Title: Rapture
Post by: Gaspar on October 21, 2011, 08:29:16 AM
Does anyone have a time on when the rapture is going to occur today?

I wanted to be able to hit Oktoberfest before Jesus arrived.

For shame Gas. Its their religion. I find it strange but most religion is. You really should think twice before making fun.

Believe it or not, I'm going to have to side with Gas here....this guy has predicted this how many times now?  If you or I was to do something like this that many times and be wrong, wouldn't we get made fun of?

Just because it's religion doesn't mean it should be shielded from being made fun of.

While I agree with you about this being pathetic and should be pointed and laughed at...Someone with a faith should never make fun of another unless they realize all faiths are open to and deserve to be made fun of for one reason or another.

In my case, it's the first time I've attempted a prediction.  I chose a number to allow everyone to get a buzz on before the big event.

;D

I am pretty much non-religious (but yes mostly conservative, I always ruin the bell curve) so I make fun of all religions.

Thanks.

Oh yes, this was the "rolling rapture" started, what six months ago?

I'll be at cannon_fodder's tonight no chance of any in that crew getting raptured, so looks like I'll still be here on Monday.

And I do.  The difference with me and some others (no not you Townie) is that I don't wear my religion on my sleeve.  And I don't try to minister to those who don't believe as I do.

Sorry, no exceptions.

Unless I'm wrong, which has a small but finite probability of happening.

I heard this is his second profession. His first was a meterologist that was fired for too many wrong forecasts. ;D

I don't care about the moron making the prediction. But those who believe in the rapture are no more crazy than people who see the virgin Mary in pancakes or think some guy in Utah was the second coming. Just sayin....

If you don't pre-board online you are automatically put in the last group. 

I heard that all of the people from the "People of Walmart" photo-blog went missing early this morning.  Uh-oh! ???

It occurs to me that the only ones missing after these rapture events are dogs and cats. Is there something we're missing here?
