I'm talking about these sick, child-abusing assholes.

"It scares me a little bit because some people are going to die, and I think I'm one of them," she adds. "I'm trying to do good things, but I'm afraid I'm doing something bad."

-- Arianna Ramrajie, age 7

That young lady should be taken away from her father, who is a sick fuck. All these people should be in jail. Look at Herold Camping's senile goddamn mathematical proof that what he's scaring children with is true.

quote:

The number 10 or 100 or 1,000 signifies completeness. For example, the Bible speaks of 10 coins or 100 sheep or 1,000 years. God speaks of Satan being bound 1,000 years in Revelation 20:2-3. However, from much additional Biblical information we know he was bound between the years 33 A.D. and 1988 A.D. These 1,955 actual years are symbolized by 1,000 years. The Bible speaks of Him being bound 1,000 years to signify that He was bound for the completeness of God’s plan, which actually was 1,955 years.

Wait just a cocksucking minute here, Einstein. You're saying 1000 = 1995... BECAUSE? I mean, why, exactly does one thousand equal one thousand, nine hundred and ninety-five?

Isn't anyone in law enforcement at least a little concerned that Arianna Ramrajie, age 7, might end up dead on May 21st, poisoned with her siblings, by her bugfucking whacko goddamned father?

If I were absolutley sure the world was going to end on a specific date, I would certainlynot waste my time being so miserable.

I'd be painting, sculpting, making noise, dancing, wallowing in sin...

Y'know?

Living.

These people are dangerous. To children, if to no one else.

fanaticism is always detrimental to the entire species.

Proof:

There is a funny saying in spanish that goes: 'I'm not worried. If the world ends, I'll just go to Yucatán'. These people might have taken it literally. At least they'll have great italian meals while they wait... hopefully the last one won't include spiked Kool-aid.

If someone has to go around doomsaying for a specific date, they ought to have the decency to kill themselves when the date passes.

They should at least be required to drive around in their custom-painted RVs for another year or 2.

Now you're talkin'.
If you use terror as a control device, you should be subjected to the same.

Oh Yeah!

As you drive into Mbabane, the capital of Swaziland, there's a huge billboard proclaiming May 21, Judgment Day...

So in other words, hanging out with me?

Edit can paint and sculpt?

Folks on the Rapture Forums are pissed off about this. To them, "soon" and "within my lifetime" are perfectly acceptable temporal descriptions, while May 21st, 2011 is not.

I particularly like the (5+17+23)^2 in Camping's math - because, y'know, 5, 17 and 23 are all numbers symbolizing destruction.

Numerology is a fun game, if you don't take it seriously.

The Seventh-day Adventists I grew up with used to claim the Pope was antichrist because he had a hat with Vicarius Filii Dei on it, and if you add up the Roman numerals in that you gets 666. It did not amuse them when I showed that you can do the same trick with the name of Ellen Gould White, the religion's founder.

Chopper Read: (shows his fingers) Mate, 5 and 10 are numbers symbolizing destruction. (flexes his trigger finger) So's one. (points to where his ears were) fuckin' Zero as well.

The denizens of "The Rapture Forums" calling that guy nuts is just TOO FUNNEH!

And for the comfort of some believers:

Read FAQ's, too.

What a great idea!

If they actually die on may 21, 2011, at least they'd keep their promises. And they'd make my day.
