Christ is coming yet again. This time it's May 21,2011 and the word is spreading here and here is the math that proves it. Well, well, which is it, are the idiots the ones who deny the evidence or believes it? The answer will be known to theists on May 22, 2011, when the wait will start anew again. Are there any theists here, who want to go on the record and say they believe this? I won't hold my breath waiting to hear from any to say so. SS

Christ comes more than a sailor in a whorehouse.
Great, can't wait to see this one stuck on my in-laws refrigerator. They love to put "Christ Is Coming" stories on the fridge....kinda like a kindergartners artwork. |

As a Christian theist I would say that Harold Camping needs to go back and read his Bible. Maybe start with 1 Thessalonians 5 and anybody who is parroting his nonsense out to do the same. |

Here we go again, and this guy's a recap.... 
"Nothing lasts forever." I think just about everyone would agree with that. Whether it's a mountain, a mole-hill, a distant star or the Twinky that's been lodged in the back-seat of your dad's Buick since 1967, all things eventually fade and are no more. As impermanent beings, we know and ungracefully accept this fact. One day, the end will come for our friends, our family, our neighbors, our IRS auditors, and even for ourselves. Yes, even the world itself will one day stop spinning on its familiar axis and its property value on the open market will plummet.
The question is, "When?"
That's a toughie for a lot of people. On the one hand, according to science, our planet has a good five billion years before the warrantee on our sun runs out. At which point, it will expand to a Red Giant, engulfing Earth and the other inner planets and become far more cost-effective to replace than repair. Especially when one considers that the entire Universe only has a scant ohh, fifteen, sixteen trillion years to expand beyond all conceivable reason before it runs out of steam and starts collapsing back in on itself. Much like the current US economy.
Science also has shown us that the formation of the Universe was a messy business that left quite a bit of litter behind in the form of giant ice balls and big, nasty rocks; many of which have the unfortunate habit of crashing into our planet uninvited and at highly inconvenient times. A fact the dinosaurs know about only too well... or would have, if there were any still alive... and had brains larger than a throat lozenge... which they're not and they didn't... so, forget I even brought it up. Anyway, the point is, however long our planet has, we as a species might get dusted as early as tomorrow afternoon - somewhere around tea time - should a large enough chunk of space litter choose that moment to come barging rudely into our atmosphere.
On the other hand, there's God's Wrath: In the theory favored by those whose idea of the Universe is a small, cramped space consisting primarily of ghosties and ghoulies and long-leggedy beasties and things that go bump in the night, the world ought to be coming to a screeching halt any day now. So imminent is the End, in fact, that you may not even get to finish reading this sentence before being either whisked away to glamorous Paradise or plunged into Eternal Damnation. Assuming you're still with me, let me make clear that the supporters of this concept are all absolutely sure that Armageddon is at hand and that we are living in the very Last Days. The signs are all there, they say, the omens and portents are in place, the numbers are right and all the USDA prime grade prophecies are coming true. No doubt about it, the End is seriously nigh. So, ha-ha to everyone who just had their car washed.
The trouble with this theory is that it's been espoused many, many, many times before. Near-countless times before. Over thousands of years. By millions of people. Ad nauseum. And yet, to state the thuddingly obvious, they've all been wrong. However widespread the belief, however devout the believer, however precise the calculations, however unshakable the certainty, the promise of Doomsday's arrival has remained stubbornly unfulfilled. And yet, here we are in the dim, dun dawn of the 21st century, going at it again like post-modernist Chicken Littles. And if anything, cock-a-doofus-dooming with greater gusto than ever before.
The why, the what, the where, the when, the who and the how is what this site is all about. This peculiar obsession humans have for watching the clock when we should be enjoying the party has been going on for millennia. And despite an utterly abysmal historical record of failure upon failure and reality's willful refusal to call time-out, it's one that never seems to lose its dubious charm or go mercifully away.
The following pages contain the most comprehensive collection of apocalyptic prophecies I could compile. Plus, discussion about the various types of Doomsday warnings and obsessions, quirks of the calendar, predictions of apocalypse from around the world and assorted other related stuff. So, if you think you have time to look them over before the Big One hits, the UV rays fry you, the nuclear winter freezes you, the Rapture captures you, the aliens abduct you, the earth opens up to swallow you, the black helicopters come to get you or the dreaded Satanic computer pixies plant a bar code in your forehead and plunge the world into commie-pinko conspiracy chaos, then, by all means, enjoy!

Another doomsday walloper joins the less-than-exalted ranks of the profoundly misaligned. Past centuries have been full of them, many of them repeat offenders expert in the art of The Lame Excuse.
I guess we'll know come next May, although I'll probably space it out and have to be reminded that Christ is kickin' ass & takin' names.

I should start a website, make it very pious and fundie friendly... I'll target all the people who believe this with an offer to look after their friends and family who will not make it in the first round of the rapture. It would appeal to them to have somebody left behind who would try and help the people they care about make it through the tribulations and trials, right?
Just create a durable power of attorney that goes into effect on the date in question. Mail it to me. I'll make sure your estate is used to help those left behind!

What about their pets? God doesn't allow animals in Heaven don't you know. Who's going to brush fluffy's fur or put out the kibbles & bits? Not to worry! That no longer is a concern for the righteous. Not since a creation of post rapture pet care was started.

The really best part is there is no charge! It's totally free, with a small donation. God knows the best scams are free. It really should be called a Love Offering, with Theists being full of it, the bountiful love of Jesus. SS |
