Apparently tomorrow the world is going to end? It's all over the news. I think it's not true, because... the world won't end.

What are your thoughts?

All alone in my room, haven't been outside since 1992.

Please.... it's just one of us. He believes that the rapture is coming tomorrow night at 6:00PM. Sounds like a good excuse for a party! I'm sure I'll still be here on Sunday,whether it happens or not.

I don't think we're supposed to know when the rapture will come, so I doubt this is a valid prediction. Either way, we should always be prepared for our own "end of the world", though.

The rapture describes you as floating up into space naked while you watch all your friends get stuck behind. So I think you would know. If you are neither floating nor naked, you're not raptured.

Pretty impressive, I haven't done anything tomorrow yet.

Anyway we all know that the world will end in 2012, no sooner.

Does he know that the majority of the world reference time to GMT? And that it's currently BST? And the dates he uses are based on GMT +2?

These doom mongers, they need to sort their time zones out! Somebody is going to get caught out making a cup of tea when it all kicks off.

On the plus side, if you two don't get raptured, there's really nothing you can do that would get you in any more trouble than you currently are!

hmm, if no-one is meant to know when the rapture will come, surely you can prevent it ever happening by continually predicting it will be tomorrow?

I'm having a BBQ tomorrow night at 6:00PM! So long as it's not GMT and I can get a kebab and a beer down before it happens, I'll die happy.

That one made me LOL. It's that kind of entrepreneurial spirit that you just have to admire.

Is this a bash Christians thread? Want me to chime in and start bashing Muslims, tha_rami? A very small minority of Christians believe this. If you want to continue making fun of other people's religious beliefs, which is clearly against the AUP, then be prepared for bans.
