The Rapture.
Hang on… if Seventy and Ally got raptured while they were typing, who clicked the "send" button?

Faliat, I think that in a reality where this rapture were to work, it would mean the end of the entire universe and not just the planet earth, since the earth and all the people on it are just one part of corporeal reality, which is what is ending.
I think the religious nuts have the better deal though- Worrying about an end of everything that involves magical beings is a lot less depressing than thinking about rogue comets and gamma ray bursts. :(

You see, after they typed their messages, their…Uh, wait…
Maybe the angel/demon who came to collect them finished their business for them? Would seem rude otherwise.
I was gonna end my message prematurely too, but I have a great outlook on the rapture.
Good people go to heaven
Bad people go to hell
Awesome people stay behind and get to loot all the shit they want.
Thus I'm staying right here.
Before I ask, I'll say that yes, I am often disconnecter from many news/events/rumours, etc. Now that this is said, what started this "today is the rapture" thing?Some nutjob "deciphered" the bible and found that the rapture happens today.
But I dunno, there's only 2 hours left to this day for me, and the world has yet to end…
So, it ends this afternoon then? Tonight? Midnight?
Actually I heard that it was supposed to end at 6pm Eastern time (U.S.), which was 5 pm where I'm at. So nothing's happened yet.
Unless it's a zombie apocalypse, it which case it may be awhile before any of us realize what's going on…
…OH CRAP!

As for Ozone's comment, he said it would be the end of the world, not the universe.
That's a whole lot more depressing kettle of fi…
As for Ozone's comment, he said it would be the end of the world, not the universe.The world is the universe, especially if you're talking about a religious perspective- the god there doesn't just have dominion over the planet earth, but everything that exists.
That's a whole lot more depressing kettle of fi…
Just 'cause no one was sucked into heaven doesn't mean the rapture didn't happen. Maybe no one was good enough.Than that'd make this hell! o_O
Well whaddaya know? Hell isn't so bad afterall. :)
He got it all wrong. Harold Camping is a CULT btw. Same with any so-called "Christian" who puts in extra-biblical teaching.
Read your gospels. Christianity is pretty much straightforward. After you've read em, you'd be easily able to see who is real and who is just a cult.
At one time I scoffed at Christianity and even hated it because I associated Roman Catholicism with Christianity when in fact Catholicism is NOT Christianity but it is rather a hybrid of paganism and christianity and its a separate religion in of it itself. I viewed em as backward, unevolved laggards whose comprehension of reality is so primitive.
But after reading the Bible myself and studying it with a little more care, I learned to give em respect. All these crazies who call themselves "Christian" are just that… CRAZIES.
With regards to this rapture-end-of-the-world-crap and putting dates on the end of the world… here's a few verses for you to look at:
Matthew 24:36
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Acts 1:7
And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-2
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
Kyupol: In high school, while everyone else in RE was being taught the catholic beliefs surrounding certain passages, I actually read the bible. I would just flip through and read whichever passage was furthest to the left. There's stuff condoned in it that would be banned in videogames. Especially in the old testament. It also really easy to find conflicting beliefs in it because of it all being written by different people at different times.
Ozone: Why do we still sometimes call Earth by the alternate name of "The World" then? Sure, it may have been all people used to know but why do we still use it when that way of thinking died off before modern English began forming?
Ozone: Why do we still sometimes call Earth by the alternate name of "The World" then? Sure, it may have been all people used to know but why do we still use it when that way of thinking died off before modern English began forming?Well "the world" Can mean so very many things, so it's important to think about the context.
-From a religious perspective, god created everything: the world- universe- reality.
-From a personal perspective, your "world" is your family, friends, school, etc.
-If you say "in 1939, the world ended" you'd probably be talking about peace in Europe being shattered by the start of WW2.
etc.
"The whole world" can mean all of planet earth, or it can mean all the people on earth, of it can mean all the people who happen to think the same way you do "duh, the whole world knows that!"… It's just one of those nice, big, open words :)

Plus, right now we can still call it THE world. Until we discover another planet inhabited by aliens in which case we'll be "just Another world." ;)

…OH CRAP!
Well I'm only waiting for the zombies, but sadly due to the volcano erupt around here then there is a flight ban… so no zombies…
Until we discover another planet inhabited by aliens in which case we'll be "just Another world." ;)Not really- since the term is always context sensitive and even sensitive to the intent of the speaker so the earth will always be "the world" and at the same time it's always "just another world" because there are other planets out there, inhabited or not.
…And I was just reading a historical story about Tamerlane by Robert E Howard, where he was described as "the last conqueror of the world"- "The world" in that context being mainly central Asia.

I heard that the rapture guy had scarpered with all the millions he got from his non-profit Christian radio station. That's what I heard anyway.
Who'd 'a thought it? An evangelical Christian con-man!? That never happens o_O
Is there some special bible for evangelical fundamentalist Christians that has stuff about being homophobic closet gays, having lots of extramarital affairs, and getting super rich by conning their followers? …Like the book of Mormon, only weirder.
And welcome to the Great Disappointment II
Miller counted it wrong in 1844 and this guy counted wrong in 2011. Maybe that means that they're using the wrong numbers? Maybe the whole a day is a millenium to god is a metaphor and not to be taken literally? Maybe it means Time means nothing to a timeless being such as a deity?
It's an analogy, a metaphor, stop wasting all our time by taking it literally!
Now comes the next would-be END OF ALL THINGS in 2012.
How about this one? Every night is an end and every morning is a new beginning. So the world is always beginning, Not ending.
Yeah and the buffalo will come back and this beaded shirt is bulletproof.
Biblical prophecy was about current events. Revelation was about the First Century A.D. Roman Empire and never had anything to do with forecasting into the far future.
