Judgement Day: May 21st, 2011

[Donegeal]

I just heard that Judgement day doesn't start until 6 PM in each time zone, so we have time before it starts in Japan.

I believe it starts in Jerusalem at 6 PM, so we've got some time yet.

I'm hoping one of my neighbors is raptured, he has a great Audi I want.

[Docfeelgood]

Are they gone yet?

If there really is a God, you'll be the first.

This sucks. Here I was thinking that I'd get to see the raptured people taking off first, and brag about it on poly... but now it turns out God is going to ignore timezones and make them all equal. Communists

Actually, the claim is it will be a "rolling Rapture." There will be a huge earthquake in Jerusalem at 6 PM, and it will roll across the globe, hitting each time zone at 6 PM. Why God's wrath would adhere to time zones made up in the 19th century, I don't know. And come to think of it, that's going to be one slow-ass earthquake if it takes an hour to get to each time zone.

It should have started by now, huh?

No, 8 hours from now, if it starts at 6 PM Jerusalem time.

This is still no better for me.

I wonder if one were to straddle the eastern edge of the Jerusalem time zone if you could like, break out of the rapture into an alternate reality. Kinda like when they fly across the international date line in the Langoliers...

Prophesy: Harold Camping will be dead or out of the country within the month.

[Boris Godunov]

He's 89. The End has been Nigh for him for years.

[Adagio]

Just typical... ending the world on my 30th birthday. Unfair, then I don't have time to use my gifts

[OneFootInTheGrave]

happy birthday

[Adagio]

Thanks, always great to be greeted in a "End of the world" thread hehe

I think its being done by time zone. Imagine the bother of trying to sort through 7 billion people at once. It would take a miracle!
