Title: The world didn't end! Yet another nutjob declared the rapture for Feb.
Post by: zen_magick on January 02, 2013, 09:22:22 AM
I know longer remember how many end of the world's I've lived through. I truly hope this upcoming rapture happens cause at least a whole host of people I can't stand will be gone.

Personally I'm still pissed about Y2K I had a Van and was ready to get that big screen TV at last.

Currently watching Portlandia and realizing that Boulder, CO has spread across the country and praying to all the gods/goddesses to wipe this planet clean before the yuppies have me deprogrammed.

With that said HAPPY NEW YEAR YOUZ ALL!!!

Big rock falls out of the sky, everyone dies.

No, seriously, it's an alleged asteroid impact.  You know how it is...every time an asteroid is due to pass near Earth, people speculate it's actually going to hit, and NASA are covering up that fact for the government.  Because only NASA have access to the advanced technology required to track asteroid trajectories, like computers, star charts, telescopes and maths.

Oh i see. Asteroid impacts are now synonymous with the millenialist concept of the rapture just like a george romero concept is synonymous with the last book in the bible. People are getting a bit lax in their terminology when it comes to eschatology are they?

Dammit. I wanted Fred Phelps to float up in the air and explode when he left the atmosphere.

Funny thing is, we only watch about 5% of the sky, last I heard.

Lot of rocks out there.  On the other hand, if NASA did see a rock on a collision course, why WOULD they tell anyone?  Would you really want to know?

I don't think they could hide it, unless NASA either hid knowledge of it from the start.  As soon as everyone knows about it, their claims can be verified.

And since we know about this asteroid, it's not the one that's going to kill us.  Like sharks, it's the one we don't see.

To guarantee that the Christian end of the world never comes we need someone who firmly believes that it is coming.  According to the bible we shall not know the hour or day of its coming, so as long as someone knows each day, they have to be wrong.

Too much effort. Ill go with some ill defined date in about a billion years with the cause being increased solar luminosity.

Tucson is unchanging.  When the stars all burn out, and the curtain is drawn on creation, Tucson will still be there.

Speaking of end times, here Tapley explains how the video Gangnam Style is actually a divine revelation from God: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=U0bk3gsv1gA
