I declare May 22nd, 2011 as "international aawwwww day"

[rumborak]

Well, we all know the world is coming to an end again on May 21st, like so many times before.
I hereby proclaim the following day as "awwwww day".
For an interesting read, look at the Wikipedia article for "Great Disappointment". I assume something similar will happen here too. The guy will proclaim he miscalculated, offers a new date, and then will slowly fade into obscurity.

This kind of "awwwww"?

I can't wait to see the site on May 22nd.

What if May 21 ends and nothing occurs?

The Biblical evidence is too overwhelming and specific to be wrong. Christ's people can look with great confidence to this date because God promises His "beloved" He will not come upon them as a thief in the night. God in His mercy has revealed the vital information needed to know the day. Judgment Day on May 21, 2011 will occur because the bible declares it. Anyone whom God has not saved will arrive at that day with no hope for salvation. God warns simply the "door will be shut."

I saw TWO billboards yesterday for this horse shit. One in Michigan, and one in Ohio.

I can't wait to see what everyone does with 2012 if we're freaking out over something some old fuck has a hunch about.

I saw one driving back to Chicago from Stl. It was huge.

I've seen stickers on lamp posts in Boston. That shit is everywhere.

I guess there's been a drought of such a prediction for a good number of years, so people jump on the opportunity to believe it. After all, lots of people unemployed and unhappy, always fertile ground for this kind of stuff.

I'm imagining us laughing now and waking up on May 21st to find our friends have disappeared.

It bothers me that our society actually gives attention to nutcases like this.

Last big one was Nostradamus in '99, right? I know the same guy who's predicting this weekend also thought it would happen in 1994.

So, everyone's freaking out about a guy who guessed at this before, and was wrong that time too? How fucking stupid are we?

[rumborak]

To be honest, if the outcome of it is that my life will just go on as usual, but we curbed overpopulation by a good amount and we no longer have religious programming clogging up TV channels, sounds like a deal.

Dude, did you check out their commercial? Best speakers ever.
Also, since when is "The day is come" proper English?

I plan to accept Christ into my heart on May 20th.

The last guy to get kicked out of Heaven was Lucifer, and I feel I can do a much better job than that pussy.

I saw a few in N.H and to be honest, if I see one of those followers, I'll break their nose.  We are laying my mom's ashes to rest on that day which would have been her 65th birthday.  So you can see my anger.  Now on the 22nd. I will laugh my ass off.

Wow, that statement alone contradicts the Bible in at least 2 ways.

[rumborak]

Yeah, but the Bible is like that mirror in Harry Potter, the Mirror of Erised. It shows to each reader what they most desire.

I'd debate that, but I figure this thread best stay out of P/R.

Somehow I hadn't actually heard of this, perhaps because I'm in Canada, so I looked it up on Wikipedia. This had me laughing so hard.

A commonly cited argument in favor of the May 21st date is:

    According to Camping, the number five equals "atonement", the number ten equals "completeness", and the number seventeen equals "heaven".
    Christ is said to have hung on the cross on April 1, 33 AD. The time between April 1, 33 AD and April 1, 2011 is 1,978 years.
    If 1,978 is multiplied by 365.2422 days (the number of days in a solar year, not to be confused with the lunar year), the result is 722,449.
    The time between April 1 and May 21 is 51 days.
    51 added to 722,449 is 722,500.
    (5 × 10 × 17)^2 or (atonement × completeness × heaven)^2 also equals 722,500.

Thus, Camping concludes that 5 × 10 × 17 is telling us a "story from the time Christ made payment for our sins until we're completely saved."

[Gadough]

Ignoring how fucking retarded that entire sequence is, I'd rather focus on the first line of it. According to him, those numbers equal those things? Where is he getting this information? Is he pulling it out of his ass?

There's only one man I'd want solving this conundrum:

Oh, alright then. As long as it's based on numerology and not, as I had first supposed, some crazy guy playing sudoku with a bible, this seems totally legit.

[slycordinator]

The guy will proclaim he miscalculated, offers a new date, and then will slowly fade into obscurity.

rumborak

If he's absolutely going to fade into obscurity, you'd expect that to have already happened (hint: May 21, 2011 is his recalculation since he predicted the world would end several years ago).

edit: Clearly, I was beaten to the punch many hours ago).

[Gadough]

The guy that made this prediction is older than dirt. I'd find it hilarious if he died on that day.

Then the web admins would claim he "disappeared" and was correct. They'd say the rest of the Christians "left behind" weren't true believers and only a miniscule amount of people were taken. Somewhere in the hundreds of thousands, maybe reaching the millions.

I don't think it will happen but what if it actually does?  We'll all be like
