So this dickhead actually believes in a god who created the universe but is constrained to follow man-made time zones which only date back to the 1920s. I don't know who is a bigger shithead. Him or his god.
Come on Minimalist, did you really expect to get from the Bible an exact number of days and hours?
The only thing that can be really known of the past is the passing of years: though the number and length of months varied from place to place and through time, passing of the year was always visible (the winter, when it's time to plant seeds or seeds X, etc.). And the Bible doesn't even specify anything about a number of hours or an X'th hour or something. Getting the end-of-the-world date is always through forced interpretation, whose method of finding does not convince any reasonable man. Otherwise we couldn't get thousands of dates until now.
Anyway, I wonder why people regard "the end of the world" as a scary thing... I mean, if the earth would be destroyed next month, what's the point if you die tomorrow in a car accident? Or what's the difference between the earth being destroyed with all its inhabitants and you being killed by somebody else? (for you, I mean)
There's no point to fear "the end of the world" either way.

I get the impression that none of them honestly believe that the end of the world is really going to happen on May 21, and they're just trying to see what kind of reaction they can get from the rest of us.
I mean, you really don't see anyone selling everything they have and throwing a huge party, or even giving that money to the poor.
I guess the point is to frighten people and make them convert so they would not go to hell. And to fascinate the gullible christians that thirst for fantasies.

Um, I expect nothing. It's these xtian shitheads who keep making these absurd pronouncements.

Possibly, but when that exact date comes & goes with nothing happening, do you think these recent converts are going to keep taking you seriously?

Nah, that's next years end of the world. Seriously.
There's actually a huge billboard on the way home from work about this May 23rd nonsense. It blew my mind I'm Canadian, this shit is supposed to be below us. *sigh*

Most won't. But the few whose brains are so retarded that they would continue to have "faith" in defiance of evidence even such as this makes up the central food group that sustains the continued existence of fringes of christianity

I guess like a good con artist you can always claim that you and your followers prayed hard enough to get God to change his mind.
It's happened before. "Brother" R.G. Stair made a prediction that the Tribulation would occur in the late 1980's, and when it didn't he claimed that God changed his mind. And yes, he still has followers.

Only 7 days left. LOL You know i read in the past whenever there was a claim that the Christ would come back some people are so stupid that they sold their houses, everything actually. Why? Do they need a pocketful of cash to greet Jesus? can you imagine how foolish they felt when their hero never showed? Wonder what Harold's excuse will be?
