Advice for the Rapture

As you may or may not know, on Saturday 21st, it's the rapture. Basically, God's elect will rise up to heaven and the rest of us are f*cked. Personally, I've got front row seats in hell booked, as I believe, that religion / faith in god is born out of mans lack of understanding of the world around him, and it's all a load of pony ! Actually, I'm sure I'll be here on Sunday, but I'm sure that there are some nutters out there that will interpret this event in their own twisted way and tell me that my life is actually what was meant by hell.
F*cking nutters !!

Anyway, a brief guide can be found here :D

    Bugger, I had plans for Sunday too :-(

    I've also got the Sky man coming round Saturday morning to re-align my dish, that'll be a waste of time if the world ends. At least i'll be able to watch it though :-D

    I've an afternoon in the pub planned for tomorrow to watch the rugby final, what time is this all going down? Should I get on the shots a bit earlier than usual?

    As you are a newly wed, (albeit not behaving like one) I'd have thought you would have more important things to do, on the day before Armaggedon, than repeating an old thread on which you posted. http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12776573&highlight=

    Please get your priorities right!

    Anyone know what the weather's like next week?

    In fact Christians have even more reason to disbelieve this loon than atheists - Jesus actually said that even he didn't know when this would happen, so I don't think some crazed american "preacher" is likely to be correct.

    Ah yes, Mr B, but you're talking about real Christians rather than the lunatic cults (hope I've spelt that right) that inhabit most of the good old US of A. Think I'll maybe repent all my sins about 5.30 tomorrow just in case.

    If this means there will be no-one ringing church bells at 7am on Sunday morning then great - I get a lie-in. :lol:

    Anyway, I'm already there, blood everywhere, who'd have thought a dog could make so much mess through something so trivial...

    Ace isn't it !!!

    Is it 6pm in the middle east (lets be generic and say that the good lord Jesus was from somewhere in that neck of the woods), they're two hours ahead, so the rapture will happen at 4pm UK time.

    or is it 6pm in California where Harold Camping is from ? In which case that's eight hours behind us, so 10am our time.

    F*ck, I might only have 1hr 12 minutes left !!!!

    Isnt the end in october........today is mearly the begining of the end where the christians who are to be saved will be picked and taken to heaven. The rest of us just get to stick it out till the world burns in october.

    At least the roads will be a bit clearer for us to ride on!

    I'll let you know how it goes. I'm 3.5 hours ahead of the UK so I can give you a decent warning if I get raptured. You might have a chance to pop to the 'God Shop' and get some face-time in.

    If you don't hear from me, assume the worst.Personally I think it's a typo. What they mean is Raped and Tortured.

    Well, I'm still here. Neither Raped nor Tortured. I'm a bit bored actually. It would have at least been an event to talk about.

    Quote from the Telegraph reporting on the rapture so far:
    There were also unconfirmed reports that Tonga has, thus far, failed to boil into the Pacific.

    The FAQ's are great!

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    Am loving the readers comments on the BBC news site story that 'The Rapture' didn't happen.

    Example:

    "I feel sorry for the Rev Camping; he must be really disappointed that it didn't happen. Still: it's not the end of the world"

    :lol: Brilliant!

    How do we know that the Rapture did not happen? Maybe everyone just wasn't worth saving.
