16. NO. All the True Believers, The Chosen Ones are Gone!
Now go and tell every False Believers the True Believers have been raptured, and that THEY were NOT in The Chosen Ones crowd, no matter how long they prayed, and that God Has Left Them Behind to suffer and die like the rest of us.

:rofl:

19. =D
And most importantly, tell them there is no point opposing freedom of choice, GLBT marriages, cannabis legalization and taxation, anymore. God Will Never Come Back To Save Them EVER.

2. Since California is also on the Pacific Rim,
it's supposed to be Rapturing us here too. If they just said they were all leaving that would be nice, but I just know those freeps are just praying for San Andreas fault to crack off into the sea.

3. It is not yet 6pm in California.
It's supposed to happen at 6pm 'where you live'.

4. Is that daylight saving time?
Standard time? Apparent solar time? Mean solar time? Sidereal time? Ephemeris time?

Surely God doesn't measure things by time zones dictated by earthly governments?

8. All I know is that I read that it is going to happen at 6pm everywhere. local time.
Like 6pm on the east coast.
6pm in Texas (central time).
6pm on the west coast -- etc.

Sound pretty nutty to me, but the WHOLE THING is pretty nutty ;)

10. the wiki article, fwiw:
The 2011 end times prediction made by Christian radio host Harold Camping states that the Rapture (in premillennial theology, the taking up into heaven of God's elect people) will take place on May 21, 2011<1><2> at 6 p.m. local time (the rapture will sweep the globe time zone by time zone)<3> and that the end of the world as we know it will take place five months later on October 21, 2011.<4> Camping, president of the Family Radio Christian network, claims the Bible as his source and says May 21 will be the date of the Rapture and the day of judgment "beyond the shadow of a doubt".<5> His followers claim that around 200 million people (approximately 3% of the world's population) will be raptured.<6>

15. 200 million?
Damn, that's a huge step up from when I was raised as a Pentecostal. I know it was nowhere near 200 million. If I remember properly, they used to tell us that it would be a surprise if we directly knew anyone who would experience it personally, since so few are deserving of it.

30. The Camping Guy said California would feel the earthquake from New Zealand
Maybe because he is in Oakland. This way he could be in on the first of it. Ha Ha

6. I can't help but feel sorry for the Campingites
Had they actually read Matthew 24:36, they'd have known Harold Camping was full of it -- but sadly, they didn't.

9. I bet the family of that retired transit guy is pretty mad at him for spending his $140,000 savings
on all of those billboards/signs.

12. We all laugh, myself included,
but you make a good point about the pain that this nonsense will cause for some people.

14. The rapture has happened.
Everyone who lives their life as Jesus instructed them to has gone to heaven. Since no one has been taken to heaven, well, I think you can figure it out.

21. Clearly nobody in New Zealand deserves to be raptured...

They're apparently going to put up a sign in the hills
outside Wellington that will read "WELLYWOOD" in the
style of the HOLLYWOOD sign.

the first to experience the rapture! Who knows for sure? It's 4:40am in Buffalo, NY and a dense fog is forming outside. :) It certainly looks creepy out! I can't see across the street.

27. Were you standing nude ALONE in your apartment?
If you used the Rapture as an excuse to get some hottie to strip naked with you, then I'm afraid you're disqualified right there.
