I don't know about you guys, but when the world ends, I will be sitting on a lawnchair laughing at the nervous people, drinking Tequila and not giving a damn.

But you can't be serious, OP.

I mean you watch a youtube video and you think the world is going to end? That's fucking retarded. The world isn't going to end and if or when it does, it will probably be an explosion by the sun. I mean do you realize how long they have said the rapture will come? How many antichrists there have been? Imagine being a peasant during the Crusades, the Black plague, in Europe during Napoleon, Hitler? It is just silly.

I'm Christian too and I assume you may be as well.

Nobody knows the exact date save for God, so ignore everything you read/see/hear that proclaims to know. We may know when it's near - but that's it.

I love those end of the world things. I can't wait to see them on the 22. Maybe they'll be recalculating to get the "accurate" end date.
However, to answer straight out, no. It's never. :hug:

I am pretty sure, though, that debating the existence of a rapture, as well as the truth in religion, is not at all relevant to discussing a video and its authenticity.

I'm not even religious, so I am not doing this due to insecurity.
When debating me or discussing something with me, remember five things:
1. I'm not moderate.
2. I'm not fascist/a nazi.
3. I'm conservative on social issues and liberal on economic issues.

Yes, but I don't think he wants someone saying "Hurr hurr durr, no religion durrr derp"




At least come up with a positive and intelligent debate for it other than "no".

So saying rapture is not on may 21, 2011 because there is no such thing as rapture, is not intelligent?

Just saying "There's no rapture" isn't debate, and it isn't even much of a proposal of logic. It's just a blank statement.
