    Apparently the Rapture is on the 21st. How was this determined? Do any of you believe it?

    If it's on the interwebs it's true.

    Be afraid!

    Harold Camping determined that the rapture was going to happen on May 21st, and then the universe will actually end on October 21st. He predicted much of the same nonsense in 1994 and blamed a "mathematical error" when the world didn't end.

    Here's the "math" for the current prediction (via wikipedia):

    Pretty sure Judgement Day has to be on a Sunday.

    Dude's math must be off again.

    Because some jerk thought he could make money selling books saying so.

    Don't give away your worldly goods yet.

    I'm reminded of a biblical passage...
    I'm thinking that if the incarnate Christ didn't know when the world was ending until He was resurrected and glorified, some numerologist isn't going to figure it out on his own.

    For example, why just square the product when in the hebrew repetition 3x is what makes something superlative? "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord GOD Almighty". Et cetera.

    Well, you can give some away to those in need. That's always acceptable, whether or not some jerk is writing books.

    That world will eventually end due to either natural causes or our own destruction. That quote is just a good way of predicting that without giving it a solid time frame. Nicely done, Christians!

    it's more to say "Stop worrying about when the world ends or eschatology or what the 'third heaven' means...live the way Jesus said to live and the rest will happen as it happens without intervention or prompting from us"

    Why can't I live the way I want to live (within the law, of course)?
