Was anybody sucked in by the announcement of the pending apocolyse???

I'm not a religious man and I didn't believe for a second that the world was going to end!!

If the worlds going to end it can't be predicted!!

But was there any member that did and went to the extent of putting down their animals or heaven forbid, sell their gaming collection??

 

Actually it can! The sun will go to Red Giant in roughly 5 billion years.

Anyhoo... this was just something to bring the world together in humor.

 

Yup, sold all my belongings, Put down my kittens, flushed my fish down the toilet and hid under the stairs for the rapture to begin.

 

The world does not revolve around theist in there primitive superstition.
Like GaijinPunch said,when the sun goes Red Giant the earth will be nothing more than a dead planet.

What can I say, You ask a stupid question, You get stupid responses.

 

I'm posting this from Heaven right now. Gonna go play some Shenmue 3 on Dreamcast 2 now

 

there's no such thing as stupid questions, just stupid people. At least that's what our teacher used to tell us.

 

Man, the verb "suck" in the question made me think - I hope some people made good use of the impending apocalypse and boned some religious chicks.

I sure could have used some action to celebrate the end of the world.

That being said, I spent the apocalypse morning playing Chrono Trigger, then the afternoon playing Blazblue and drinking, so not all is lost.

 

What I think is funny is that according to scripture (that is, if you believe the rapture interpretation of Revelations, which some people don't) then only 250,000 people would be raptured anyway. So if 250,000 people disappeared world wide I highly doubt anyone would even notice. That is not a very big number of people, assuming it were dispersed evenly across the globe.

 

Right like I'm going to believe some shithead that already got it wrong back in 94.

I can think of a number of apocalypse scenarios that don't involve a zombie carpenter hippie from outer space.

I'm not religious, but I believe the bible states that even god, Jesus etc. don't know the date of the apocalypse. That being the case, why would some crackpot in the middle of no-where know?

 

For one the rapture is not even in the bible,but what your talking about is Matthew 24:36.
People take there mythology way to serious.

 

Whether that will mean the "End of the World" or not is debatable. If we survive that long, we very well might have the power to move our entire planet somewhere else.

Also, I wonder if the 2 people who said they were suckered really meant it or just did it to be funny.

 

Our race will go on living for another 5 BILLION years? We managed to create several shitstorms in the past 75 years, no way we could go on for 5,000,000,000 more years.

Another 100, 200 years. 500 would be insane already if humanity is going on like it is. Selfishness, narcism, politics, religion and all that other crap that I can think of to define a self-destructive race.

 

Almost right. Only God knows, no-one else and that it would come as a thief in the night, that is, completely unexpected. So basically, if a crackpot like him says it's going to be on x day... it's not true.

Funny though, I heard some dude sold everything, bought an RV and quit his job.

And about the sun exploding... I think humans would destroy themselves from war way before that time comes.

 

Given that Revelations sounds like a bad acid trip and even if the end of the world is meant to be 7000 years after the great flood (which there is no evidence of, except possible large local floods which happened around 3000 to 2000bc) a lot of bible scholars and put the great flood between 3000bc and 2400bc which means if there is the end of the world then it will not be until the year 4000, so I think we can party on.

 

Apocalypse? It seems like we all survived lots of "attempts".

2000, 2001, 2002, 2011... next try 2012?

Here's some good old sarcasm from Bill Maher:
