OK so it seems lots of people think that the end of the world is going to be tomorrow. I think that it is a bunch you know what. What about YOU?

I know there are some people for which I wouldn't mind that being true. Me personally, I feel like my world is just getting started.

Religous fanatics are always predicting the end of the world throughout human history, and they are always wrong, check this list out:

Well, shoot! I knew the world would end before I got my next patent application turned in, but I didn't expect it to go like this! Do you suppose the dinosaurs believed that the world would end for them someday?

What makes anyone think that the world will end at an exact date? That's absolutely ret*d. Chances are, it will be at some arbitrary point in time, when the sun becomes a red giant in however many billion (or is it trillion?) years.

I'm amused that the worst year of my life was the year the world was supposed to end---on my birthday no less:

>May 5th, 2000.
The worst year of my life was 2000.

My thoughts for the world ending tomorrow is someone's on drugs.

This age-old nonsense is but one of religion's many banalities. A tradition of every generation since recorded history. They've cried wolf so much in the past, who could take them seriously anyways...

realisticly if the world was going it end, which it will, cause everything that has begining also has an ending, it would not end all in one day. that is total BS. It would end in a series of events. Even if something like an astroid the size of the moon hit the earth, it still would not end all in one day. The earth would likely be knocked out of orbit, and the debris would have clouded the entire earth, the climate changes so rapidly that horrible storms kill many people and all the plants die from lack of light and the right tempatures, then the animals and people and so on would die..and with the earth out of the orbit that gave it life, life never begins again.

But even in that most extreeme scenero, it would not happen all in one day.

But the idea of a rapture is really a rather new concept in christianity...only 200 or so years old.
But I have noticed that there are more doomsday dates, more often than in the past. I dont think this is a sign of the earth ending, but rather that the social political culture is changing in our country, and not in a possitive way either cause the only purpose in doomsday dates and theories outside of real science is fear. Fearful people are easy to control. And with a doomsday clock always ticking at some point, people are more easily led to places unaware.

Religious fundamentalists/freaks are crazy psychos that need to be locked away in asylums and never to be released. Seriously religion is poisonous!

Nazis, Christian fundamentalists and Islamic fundamentalists, etc are psychos.

being that even a stopped clock is technically "right" twice daily, one of these days they will get a hit. until then, there's no use worrying about it. in Mathew 24:36 it says "...of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my father only." or in Acts 1:7-"It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority." IOW, god only knows.

I'm still here and waiting for the rapture, Everything seems ok, the devil hasn't risen from the earth yet haha. Actually, this crazy guy called Harold Camping predicted that the rapture will happen today and eventually the universe will be completely destroyed on October 21. He predicted that the rapture was going to happen on September 1994 but didn't obviously. Silly man!

Rapture is psycho nonsense pushed by religious fundamentalists: Mormons/7th day Adventists, Jehovahs witnesses and Christian Evangelists. Rapture is not even mentioned in the Bible.

Doomsday literally means we all die one day. Fate decides when we live or die unless we commit suicide. Doomsday and every living thing dying on the Earth at the same time is far fetched psycho babble. It will never ever happen.

While it's possible that today could be the end, the end wouldn't come just because some guy said it would. I think he's just trying to get attention, and keeping us on our toes.

Some old crazy nut case predicted the end of the world and stated the exact date. He is just another discredited fanatical cult leader.

Rapture and end of the world is nonsense.

I think it's kind of funny that this is getting so much attention. I can't wait for Harold Camping's remarks when tomorrow rolls around. It'll be great. :lol:

December 21, 2012 is going to be a fun day for me as well. The crazies are really going to get riled up about that day! I'm looking forward to watching the stupidity.
