God must be ecumenical then.

Apparently its 6PM not 6AM, but still no mention of which time zone or where it will start.

I haven't ever been raptured but I always carry my rapture alarm just in case.

I read it as being that it will roll around the world starting at 6PM where ever you are.

SO it occurs to me that-

a) it must be pretty weird for someone just on the other side of a time zone divide to see the world ending a couple of miles away, but not where you are (yet)
b) If you want to avoid the rapture you just need to get in a plane or boat and then wait for the appropriate time and then cross the international date line. Then you're crossing from a pre rapture world to a post rapture world and all will be well :)

Idiot! God'll read that and amend his plans! Now we're doomed, and I fueled up the jet for nothing! :roll:

Presumably by "all will be well" you mean "The first trumpet blast will have ended, and we'll be waiting for the whore of Babylon and the beast to rise from the sea"?:P

I so want to rub this in that Harold Camping's face as soon as it strikes midnight.

He knows how that feels - according to my sources, he previously wrote a book predicting the rapture in 1994!!!!

So he's done this stunt twice . . .

Quite. Sadly, I'm fairly sure he can do it at least one more time (He's 89, but he's not looking like pulling up stumps just yet). . .

Oh, and Beid - Treasure this moment. . .

I agree wholeheartedly with what you said!!!!

What are they going to do with all the cars and vans they repainted?

A thought occurs that there will be many sign printers and people that do those fancy car paint jobs will be unhappy now that the date has arrived and there won't be any more orders from the nutbars, they must have made millions from this.

Either a)it didn't happen and anyone who said it would was wrong (and therefore my impulse to believe in this god thing has deteriorated yet more) or b) it happened, and I'm in this heaven thingy, in which case I no longer need to believe...

Well nothing happened, so it's time to start cracking the rapture jokes like there's no tomorrow.

It's not the end of the world as we know it (Yahoo article)
Bookies William Hill had said it would accept bets of any amount at any odds for those wanting to wager on the end of the world.

"We often take bets on the end of the world and we always allow customers to choose their own odds - after all, we don't have to worry about paying them out," said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.
£1 at 2 million to 1 that the world will end on Oct 21st ?
