If you believe it's really "Judgement Day" on May 21 and since you don't need your belongings anymore, you may send your bugatti veyrons/porsche/ferrarris and your precious jewelries to me. Ok, I'm just kidding. May 21 will just be your regular hot spring day.
Actually, Doonesbury's riffing on precisely that this week, with a neighbor giving one of 'em his Mercedes 'cuz he's gonna be raptured on Saturday.

what kind of drugs are they using? ( except of the religious opinions of them ) ;)

If one day is 1,000 years, wouldn't that mean that 5 months would be somewhere around 150,000 years? ETA - And, why are they using the Gregorian calendar to measure months?

It's because they've been possessed by the Holy Spirit & they're jabbering in tongues, that's why we can't understand the "math"

I should bust out the Chinese lion dancing with lots of firecrackers on that day.

There are several post-Rapture parties planned on Facebook... as well as one Post-Rapture Looting event. I'm sure I'd never be eligible to be Raptured, so I'll just plan on living out the tribulation... until the world ends on Scott's birthday. :-)

This means I don't have to work on Saturday, right?

Haha iphigenie! I'm a Christian, and the Bible says that "no one knows the day or hour," so, if they wanted to be Biblical, they already missed it. http://bible.cc/matthew...

The people who want to take the Bible to the literal nth degree in everything just have to keep digging deeper holes in order to keep their whole construct alive. It must be a rather tough exercise, and this is hardly the lowest it will sink. Embarrassing but alas one can understand where they are coming from - Jesus is certainly taking his time, longer than people could be led to expect. No wonder some of them are not averse to help the world down the drain with the politics they endorse :(

if i were god and i had my sense of humor, i would turn up - after all, so many end of world parties should not go in vain... And all the serious christians who are so sure the date wont be then would be so pissed off with me, would be worth it :) (yeah, well, if i were god i'd very much be a trickster god...)

Hey im writing this form may 21 and the judgment day has just started here, really funy ;p ( time zone +2 GMT, Turkey)
- ems
ems: But The Official Word is that it happens at precisely 6 p.m. in whatever your local time zone is, which will be particularly confusing where Daylight Savings Time and Ordinary Time are in close proximity. Oh, and the cycle begins in New Zealand... All of which is equally likely, in my opinion.
- Walt Crawford
Walt, the Line Islands are first, at UTC +14. Tonga is next at UTC +13. New Zealand is UTC +12.
- Rochelle
Rochelle: I'm just sayin' what the "preacher" said...it would start in NZ at 6 p.m. His Bible may not admit the existence of the Line Islands and Tonga, or he may assume that there are no Rapturees there...
- Walt Crawford
Oh, he has so many errors in his story...
