A nice young man just told me..

…that the Rapture is on October 13, this year.

So you might want to hold off carving pumpkins 'til the 14th.

I tried to talk him out of it but he held fast because his Mother had told him and he was just out letting people know.

Seems legit.

Does that mean we don’t get a Halloween party this year? :frowning:

Was the kid’s last name Camping?

You kidding? Everybody who’s left behind gets to have a Hell of a party!

I never understood the fundamentalist obsession about the “end times”. The gospels clearly state “you know neither the day nor the hour”. Why not leave it at that and continue to live according to the commandments?

Hopefully his Mother isn’t making any unwise plans based on this information. It’s just funny if the family wakes up on October 14th and realizes the world is still here. It’s tragic if they gave away the family savings the week before or killed the dog.

Ahh this is so reminiscent of a couple Octobers ago, when people were going crazy due to what Harold Camping said. I used to listen to him to try to figure out where his out was about the part in the Bible that says only the Father will know the day and time. Never did figure it out. I’d love to see the conversation between him and the Father when and if he gets up there lol.

So Zombie Apocalypse Oct 14th?

Limited to married gay couples.

If they gave the family savings to me that would lessen the tragedy somewhat. Lanzy, if you see him again, ask him to give you money; if he truly believes then he won’t be needing it.

Well, there’s going to be one hell of a scramble for childcare. That’s the start of Hajj.

Q: So, do the kids get a half-day, an early dismissal, or a full day off? Ask him to call the Board of Ed and find out, will you?

I guess it’s okay…I’ve used up all my vacation for the year, so there’s not much to look forward to.

It’s on other days, other years.

And about the dog thing, aren’t there enough atheist dog watchers out there to keep the pooches safe? I’m sure I’ve seen adds. For just $20/month, I’ll check in twice a week to see if you have ascended, and take fluffy home if you have. $40/month if you must witness.

This means that all of the proselytizing assholes will be gone? I’ll chip in a twenty if we can accelerate the schedule by the start of October.

Right. Wouldn’t you know. According to Wiki it’s the UN’s International Day for Disaster Reduction, and that’s gonna be all bollixed up by the end of the world, you just watch.

Actually, The Walking Dead Season 4 premiere is on October 13 this year, so the ZA and the Rapture coincide nicely.

Zombie Apocalypse: Preparedness 101

Indeed. It never ceases to amaze me that some fundamentalists Christians think they know better than Jesus.

I think it’s more that they’re taught to live in abject fear of getting caught out by God, so they better be ready, dammit!
