This crazy ass church has placed over 3000 billboards like the one below (1200 in the US and 2000 around the world) announcing that the end of the world begins next Saturday (http://www.npr.org/2011/05/07/136053462/is-the-end-nigh-well-know-soon-enough) (heading towards complete destruction on October 21st of this year).
Is this disgusting or what? 3000 billboards times whatever many thousands of dollars that it may cost to purchase these spaces on a monthly basis. This money could have been donated to worthy causes, but instead they have chosen to force this garbage upon us for the past year or so. Down here in South Florida we have this crap towering along the highways every so often.
So what will y'all be doing this week since next weekend is the beginning of the end? I can't decide on whether is should retire to a monastery in search of peace and forgiveness or move down to Brazil and spend the next few months in absolute debauchery.

I wonder if the whole rapture thing will be like being beamed up on Star Trek? That would be so cool.
On another note, haven't they figured out that their planned day of rapture occurs on the sabbath --- Me thinks the rapture activity would be considered work, thus, I don't see it happening - now, maybe on Sunday - but that is the finale of Celebrity Apprentice (Part 2 of the two part finale) and don't see it happening during that either - maybe Monday --- does anyone know if there are any season finale's on that evening? I just don't see it happeniing during sweeps month on tv --- the network execs are too powerfuil - then again, I guess an event like the rapture might also have high ratings - still don't know if it would beat out Celebrity Apprentice, American Idol, or Dancin with the Stars (at least not among many gay viewer demographics)
I really think there needs to be more planning into this whole rapture thing - requires a better marketing crew (I mean those billboards really aren't as attention getting as they could be), their publicist needs to be replaced as pre-event promo has really been lacking --- and who plans a rapture on a Saturday evening in May? Geesh!

I'm just glad that it didn't happen this weekend. I woulda been really pissed if I had to miss the season finale of Survivor: Redemption Island (shitty as this season has been I still wanna see the expression on Boston Rob's face when he doesn't win the million bucks).

A guy in line at the grocery talked about this upcoming biblically historic event.
He said that the Right Reverend at this church informed the congregation that everyone should be sure to check their Rapture tickets, that will automatically appear on their person before travel, and look for the codes next to their names:
AH (Ascend to Heaven)
DH (Descend to Hell)

"The View" co-host, Sherri Shephard talked about this. She said when the rapture was predicted before, she ran up all her credit cards and passed bad checks. She once said the world was flat, only to say she misspoke on the next show. So, we know she isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but she isn't a complete idiot. I just don't understand how people with some I.Q. believe this stuff.
If you tell people you are an athiest or agnostic, most look at you as if you're the one with some mental problem. I'm not knocking anyone's faith, but it should be the other way around. If you believe the Bible literally (men living inside whales, Noah's Ark, we all came from Adam and Eve, the virgin birth story that had been used several times before by other religions, etc), then you should be the one people look at with great concern. But, we live in a country where the majority believe in the Bible's version of creation and deny evolution exists.

"I just don't understand how people with some I.Q. believe this stuff. "
It defies explanation which is why it's called faith.
1. Confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing.
2. Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence.

Well, I guess you are ready for your judgement now -- He had a pretty good expression on his face when he DID win the million. Idiots should have kicked his ass off early -- just like Russell's. Of course, the fact that Phillip actually got ONE VOTE makes the Rapture seem much more possible now.

Such a travesty. These people had no brain. This season should have been called "Amber's Man Gets a Million Dollaz". I detest Boston Rob, but those idiots proved that none of them deserved the win.

But, we live in a country where the majority believe in the Bible's version of creation and deny evolution exists.
ahh, interesting.
let me set the tone of my post first...I believe in God.(stay with me here, don't discount this whole post just because I said I believe in God)
My opinion is that if you believe in only one at the exclusion of the other (Creationism or Evolution) you are being narrow minded. In my mind evolution does not contradict the existence of a God. Why couldn't it be perfectly logical that a divine being used evolution as a method to create the world? (OH NOES! I believe in God but I am blasphemizing the Bible!)
I believe the Bible should not be taken literally, that it should be read allegorically. It's is merely a book of stories and is akin to a book of fairy tales, with perhaps only a few threads of truth in it. The Bible was written several years after Jesus death, by people wanting to get their view of the world out there. The stories were picked and chosen by a select few, those of the Catholic church,etc.. with just as many stories thrown out because they didn't gel with their beliefs.
SO let's take the Bible out of the equation, hell let's take Jesus out of the equation, because did he even exist?
I do not need the Bible to prove to me that God exists, nor do I need Jesus to prove to me that God exists. That's not to say I hate the bible, hell I have a copy in my room.
How do I know God exists? I cannot give you concrete proof, I just know it because I feel it in me. Some believers might know what I'm talking about. I don't need creationism to prove it, I don't need a Bible to prove it, I just "know" he exists.
and just because I had a Baptist preacher yelling at me when I was young telling me that homosexuality was a sin, and that drinking and dancing was a sin doesnt mean that I throw the baby out with the bath water. Who the hell is he? Doesnt mean there is not a God.
The only thing about science and the existence of God is this...Science has determined that everything around us, including us, was created by the Big Bang. If you are a nonbeliever perhaps you believe that the Big Bang "just happened", poof! But come on, what caused the Big Bang? If "nothingness" existed before the BB then what created the nothingness? I don't know, but I know all this just didn't "happen".
So , I hope this post has alienated both the Bible Thumpers and the nonbelievers ;D
As far as the rapture, pfffffft! That's another thing dreamt up by narrow minded Humans. This guys an idiot.

May as well throw another log onto the fire with this twist:
Renowned physicist Stephen Hawking recently explained (http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/may/15/stephen-hawking-interview-there-is-no-heaven) his belief that there is no God and that humans should therefore seek to live the most valuable lives they can while on Earth.

OMG! Nooooooo. Say it isnt so! Oh the Humanity! Well that solves it, nevermind I no longer believe in a divine being. ::)

A part of me believes in G_d. Heck, I even respect Baby Jebus, Mary the Virgin, some Apostles, and some Saints.
The other part of me believes in Science.
I believe in Nature.
I even believe in (many, if not most) humans.
I however am not very fond of religion, unless you view it from a Social Science or Humanities angle.
So I guess I could see the meaning of Wilhemina's post.
It's good to have the freedom to believe in whatever is best for us from a philosophical standpoint. The key thing is to never cross that line where you start shoving such philosophies down somebody else's throat. This foolishness of May 21st and other forms of fundamentalism are expressions of such "shoving" of beliefs, and they are big turn offs even for the most tolerant of us.

Yeah, well let me know when you've been rimmed for three hours by a Santería priest with a live chicken running around in their South Bronx apartment. Now that is religion.

I used to teach a workshop on religion and spirituality. There is a great book called "The Spirituality of Imperfection" in it there is an example of a teacher who says to his class when asked what spirituality is "those who say do not know, and those who know do not say." The class asks what he means, to which he replies, "how many of you have ever smelled a rose?" The whole class raises their hands. He then says, "Tell me the smell of a rose." None of the students can tell him. They can tell him what it smells "like" but not the actual smell. He then says "if you have smelled a rose, you know the smell, it is the same with spirituality - when you got it you know it, but you really can't describe it - thus, those who say do not know and those who know do not say."
Interestingly enough the word religion comes from the word religio which means "to bind up." So, when you have a bunch of beliefs and bind them up, you have religion. The word spirit means "breath of life." So, if you have a breath of life - by definition you are spiritual - some just may not know it.
I think that there are ways to align science with the bible - in ways that make sense. Just as an example: if one looks at the theory of creation it can be aligned with science and evolution, to varying degrees. I also believe that a day to man is a thousand years to the creator - thus if someone literally tries to say the earth is 6,000 years old, based on an interpretation of the bible - I can show where if one day = 1,000 years, then there are 2,190,000 days (365 x 6,000), which then becomes 2,190,000 x 1,000 = 2,190,000,000 (over 2 billion years). 6 "days" of creating the earth would actually be 6,000 years....
Also, the ways that scientists have discovered sediments and fossils is also supported and vice versa by biblical passages - with many scientists believing that if there was a flood of the magnitude described in the bible, it could cause sediment deposits that have been found the way they have (all one has to do is look at the damage and after effects of floods that have happened in our lifetimes on a much much smaller scale). If it was 40 "days" of flooding - that could translate into 40,000 years.
I agree with Will that many of the stories in the bible are allegories and many are truths - it is up to the reader to discern, if they so choose. But anywhoooooo....
Most importantly, for all my rambling above, I also believe in each person's right to believe or not believe and to believe in what they choose. My dad always said the surest way to start an argument is to try to talk religion or politics. BTW, I almost said I was babbling above - babbling comes from babel - remember the tower of babel - man was building it to try to reach the heavens? G*d said if man thinks they can do this - which he knew they couldn't actually reach the heavens - how long is it before man thinks he doesn't need me - thus, he destroyed the tower, scattered man about the earth, and scrambled their language so that they would be in conflict and have difficulty coming together as one - so, when someone goes on and on like I am here, we call it babbling. ;D
For all that I said above, I still don't think there will be a rapture this weekend ;) And why are there two men standing in my office with white coats on getting ready to take me to what they call "a happy place?" It is hard to type with this straight jacket they are trying to put on me.....

What troubles me most about religion, is not the particular beliefs so much, as the idea that nonbelievers are somehow "inferior" because they do not share those beliefs. The whole concept of God, is intriguing to me, because I wonder why some people have the need to believe in a higher power. But no matter what I believe, I would never seek to impose my beliefs onto others and I would appreciate it if they would respond in kind. There also seems to be this confusion between what constitutes faith vs. religion. I don't need a religion to tell me why I have faith, as that comes from inside. What I believe, is what I believe and I resent anyone who suggests that I must live by their "moral" code and too often, that code is called religion.
As humans, we are incredibly complex and everyone is born with a moral compass. What you choose to do with that compass, how you decide what and how to nurture it, has more to do with what you believe and it will always remain unique to you. People seem drawn to religion for various reasons and I see nothing wrong in celebrating your religion, in whatever fashion you choose, as long as you leave me and my personal faith alone.

Yeah, well let me know when you've been rimmed for three hours by a Santería priest with a live chicken running around in their South Bronx apartment. Now that is religion.
And Yoruba... girl, need we bring up Nigeria? You know I'm Yoruban by osmosis. Actually if I'm to go by my ex I'd also have half of Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullāh's nutsack floating in my blood, courtesy of his deceased father's clan.

Absolutely... Since we mentioned caipirinhas earlier today, here's a little recipe:
Passion-Fruit Caipirinha
(Serves One)
Active Time:5 Mins
1/4 fresh lime, cut into 4 pieces
2 teaspoons superfine granulated sugar
3 oz (6 tablespoons) pure passion-fruit juice
1 1/2 oz (3 tablespoons) cachaça
Add lime wedges and sugar to an 8-oz short glass and muddle by pounding and pressing with a wooden spoon until sugar is dissolved. Fill glass with ice and add passion-fruit juice and cachaça, then stir well.

If we all make it through the coming weekend, we still have the coming Apocalypse to worry about! According to the Mayan calendar, the world is going to officially end on 12/21/2012.
I recently saw a piece on CNBC about underground condos and bunkers being built for those wealthy and foolish enough to believe in the hype (remember those scary Y2K scenarios ?). Fortunately for me, there are some bunkers being built in upstate NY: http://www.silohome.com (http://www.silohome.com) complete with food, electricity and water. Gee...maybe I should start stockpiling my meds. :o
I came away from the experience thinking that perhaps some people have to create things to worry about when their lives are comfortable and they have their health... in order to feel whole. (Don't remember this being covered in Psych 101 so it is only a theory).
Or perhaps it is simply more of the same garbage we've been fed for years: "the use fear to control people and make them march to your orders, e.g. "WMD's and mushroom clouds". Lions, Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

Just a little over 2000 years ago, we arrived on the earth for the first time. My name then was Yeshua ben Yosef, or the Jesus of the Bible, the son of Joseph and Mary. Mary's name then was Mary of Magdala, the woman identified in the Bible as Mary Magdalene. Mary was my wife then, and the first person I appeared to after I was crucified (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me4sOR2VhWs).

US atheists offer pet rescue after judgment day
WASHINGTON (AFP) – When judgment day comes -- which some US Christian fundamentalists insist will happen on Saturday -- have you thought about what you're going to do with the family dog and cat?
In 26 US states, you could have them rescued and adopted by enterprising atheists who have set up a business to care for the animal companions of any Christians who are selected to go to heaven when Jesus Christ comes back....
-
This is way too 4th dimensional. I like to think that we are already 'aligned with Eight Dimensional Agreements and Ninth Dimensional Higher Intelligence'. Dont feed the cat early and keep the dog inside please!

It says .......
May 21, 2011, according to loyal listeners of Family Radio, a Christian broadcasting network based in Oakland, California, will mark the Day of Rapture and the start of Judgment Day (which, they say, will last five months). Those who are saved will be taken up to heaven, and those who aren’t will endure unspeakable suffering. Dead bodies will be strewn about as earthquakes ravage the Earth, they say. And come October 21, they’ll tell you, the entire world will be kaput......
Wow.........
Hope may of us in this forum will be taken to the heaven.

Sorry to disappoint you girls and boys - so put those pumps and bonnets back in the closet.
"Nobody knows the exact day when these things are going to happen," Steve Wohlberg, who has written more than two dozen books about the End of Days, told the Daily News (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/2011/05/20/2011-05-20_end_of_days_not_coming_on_may_21_author_steve_wohlberg_says_but_were_heading_tow.html) Thursday.
Wohlberg believes the theory that the world will end on May 21, a date set by 89-year-old Family Radio founder Harold Egbert Camping, is "flat-out wrong."
"He is misinterpreting the Bible," he said. "He's a false teacher."
Wohlberg argues that Camping is taking advantage of the present climate of fear. From earthquakes in Japan to storms in the southern United States to violence around the globe, people are growing concerned.
"They're looking at all of these disasters and everything that's going on in the planet, and this is creating a climate of deep interest in Biblical prophecy," he said. "I think that Camping is tapping into that interest, but he's wrong."
Wohlberg said the Bible does not give a date for the end of the world and Camping's system for determining the date is based on "speculation" that's a mixture of truth and fiction.
As a result, he "makes Christians out to be a laughing stock."
Besides, I can hear that last line coming out of Matty ;)

I'm not sure I understand what the point of all this is supposed to be. Are they trying to scare people into repenting and converting or something or what? And if so, unless you really and truly believe the world's going to end, wouldn't you think that it would blow your credibility with the audience you're trying to reach when it doesn't happen according to your schedule?
And I also don't understand how anyone who truly is all that devout could think they have an inside into the end date when it says in the bible that nobody's gonna know. A god that would destroy the tower of babel is a gpd that would change the date just to spite.
Whatever this foolishness is, it sure is getting some press. The was a story about it on the evening news awhile ago. I didn't hear exactly what...it was just blabbing from the other room.
On the bright side, I really have gotten my house in order today. I have cleaned and organized and washed the car and bathed the dog. You'd swear I had a good sack o' rock, but no. Just good ol' fashioned motivation.

No, its main ingredient is a glutenous glob of 'clay like' mush. If the humidity high it will stick to anything that touches it.

Do we have to go through security screening too? AND, what about carry ons? Can we take more than one bag with us? OMG... too much to think about and not enough time to do it.
Security Screenings = Yes --- although the TSA agents are angels, so their groping is much more heavenly
Carry-ons = Yes Strap-ons = No Extra bags = Substantial fee (however, those being raptured via Southwest Rapture get their first checked bag FREE)
-
Strap-ons = No
What?!?!?!? No strap-ons! That's it. I'm not going. >:(

Now that I think about it, being destroyed in an apocalyptic battle between angels and demons sounds a lot more fun than just dying from some HIV-related complication. Open those seven seals and

Ann, shouldn't you be gone by now? In fact a number of you should be out of here, jeez!
My sister said she would call me by 3 today as she live on the east and me on the west and if all goes as planned, she should on her way out at 6 p.m. est.
Happy Trails!

He wanted me to send all of you his love and best wishes.

Or maybe I'm just giving this crazy too much credit. ???
-
As a person of faith what the Rev Idiot Camping, who just happens to be a self-proclaimed minister with no theological training, is doing really pisses me off! Being what I consider a progressive Christian, his crazy predictions and using Christianity to make millions along with the churches many mistakes, their practice of discrimination and their hypocrisy in so many of their actions, really make it hard to show that there are Christians who interpret scripture in a different way. Sadly I am afraid, there will be those who believe his shit and continue to support him through their activism and money.

Failed Doomsday Has Real Deadly Consequences (http://www.livescience.com/14295-failed-doomsday-rapture-suicides.html)
Harold Camping, the 89-year-old leader whose study of the Bible convinced him and his followers that the world would end, has been described by his wife as "flabbergasted" that the apocalypse didn’t start over the weekend. There are some red faces out there. And if that's all it had been, then one could argue no great harm had been done.
But while Camping and his followers try to figure out what went wrong (or right) — with news Monday night that he now says Judgment Day will come on Oct. 21 — the failed prophecy did more than just damage Camping's credibility: It also appears to have caused death and serious injury to true believers.
A California woman named Lyn Benedetto was one of millions who heard Camping's message, and became concerned that her daughters would suffer terribly in the coming apocalypse. She allegedly forced her daughters, 11 and 14, to lie on a bed and then cut their throats with a box cutter. She then tried to kill herself, though police arrested Benedetto and all three survived.
Others were not so lucky. An elderly man in Taiwan reportedly killed himself on May 5 ahead of the Rapture by jumping out of a building. He had heard that doomsday was imminent, and had taken recent earthquakes and tsunamis as early warning signs.
There were other unconfirmed reports of doomsday-related suicides around the world as well.
This is of course not the first time that failed doomsday predictions have led to tragedy. The most famous pre-apocalypse suicides in recent times occurred in 1997 when the Heaven’s Gate Christian UFO group came to believe that the comet Hale-Bopp was a sign that Jesus was returning, and the world would end soon. Prompted in part by scripture, rumors, and late-night radio talk shows, the group's fanaticism led to nearly 40 deaths.
Camping's failure holds an important cautionary lesson, because doomsday predictions are not going away. Many people, especially those in the New Age community, believe that 2012 will bring global cataclysm. It's easy to dismiss and ridicule failed prophets as modern-day harmless Chicken Littles misleading the gullible, but apocalyptic visions can have deadly consequences —even when they are wrong.
