In case tomorrow (5-21-2011) really is the end

Well, Reverend Camping really put a damper on my "End of the World" party! I had a plan of drunken debauchery laid out for today and now that has come to pass and there is no Rapture and here I am at home stone sober!

On a serious note, I am doing the bike leg of the VIR Duathlon (five laps of the full course) with a friend of mine doing the two 5K runs. Lucky Dog, if you're free this evening, come on up and watch the Caz race bikes (pedal variety). Event starts at 6:00 PM (time for the Rapture) EDT with the first 5K run, followed by 16.3 miles on the bike and finishing with another 5K run.

Well, I guess it is now safe to remove my tin-foil helmet, put my Nut Jobs-Are-Us survival pack back into the bomb shelter, take off my anti-zombie bracelet, grab my ultra-light fishing pole and head down to the pond. Or maybe, the end of the world is brought about by a Blue Gill named Rex and his amazing anti-terrestrial ray gun. I think I will play it safe and just watch professional women's beach volley ball (Deb is at her sister's house...so there is no risk of her ripping my eyes out and beating me to death with them) and drink an ice cold RC Cola.

whew...that was a close one.

now just praying Nostradamus and the Mayans are wrong:monkies:
 
I've always wondered...

What does the good reverend say to his flock next week?

Did he misinterpret the chicken bones? Was the 'Supreme Being' pulling his leg?
 
OK OK it was just a dress rehearsal...

...but you all know how many Kiwis there are in here now, and come 2012 you'll just have to ask: are you all still here?
If it's quiet, you know you have less than 24 hours to get laid, and party, and do all That Stuff. :running:

We had him on TV1 (slow news week I suppose) and I'm hoping we can get him back to explain...
 
What gets me is the people that believed him, heard one story of some older fella spent his life savings of 160k to post billboards warning the rest of us..............sad
 
Matthew 24:36 -
No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

The chances of anyone predicting the "End of the World" are about on a par with me being kidnapped by -oh let us say- space hampsters, or eaten by a hexapuma from Sphinx... :engel016:
 
Truly....the end of the world has been postponed due to a scheduling conflict with the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs.
 
Dare we tread into that forbidden Thread World of (*GASP*!!) Religion!

Sure, why not....

Rapture Theology, from which this particular prediction of an "end time" is fairly recent, emerging in the U.S. in the early 1830's from certain Protestant sects.

If you asked George Washington about his thoughts on the "Rapture", he would have looked at you quizzically. Note that George was a good Christian man. His minister would undoubtedly thought you some sort of heretic or looney, and would have made some sort of donation to your long term care.

Cromwell, a couple of generations earlier, would no doubt have had you burned....

Rapture theologians take their inspiration from several verses of the Bible:

Revelation, 20:13

"And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works."


Luke 17:35


"Two women shall be grinding together, the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left."

This whole theory is called Dispensation, which refers to some sort of special "dispensation" for the chosen.

That's where this particular "end of the world" discussion comes from. Can't wait for the next one!!

Hey All,

Magoo that is funny! I know of a few people who would be absolutely devastated if they had to go through eternity without the Canucks winning a Cup! Not that they necessarily will this year but it is their best shot ever.

PS Hmm women grinding together - doesn't sound to Biblical to me!
