The fans of Family Radio Inc., a Christian radio network, have sponsored dozens of different billboards in select cities around the country proclaiming the exact date when Jesus is coming back. May 21st, 2011.
The Rapture is going to be a great day for God's people but awful for everyone else, said Allison Warden, 29, who orchestrated Nashville's billboard campaign. She's a volunteer with WeCanKnow.com, a website set up by followers of Family Radio. She and other fans designed the billboards, along with T-shirts, bumper stickers and postcards to get Camping's predictions out.
She is absolutely sure that Camping's prediction is right. "It's a certainty," she said.
According to [Family Radio founder Harold] Camping's prediction, the Rapture will happen exactly 7,000 years from the date that God first warned people about the flood. He said the flood happened in 4990 B.C., on what would have been May 21 in the modern calendar. God gave Noah one week of warning. Since one day equals 1,000 years for God, that means there was a 7,000-year interval between the flood and rapture.

That's silly. Everyone knows that the world is going to end on December 21st, 2012. This May 21st nonsense is ridiculous.
:lulz: I love this mixing of literal Young Earthism with "time for God is different than it is for us!"
Does this mean all these people who believe this will be disposing of their worldly belongings leading up to this?
actually Jesus is supposed to come back when we least expect it. That's what I was taught in christian internment camp High School.

He's always in the last place you look.

So is Yog-Sothoth.
The last place you'll
ever look.
I expect these billboards to be mocked/altered and i hope for many good pics. i would help but i can't swim the Atlantic.
I have relayed this to a friend of mine who thinks the world will end Dec 2012. She says "cool we will have months of time without them before the world ends".
Awesome. I'm going to loot peoples' houses and steal their Pepsi while I wait for the world to end.

These Christians are doing us a favor then. If they're constantly expecting the End Times, then it won't happen. Yay!
Will he just be appearing as a 30-year-old man? Or will he be born this May and take 30 years to get to messiah level?

Fully grown. Revelation only mentions one birth, and it's not Jesus.

Actually Jesus was supposed to come back within the lifetime of his apostles. Shame that didn't quite work out.

Can be worked around if we clone them. :)
I wonder what these fuckwits will think on May 22nd 2011 when they are still here with the rest of us dirty sinners?
It's all part of God's plan. And somehow it's all the gays' fault.

Someone prayed enough, God spared his wrath for the short term, yadda yadda.
Or maybe they'll kill themselves, to spare themselves from having to live through the Tribulation and the reign of the Beast.
We'll just have to make sure that everybody knows that if they want to take part in the May 22nd rapture, they must prove their faith by following Mark 16:18 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+16:18&version=KJV). The Heaven's Gate followers had that kind of faith, and they were just a bunch of kooks. I imagine believers in the One True Faith™ shouldn't have trouble mustering up the required faith.
