Quote:
The 2011 end times prediction made by American Christian radio host Harold Camping stated that the Rapture (in a specific tradition of premillennial theology, the taking up into heaven of God's elect people) would take place on May 21, 2011[1][2] and that the end of the world would take place five months later on October 21, 2011.[3] Camping, president of the Family Radio Christian network, claimed the Bible as his source and said May 21 would be the date of the Rapture and the day of judgment "beyond the shadow of a doubt".[4] Camping suggested that it would occur at 6 p.m. local time, with the rapture sweeping the globe time zone by time zone,[5][6] while some of his supporters claimed that around 200 million people (approximately 3% of the world's population) would be raptured.

Do you reckon the Rapture will occur today?

As I am typing this at 8.50pm UK time, I reckon it's been delayed over here:) Fashionably late?

I reckon Harold Camping, who made it up, is being silly:)

I wanna know what Camping has to say about this now.....89 years old with millions of dollars. I don't think he cares either way. He either knew what he was doing or didnt know what he was doing (if that makes sense). Oh well; I get to live to see another day Smile

Apparently it is still coming http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/24/rapture-october-harold-camping-apocalypse

On a more positive note, the Rapture did inspire some amazing pictures: http://gizmodo.com/5804259/the-best-rapture-prank-pictures/gallery/ and even this amusing letter http://www.cracked.com/blog/a-letter-to-god-following-cancellation-rapture/?fb_ref=like&fb_source=home_oneline

But but but but but.

Does Jesus obey different times zones?

What will happen to Australia?
Maybe I could phone someone there to make sure that they are still around? If they are still around then they have passed the rapture and come out the other side?

Which will mean that we're all safe as well Smile

Anyway, i've got a follow up thread to see how you are all doing after the rapture.

Where are all the board's christians anyway? - have they been taken away?

aalpha? Avarice? Pleeeeeeeeease say you're still here Shocked


It's happened! they are all being far too quiet!
