they dont show the end of the world tomorrow !!!

It's my understanding that after the Armageddon there will still be weather fronts and wind, the difference being all those annoying happy clappers will be whipped of to heaven to spend their days worshipping their god while the left of us are left here in hell.

To be honest it probably means property prices will fall as there will be an abundance of vacant houses, less traffic on the roads, fewer waiting lists to get your kids into a good school and sudden fall in frocked kiddy fiddlers! Doesn't sound all that bad to me ....

This world is remarkably persistent. Despite many predictions about the end of the world, somehow the sun keeps comes up each morning.

So who's predicting the end of the world tomorrow? Is it the Mayan's ?
I thought most of the armageddon things were some time in 2012 when the new ice age will descend upon us and the lizard people will rise from the core of the earth.
It's gonna be funny if some of these nut bags get it right.

Really? Down here in 'The Shire' there are no people around and it looks like everyone has disappeared!

I am only here still as I am packing my gear up in the hope that there is wind where ever I end up.

All these predictions of the world ending on a particular date have a real issue. Right at this point of time its the 8.30am on the 21st of May. In New York its the 20th of May at 6.30pm.

So if some Yank predicts the world will end on the 21st of May and it happens in America on the 21st of May they are still wrong. It will have happened on the 22nd of May in New Zealand, Australia, Oceania and East Asia.

And what about Tonga (or Vanuatu, can't remember which) that are going to tow their island to the other side of the international dateline to re-align their date/ time with Oz & NZ. If they time it right they can have it happen two days in a row

'The meek shall inherit the earth'
Pslams 25:8

But they'll never make it in the waves !

As a Christian I find this thread particularly offensive. We all forecast the events know as Rapture/2nd coming/apocalypse, why is it so funny that some of us go one step further and put an actual date on it?. Please show some respect.

Well,well,well.If your serious you might just have opened a can of worms.
One could simply turn your argument around and show offense at all the stuff that Christians publish as truth, like the bible and it's interpretations and the concepts of heaven and hell, immaculate conception and so forth. The more I think about it the more I belief you are pulling our legs

Easy there razzamatazz, play the ball not the man please...

It's only "funny" because there are numerous references in the Bible that clearly state that no-one knows when it will be. For example see Matthew 24 (www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+24&version=KJV)

Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

and

Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

I don't think anyone (including me) is disputing religion, nor your right to believe that a/the rapture will occur at some point.

On the other hand it is amusing to see some quack's (Harold Camping) assertions that he knows the date passing as major news, particularly given this is his second attempt at predicting it. Last time he thought it was Sept. 6, 1994 but I guess as he is an engineer by training there were some floating point rounding issues in his initial calculations.

Anyone interesting in checking out Camping's logic for this iteration of his predictions should read www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/01/01/BA8V1AV589.DTL&ao=2

I do like this end-of-the-world FAQ though: www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/hottopics/detail?entry_id=89183

What do you mean again, the knob never stopped
I get redtumbed for stating anything from pure fact all the way thru to contentious points of view. Pretty sad life somebody has, giggling over redtumbing all the posts by one or two users.

Feel free to report moderators, when that happens another moderator (or Laurie) reviews them and takes action. I have had the odd post pulled and rightly so - the same rules and standards apply to everyone here.

I'm not sure anyone is discussing religion in this thread (yet).

Unless you call (a+b+c)*(a+b+c) religion that is...

GOTB
it smacks of hypocricy to claim offense for non religious remarks and state ones beliefs as proof/back up/ justification. If the Christians wouldn't take themselves and their beliefs so terribly serious and take it onto themselves to save the earth and everyone on it whether they like it or not we would not have this discussion. If he doesn't like whats being discussed here he should just close the window on his PC and not get others to life by his adopted rules. If your a non-believer his argument just does not hold up. SORRY

I'm sure Roger the alter boy has been red thumbed more than once.(poor Roger)

I don't agree with that at all.

Judging peoples values / beliefs is just plain wrong - full stop.

People always get hot under the collar when beliefs don't align, hence the reason why we don't allow religious debates here. Nothing good can come of it. No-one will change their mind based random posts on the internet (at least I hope not).

Barn made a comment about his beliefs and asked for sensitivity - nothing wrong with that.

Welease Barn! (AKA Woger)

LOL, that post was a replica of a somebodies post from Caption comp 183, I would keep it up but I have a duty to honour, somebody is wrong on the internet!

I think this is the most absurd taboo ever, damn right we should question peoples beliefs when these people impose their beliefs upon the rest of us. Martyrs imposed their beliefs upon us when they blew up the twin towers, they impose their beliefs on us when they politically oppose Stem Cell research... People impose their belief on women and gays when they stone them to death for imaginary crimes. Africans are hacked to death with machettes because other Africans believe in witches. People impose beliefs upon their innocent children when they send them to be brainwashed, before the children can even spell indoctrination. People once believed it was Ok to keep slaves. Hitler had beliefs and values...A lot of peoples values and beliefs simply suck, judge them for it - full stop.

I assume no religious debates is because they aren't generally watersports related. This random internet post might chip away at the retarded taboo of respecting peoples religious beliefs, no matter how batsheetcrazy.

He was pulling your leg, and I guess you would have had to read his previous posts to get it. I think for the non-Barn-readers he should include an emoti-icon like
