"The Bible is quite explicit in stating, in Matthew chapter 20, that no man knows the day or time...any true Bible scholar would understand the pointless exercise of predicting an exact date and time for Christ's return...in this same chapter, Jesus also warned that there would be many false prophets to deceive the elect...now, THAT sounds more like what's going on here..."
May is going to be an exciting month of paranoia and last minute life fullfillments, if the world doesn't end on the 15th due to our own crazed obsession I'm going to *crag*ing laugh hard at the reactions of these fear mongering shitheads when they realize their magical book of prophecies didn't live up to what it said.
I want my 15 minutes of fame. Apparently to get on the news all you have to do is pick an end-of-the-world date and get a handful of people to back you up. But pick a date 6 months in the future so by the time it comes everyone has already forgotten. So, you all with me? I can see the CNN headline now: "Gaming fan site turned cult finds patterns in Super Paper Mario that predicts end of the world. Leader Francis demands hawt babes to appease the wrath of god"
well shrowser you have to take into account that most history classes past 9th grade teach about European history, which is largely a christian oriented timeline, and hat most people here are well into highschool by now.
That's great and all, but it's just common sense. It's not like me or anyone that I know in a Christian community talks about the end of the world or anything like it's a big deal. People who take the Bible literally are idiots, it's supposed to be a book of parable-like stories, not direct word from God.
God damn it Shrowser. People can know about Christianity, still be Christians, and not be a crazed intolerant YOU'RE GOING TO HELL kinda person. We already kinda realized that super-religious people, Christian are not, are morons.

"If May 21 passes and I'm still here, that means I wasn't saved. Does that mean God's word is inaccurate or untrue? Not at all," Warden said.
Always have an out.
