[size=13pt]Atheists Scheduling May 21st 'Rapture Parties'[/size]


BY ERIK HAYDENMAY 18, 2011
This weekend, a confused elderly pastor will marshal his worldwide band of followers for judgment day while bored atheists plan theoretical good-riddance "Rapture parties" to mark the non-event. May 21st is shaping up to be quite a day even if 6 p.m. on Saturday doesn't mark a rolling apocalypse through every time zone.

As the Associated Press noted, there are now 175,000+ people in a sarcastically self-explanatory Facebook group called "Post Rapture Looting" where skeptics hoping to "pick up some sweet stereo equipment" will be able to presumably pillage at their leisure after Harold followers disappear into thin air. "It's not meant to be insulting, but come on, Christians are openly scoffing at this," said one quoted humanist organizer of a different, but still sarcastic, North Carolina event.

Other--ostensibly kind-hearted but merely just enterprising--atheists are looking to cash in on gullible Family Radio followers. Two weeks ago, the Washington Post noted a service called Eternal Earth-Bound Pets USA, which takes care of cats and dogs of Christians in the event of a sudden Rapture--for an upfront fee, naturally.

The exploits of the Family Radio broadcaster have mostly provoked amusement outside true believers. But it's too bad that when everyone is bored with the meme on May 23rd, there will be people out there who will have lost their life savings in anticipation of a lie. One retired subway worker who became infatuated with Camping's teachings spent $140,000 of his retirement on billboards to spread the news. When asked by the New York Post what he'd do when the world doesn't end he replied, "I don't want to think about it."

That response displayed the same stubborn determination as Camping has exhibited in numerous interviews.[b] Except that Harold Camping isn't parting with his savings anytime soon. [/b]The broadcaster made this remark when asked whether he'd give his money away: "what's the point?" That's the most believable thing he's said yet.

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

We should be grateful for another day and hopefully when that day finally comes we should be found worthy of the upward calling!

Maybe the world won't end until midnight, maybe it has ended and we were left behind.

The bible did not say that anyone will know the day even our Lord Jesus Christ said that he does not know only our father who is in heaven knows please don't let anyone deceive you stand your ground keep the faith and continue to run the race God the Father help you.

Apocalypse not now: The Rapture fails to materialise


Christian doomsday prophet Harold Camping had predicted the world would end at 6pm on Saturday

Christian doomsday prophet Harold Camping looks likely to be less than rapturous after his prediction that the world would end on Saturday failed to materialise.

The 89-year-old Californian preacher had prophesied that the Rapture would begin at 6pm in each of the world's time zones, with those "saved" by Jesus ascending to heaven and the non-believers being wiped out by an earthquake rolling from city to city across the planet.

But as the deadline for the Apocalypse passed in the Pacific islands, New Zealand and Australia, it became apparent that Camping's prediction of the end of the world was to end not with a bang but with a whimper.

Only on Twitter did the supposed Armageddon sweep the world, with users expressing their mock disappointment at the lack of dead people rising from their graves.

New Zealander Daniel Boerman tweeted: "I'm from New Zealand, it is 6:06PM, the world has NOT ended. No earthquakes here, all waiting for the rapture can relax for now. #Rapture"

In Australia, Jon Gall of Melbourne was unimpressed by the lack of fire and brimstone. He tweeted: "#Rapture time here in Melbourne. A rather quiet sort of rapture if you ask me.

"Well we have had the #Rapture going for 50 minutes now. So far it hasn't interrupted my fish & chips and glass of stout."

In Brisbane, KillaJeules, was similarly disappointed by the lack of a Hollywood blockbuster ending: "So it's 6:37pm here in Brisbane, Australia. No earthquakes. No beaming up of Christians. No zombie apocalypse. No surprises haha."

Camping, a retired civil engineer, has built a multimillion-dollar, non-profit ministry based on his apocalyptic predictions. He previously predicted that the world would end in 1994. It is difficult to know how many of his followers took his latest prophecy seriously, though his Family Radio Worldwide reaches millions of listeners in the US and around the world.

Some have reportedly sold all their possessions and taken to the streets to warn people to prepare for the second coming of Jesus. In recent weeks, callers to Christian radio stations in the US have debated what to do about non-believing friends and neighbours who will be left behind to endure the wrath of God.

But it looks like it will be atheists and other skeptics celebrating this weekend, with tongue-in-cheek doomsday parties planned across the US.

TV scientist Professor Brian Cox summed up the mood of the non-believers. He tweeted: "I think we should all pretend the #rapture is happening so that when Harold Camping gets left behind later today he'll be livid."

But Kieran Healy had a slightly more comforting message for those disappointed at not joining Jesus: "I guess on Sunday when the #Rapture people feel really upset, we can't console them by saying 'Cheer up, it's not the end of the world.'"

@the post scopusing made. That preacher is has not read the bible. How can the rapture happen take people and then the rest will die from a massive earthquake, when majority of the prophecies in the bible have not occurred.

Have they cancelled the revelation of the Anti-Christ?
