Fortunately most Christian leaders are rubbishing it rather than whipping everyone up into a pointless frenzy.

Anybody want to have a sweepstake on what excuse he'll use when he wakes up on Sunday morning and nothing's changed?

Should solve the population problem, food and energy shortages at a stroke for us atheists. :D

I've lost count of the predictions of the end of the world. Just a load of tosh. Don't expect the bank to forget about those bills on Monday.

Everyone buys a blowup doll, fills it with helium, and releases it at exactly 12 Noon.

As already mentioned and just to bring some facts in to this thread, nobody is saying the world will end tomorrow. The Rapture is believed by some to be the starting point of the end of the world which actually takes 7 years so it would still be some time away. What is believed will happen is all the Christians in the world will disapear at once and the rest of you are left to fend for yourself as the anti-Christ rises to power. He will be very charismatic and seen as being almost saint-like (think Tony Blair in 1997) and certainly no-one will guess who he is

Cue loads of natural disasters, wars etc.

Then the battle to end all battles, but you can find out more about that yourself :)

I doubt your going to find people of such thinking in a Church.

I do want to find a forum with people who believe this and following their posts tommorow. :D

I believe the Rapture and End of the World will occur if that's any help?

Only I have no reason to expect it to happen tomorrow or in 10, 20 or even 100 years' time. If they're going to read the bible word for word then they'd know that not even Big J knows when it'll happen so I'd have to doubt the predictive abilities of the guy in the OP.

Even taking what Russ says if any of them are still here in eight years they are going to be thinking something is a little wrong.

Now i know i have given a little serious thought to something totally stupid but you do have to wonder how much of a nutter you have to be to buy into this rubbish. Out of curiosity how does all this happen anyway spaceships come down take them to another world or the clouds come down swallow them all up and they go off for tea and sarnies with god ?.

'Countdown to back-pedalling'

The Rapture After Party in Fayetteville, North Carolina, is a two-day event organised by the Central North Carolina Atheists and Humanists.
Promoters of Harold Camping's prediction in New York, 13 May 2011 This prediction has been given an unusually high level of publicity

"Though the absurdity of this claim is obvious to the majority of the world, it's a great opportunity to highlight some of the most bizarre beliefs often put forth by religious fundamentalists and raise awareness of the need for reason," said a posting about the party on the group's website.

Atheists in Tacoma, Washington, have headed their celebration "countdown to back-pedalling".

Events are also planned in Houston, Florida and California.

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."

The Bible-quoting proselytizer owns two parrots, three cats and a small dog.

If he believes what he believes is true then he's only looking after the animals interests.:rolleyes:
