The funniest part is that none of them actually believe it. If you genuinely thought the end of the world was immanent then you would running round like crazy letting everyone know and preparing. They sat here put up a few posts and I bet they all went to work or whatever else they had to do..
Now that's faith for ya.

Could you give an exact date/time? I want a good seat when I watch nothing happen.

I'm wondering why GC seems skeptical. Is this whole god business only believable when he's the one making claims?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

GC's skeptical because he thought god told him that he would be the prophet to spread the word.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Who's laughing? Us obviously. Still.
We've been laughing at you for centuries, can't see a time when you stop making us laugh.
Now if you really believe the shit you spout, then you should have no problem giving me all your money and worldly possessions will you? You won't need them after all.
Religious nuts have been claiming the world's going to end for hundreds of years, nothing has ever happened. We've lived through all 'end of the world' dates. Feel free to add more dates, but it just supports the fact that you don't know jack shit. It also demonstrates that you don't use evidence, you're lead by belief alone and just look at how many inaccuracies there are as a result.
So yeah, we're still laughing.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

History has been an endless parade of people claiming that they have intimate knowledge from god that the world is about to end. The world has not ended. Therefore another person claiming the exact same thing probably has as much truth to it as past claims under similar circumstances.
Conclusion: The world is not going to end because you had a dream.
