find them the night before to see if they'll give their RVs to us. What would also be cool is to get someone to dress up like Jesus and have him walk into their campsite and say, "Dudes, you missed it, it was yesterday. Sorry."

Quote:

1. Japan: Earthquake, tsunami, nuclear disaster, all rolled into one. The March devastation that left thousands dead and missing was the trifecta of prophecies for many believers

But that "will look like a Sunday school picnic in comparison" to the end of times, Christian broadcaster Harold Camping, the force behind the May 21 prediction, reportedly said this week, despite the Bible's indisputable proclamation that "no one knows about that day or hour."

2. Haiti, Philippines, Costa Rica: Recent "earthquakes in various places," as noted in Matthew, foretell the obvious for some believers.

3. Iraq-Afghanistan: Never-ending Mideast conflict seems always to factor into calculating a Judgment Day prediction, starting with Israel. So there's plenty to choose from in the region to meet this biblical requirement: "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom."

4. Marriage equality: Some believers have suggested that the growing acceptance of same-sex marriage is a sign of immorality run amok, and that God would tolerate it only as a precursor to Judgment Day.

5. The Mississippi River: Recent flooding has prompted some speculation that pervasive crop destruction is sure to follow, resulting in the widespread famine that's scheduled to help usher in the Apocalypse.

We'll know soon enough, at least this time around.

The end of the world is nigh; 21 May, to be precise. That's the date when Harold Camping, a preacher from Oakland, California, is confidently predicting the Second Coming of the Lord. At about 6pm, he reckons 2 per cent of the world's population will be immediately "raptured" to Heaven; the rest of us will get sent straight to the Other Place.

I've always wondered if Athiest fully grasp that it can only go bad for them when this life is over.

Either:

Option A: They're right and we're all dead

Option B: They're wrong have made the biggest mistake possible which they will regret for eternity.


Having said that, somebody shouldn't believe in something simply for the sake of it sounding better. Obviously.

I wish I could believe what you believe but my mind is wired around reason and logic, my man. I was raised a Chrsitian and believed as a child, but then I studied history, science, ethics theories, sociology, etc.

This.

I wanna believe. I wanna be able to follow the bible blindly with out questioning the book, the religion, or the people preaching it. I wish i didn't have to question whether or not certain religions or people have ulterior motives or whether or not the "good Book" was written partly to control people.

I wanna believe that some powerful force has this great plan for me. I wanna believe that all I have to do is Love god and I'm going to the most perfect place man can dream of.

But I just can't. Not that I haven't tried. But every time I try, Logic and science rear their ugly heads.

Life would be so much simpler if i felt that my only reason for existence was to worship our lord.

Pascal's Wager is a terrible argument. Truth is not decided by picking what's behind door #3 like some game show.

Do you truly think that people should ignore their whole belief system - basically betray everthing that they know - because it will profit them in the afterlife? Are there actually people who do this?

Take religion out of the equation. You can believe in something without believing EVERY SINGLE THING man has told you to believe.

I gotta believe there is something. And a big part of what I believe comes from science and logic, not freakin religion.

No and I said as much in my post that obviously someone shouldn't believe in something simply for the sake of it sounding nice. Nobody is arguing that.

I was simply pointing out the reality or consequences of where they're at.

It's not like atheists have a choice.

I get it. I really do. I have a college buddy who is pretty much the same way. He needs the scientific proof right in front of him to believe in it. I suppose that's why it's called faith so what can you do.

But he loves you.

The greatest rant of all time. I miss George.

The end of the world is nigh; 21 May, to be precise. That's the date when Harold Camping, a preacher from Oakland, California, is confidently predicting the Second Coming of the Lord. At about 6pm, he reckons 2 per cent of the world's population will be immediately "raptured" to Heaven; the rest of us will get sent straight to the Other Place.
2% huh! Not looking good for Coogs under those guidelines!

It's not so much about scientific proof as it is about understanding the origins of superstitions, religion, morality, society and the facts of science we have at hand.

I still believe in a higher power deep down inside but that's the power of cognitive dissonance, isn't it?

Unlike Magic Users, Clerics, etc., Assassins are unable to cast spells.
