THE END OF THE WORLD THREAD #3,567

[Falconer02]

I'm getting really annoyed by all the people hoping/speculating that the world is going to end soon. Do you know how depressing that sounds? And, of course, I need to point a finger at the religious out there because 99% of the posts with these threads contain religious aspects. My bro sent me a message tonight and I'm not sure where he got it from, but it had me laughing so I thought I'd share it here-

"The rapture (and similar things in non-christian religions) is like the saddest thing ever in christian religion. It's like the biblical version of that strange boy everyone knew back in school who lied about an uncle who was an ex navy seal and worked for Nintendo, and when you'd poke fun at him for his obvious lies, he'd tell you that his uncle would bring him the 'Super Nintendo II' with all the awesome games in the coming weekend and then you're gonna be sorry you ever poked fun at him. That's basically the rapture for these nutcases. I'm sorry dudes, Jesus wont show up and save you from all these smug normal people who enjoyed their lives while they where living."

"Macho Man Randy Savage died for our sins. It is only through his benevolent sacrifice that the judgement day has been postponed. Thank you Macho Man, thank you for saving us all."

Really think about the above. I don't know about all of you wishing the world will end, but do us realistic people a favor and be quiet about it. No reasonable person wants to hear your depressing proofless garbage. If you're going to say you know the precise date, you're an idiot and a false prophet. If you say you don't know and/or your religion states that the date is unknown, why even bring it up?  Do you people get off on cursing and condeming people? Oh, you think you're warning them? You're not-- it's just a fear tactic to subscribe someone to your beliefs and you're absurdly naive to realize it. That's sad to even bring up if you've really got nothing to work with but irrational fears.  So let's all enjoy our saturday together. Go out, enjoy the weather if it's nice, try to make a positive difference, and forget about all the earthquakes brewing in the Pacific- http://i.imgur.com/KbM01.png

Amen! Amen!   That's about as religious as I am.

Good post and I'll still be here and see all you Bible folks tomorrow.  I think you are all going to miss your flight.

Keep laughing.  We will see who laughs last.  Watch for me, I'll be the one waving bye.  Do wish you would want to go to, too.  I hope the Macho Man had Jesus in his heart, if not, sounds like you will get a chance to meet your idol.

lol  Okay, I'll give you $10,000 today if you give me $10,000 plus 100 percent interest when you're still here tomorrow.   

And Falconer...as the bumper sticker says, "Come the Rapture!...We'll have the earth to ourselves"

Really?? REALLY???  (face-palm)

Only God can predict when the world will end. It could end tomorrow or in 2012. Does it really matter when the world will end? None of us have the power to stop it anyways. So, just be thankful for each day that you wake up to see another day.

still here

Uh, why do you punctuate such a statement with a suggestion of 2012?  That makes me think you're one of those mushy believers whose life does not reflect a true belief at all.  Otherwise you'd know that ancient Mayan superstition has absolutely nothing to do with your ancient Christian superstition.

This is all  . Quit being followers and be a leader. Some people are so gullible. I will believe it when I see it. You either be a part of the problem or be a part of the solution.

The Super Nintendo 2 does not exist. And your uncle isn't an ex-navy seal who works for Nintendo. Seriously though, your pompous and antagonizing text here just reinforces what I said so thx for showing the proof in the pudding 

Do wish you would want to go to, too.

If your personal god did exist, I would not want to join him anywhere considering his atrocious resume through the ages. I do not and never will positively associate myself with anyone or anything that kills and plagues women and children for petty and immature reasons.

I hope the Macho Man had Jesus in his heart, if not, sounds like you will get a chance to meet your idol.

I highly doubt you'll get this awesomely corny entertainment in your little shiny rainbow cloud-city.

We are going to see and hear alot of really bitter Bible people for the next few weeks. They will be disgruntled their heavenly charriott never showed up and swooped them away. We will hear all kinds of excuses and reasonings and they will damn all us non-believers to hell.  

[samrhett2]

People should be ashamed for spreading stupid speculation like this.  No us here, but the dorks who started it.  My 11 year old has been scared to death for days now.  No one know when the earth is going to end. 

[monnee]

If this year isn't the end of the world, we will always have next year when the world's suppose to end.  

[jcribb16]

I don't agree whatsoever with the person doing this prediction.  Scripture even discusses how no one knows the time or date and that it will come "as a thief in the night." 
2 Peter 3:10  "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."

1 Thessalonians 5:2  "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night."

They will be disgruntled their heavenly charriott never showed up and swooped them away.

Adding to the ridiculousness, the Rapture is supposed to occur at 6pm "everywhere" (apparently god abides by our man-made time zones).  So that means it would have already happened in Europe, Japan, Australia, etc.  So unless god is blocking our news streams with his awesome wizarding ways, the Rapture didn't happen.  *gasp*
