How's your Rapture going?

Asked by TheIntern55 (4260points) May 21st, 2011 from iPhone

Today is doomsday and it’s already 8:30 eastern standard time and nothing has happened. Now I know some of you are 12 hours ahead of me, so you should technically be dead by now. But, I want to know, how are you so far this fine day?

I am just as I expected to be: fine and untouched.

According to Harold Camping, the Rapture will take place time zone by time zone (6 pm local time). None of my friends in Japan have noticed anyone missing, though. Must be all heathens over there.

I just got a report that it got delayed a bit because of the large number of people in China. Things hope to speed up soon, though.

There was a Rapture scheduled today? Sorry, didn’t get the Memo. Am still alive and well.

I just had sex with several cute demon girls. Other than that, nothing changed.

I am throwing one massive party tonight to celebrate….all jellies are welcome…it’s a pot luck so bring your own beer and bullets…things could get dicey around sunset. No telling what this rapture will bring and I expect a few of the guests will be getting out of hand when the moon comes out. Don’t forget your guitars and kazoos! ;)

I got up and checked- yep, New Zealand is still here and filled with people.

Well, it’s almost 8 p.m. here in Moscow, and I haven’t felt an earthquake or seen people spontaneously float into the air, so it’s pretty damn peachy.

@ragingloli I am SO doing that!

Hopefully I’ll have eaten my dinner by the time 6pm hits as I wouldn’t like to be Raptured on an empty stomach

@SavoirFaire Well Japan is full of atheists for the most part. Lol.

Don’t know yet. Still have a few more hours to go in Los Angeles. Fingers crossed!!!

I’m still here. I’m a heathen and won’t be going anywhere today.

SavoirFaire's avatar

@Ajulutsikael Not atheists so much as non-Christians. Plenty of them still practice a mix of Shinto and Buddhism. But yes, I imagine something like that would be Mr. Camping’s reply. Then again, Japan’s Christian population can be pretty committed.

Kinda bored at work, but otherwise good. My garden is growing mostly well so I’m happy.

rock4ever's avatar

Oh guess what it’s past 6 pm and I’m still alive.

I don’t mind still being here, as long as they took AstroChuck

This happened in Austin, Texas back in 2003 after another failed apocalypse prediction:

Herbert Washington, whom co-workers at Significant Plastics Inc. say was unduly concerned with the rapture and the second coming of Christ, suffered a serious heart attack when co-workers pretended they’d been caught away without him.

Last Tuesday, they lay work outfits on their chairs and hid in a supply room, and when Herbert came back from the restroom, he thought the rapture had occurred. The janitor, an outspoken Muslim, pretended to have witnessed everyone disappear and ran around the office feigning panic. Herbert fell to the ground clutching his heart and screaming, “I knew you’d forget me, Jesus! What did I do wrong?” He was taken to a local hospital. The employees emerged, sobered, from the supply room and gathered up their extra clothes.

“We didn’t mean to scare him to death,” said one woman. “He’s just always talking about it, so today we decided to turn the tables on him.”

Washington underwent bypass surgery and is recovering well and “digging into the Bible like never before,” says his wife.
