End of Days - May 21, 2011
So, is anyone preparing for the End of Days and Rapture this weekend? 
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/Religion/post/2011/05/may-21-doomsday-rapture-harold-camping/1
What will happen on May 21?
Christian radio host Harold Camping says that a rapture will take place on May 21.
What is a rapture?
A rapture is the idea that believers will be taken up to heaven. Camping's followers suggest that about 200 million people will be raptured.
Will the world end immediately?
Not according to Camping. He says that the world will end on October 21.
Who is Harold Camping?
Camping, 89, is president of the Family Radio Christian network who previously claimed that the world would end in 1994.
Why May 21?
Camping uses a combination of dates and numbers to suggest May 21 is the correct day.
Do other Christians believe the same idea?
Most Christian leaders do not embrace Camping's predictions, however, some have taken fairly dramatic measures. One man spent his savings on advertisements in New York and a woman dropped out of medical school before she ran out of savings.
Where can I read more?
Several religion reporters have excellent explainers, including NPR's Barbara Bradley Hagerty, the Courier-Journal's Peter Smith, the AP's Tom Breen, Kimberly Winston for Religion News Service, Post-Gazette's Ann Rodgers and the Chicago Tribune's Manya Brachear, among others.
And if the rapture does occur?
Atheists are ready to take care of pets in the event of a rapture.
I like the last answer.....

Harold has been wrong before, and it would really su ck if the world ended on October 21st. The 22nd is my 45th b-day.
If rapture does occur, then I have an excuse to quit my job, max out my credit cards on luxury items, and not have to give a darn about my diet.
Got 5 months til the end of the world.

Re: End of Days - May 21, 2011
No, she read it right. It says the rapture is supposed to be this weekend and the world will end on Otober 21st.
ETA: I'm not too concerned, even if against all the odds, this loon was correct, what can I do about it now? How is dropping out of medical school supposed to help?

Re: End of Days - May 21, 2011
Ditto. I don't understand how some people can say the Bible says when the world will end when it very explicitly states that knowing that is impossible.

amen
Completely agree...
to say otherwise is to be a false prophet (profit? lol) and go against Biblical teachings.

while wearing matching Nike sneakers?
Do they still have time for a castration party?
As for me, I guess I'll slow down on my housework just in case

Re: End of Days - May 21, 2011
Wait, so if there is this rapture will we be seeing lots of bodies floating into the air Or will they die and go to heaven? Hmmm....wonder what they'll say if they all suddenly still find themselves here on May 22nd? And who is stupid enough to believe some guy that was wrong before!?!?!?
