May 21 should be a nice dry run for 12/21/12

[Renew Deal]

I'm sure you've heard by now that end timers that can't wait for 12/21/12 have moved up the date to 5/21/11. And with just 11 days to go until the big day, the Rapture Ready® Rapture index is near record highs. The record was set 4/18/11 at 184. Today we are at a delightfully rapturous 182.

We should keep an eye on the news over the next few days. I wonder if there will be any mass suicides. I wonder how many people will test out their end times bunker? Will the FEMA camps finally open? And ask your friends if you can have their stuff if you get "left behind."

The end is near. Might as well enjoy it.

1. I just wish it were not fiction

because I'd love to be rid of them forever.

Just think of a world without hypocritical moral crusaders, busybodies, and idiots who want to force their religious dogma into civil law.

2. Isn't life for those left behind supposed to be pretty terrible?

That's the way I remember the story.

[MrMickeysMom]

3. Yeah... that's the myth

I really do not like what people do with religion.

[skepticscott]

8. Well, not really

When the fundies all get Rapturized, we get to go through their (Left Behind) pockets for loose change..

:woohoo:

5. I'm trying

to "think of a world without hypocritical moral crusaders, busybodies, and idiots who want to force their religious dogma into civil law", but drawing a blank.

It's a very pleasant blank feeling, like a check with 6 zeros in the bank.

6. Those people in your last sentence would not be the ones

going up ......... for they have Satan in their souls and will be the ones to embrace the anti-christ

9. my favorite religious joke

is the one about an atheist dying and finding, to his surprise, the divine on the other side. St. Peter gives a tour, introducing Buddha, among others.. until they come to a brick wall. St. Peter tells the atheist to be quiet.

why? the atheist asks (don't they always)

because the fundies are behind that wall - and they think they're the only ones here.

4. Nah, May 21st will end up looking like Tobias Funke's famous saying:

"Why yes, I'm afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run. Now I'm afraid I have a mess on my hands."
"So many poorly chosen words in that sentence."

:rofl:

[RainDog]

7. LOL. ah yes, the Funke Fundamentalists

they'll probably be blue, too, when they discover their discipline daddy didn't do his thing.

[Initech]

10. Then they'll require the attention of their analrapists.

And post on the Bob Loblaw Law Blog.

11. ohhhhh, a Tobias Funke quote! Can't get enough of those!

[Initech]

12. I think my all time favorite:

"Who'd like a banger in the mouth?"
"What?"
"Oh I'm sorry in the states you call it a sausage in the mouth!"
"We just call it a sausage."

:rofl:

13. They need to add one more item to

their rapture index: Their dog pee'd on the carpet!!
Makes more sense than sone of the others they have listed!
Damn.....are people really that stupid??

14. I wonder how Obama plays into it.

Do they consider him a king or an anti-christ?

[SpiralHawk]

15. Except the Mayan Daykeepers have never said THE world was going to end

They have said the calendar ends. Time of transition. New calendar starts. Lots of people misrepresenting what the tradition says.

17. Hey, don't ruin my apocalypse survival kit business.

:D

[SpiralHawk]

19. What you need is a new Dance Craze: Do The Apocalypso

If you try to dance without a Survival Kit, everyone will know you are a feeb...

16. Find one of these fools on the 20th.

Ask them to sign over all their property. If they hesitate ask them why they doubt.

18. I hope I encounter a few giving away their possessions.
