Tomorrow - The Raputue

[Davethedog]

Do any of you religious types belive you will be laughing up your sleeves at us atheists tomorrow?

To paraphrase Les Dennis, "I'll give you the money myself"

[mike11111]

No, simply because many religious types, if not most, do not believe this silly prophecy.

[Old_Geezer]

No you won't, you'll be too busy swimming in lava (or something).

[cazzz1975]

I will be interested to see what excuse will he come up with

[starone]

I haven't enough fingers and toes to count how many different times I have heard this prophecy and still been here the next day. I suppose one day it will be true but I am just going to enjoy myself until that day occurs. Your personal end comes soon enough.

[JMR27]

[starone]

Some nutcase has prophesied judgement day tomorrow jomifl. And the end of the world in October

[MarkRae]

How will it be? How will it be?

[JMR27]

Oh, I see it's rapture...thought that was something you got with chocolate lol

[cazzz1975]

and of course if we are not wiped out in october we have the mayans prediction of 23 december 2012 to look forward to

[JMR27]

What was the name of that newsreader who predicted the end of the world a few years ago? David somebody?

[ChuckFickens]

David Ike....

And he wasn't a newsreader, he's the son of god (well he thinks so)

[Safiya]

I thought it was the 21st, bur I guess a day or two won't matter for Armaggedon :)

[cazzz1975]

oh yeah, it probably is the 21st

[JMR27]

Thanks Chuck, that's him. He's got a world tour planned for this year so we should be alright for a while.

[Davethedog]

Some people are quite happy


An atheist and entrepreneur from North Hampshire, Bart Centre, is enjoying a boost in business for Eternal Earth-bound Pets, which he set up to look after the pets of those who believe they will be raptured.

He has more than 250 clients who are paying up to $135 (£83) to have their pets picked up and cared for after the rapture.

They would be disappointed twice, he told the Wall Street Journal. "Once because they weren't raptured and again because I don't do refunds

[Old_Geezer]

It's insurance. Pet insurance.

For the record, the Mayan calendar does NOT predict the end of the world - it simply stops. The conspiracy theorists notwithstanding, this is because the Mayans believed that we are governed by a 26,000 year long cycle of which the current is set to end on 21 December 2012, whereupon, the next one begins.

If anyone in the Western world has a calendar on their kitchen wall or in the back of a diary, chances are that it will end on 31 December 2011. That's not a portent of Armageddon...
