Do you think this 'disappointment' will be as fun as the 'great disappointment'?

7. Damn, another date so soon.
I thought March 19th 2011 was the date and that we were clear now until at least December 2012?

11. Why doesn't she want to meet her maker? That's the question I want to ask
This is what she says: "I wish I could just be like everybody else, but it's so much better to know that when the end comes, you'll be safe."

12. May 22nd they will just pick a new date. More and more I am convinced that
the religious are insane.

13. have them sign a legal document (and have it notarized) that you take posession of
their worldly possessions and wealth 5/22 ... if they are so true to their beliefs, they'd laugh at you as they sign the document ...

14. to make sure that I don’t miss the rapture
I set up an email to myself to be sent 5/20 to remind me that the world is ending. I also set one up to be delivered 5/22 to tell me that the world is no more

15. Here's a great stunt that I'm thinking of pulling
late on the night of May 20:

Go to a public park in the downtown of a city, with complete outfits of clothing, including underwear, socks and shoes. Find park benches, then set the clothing out to look as though someone was there and suddenly simply dematerialized. Do it in several places in the park. Then go home.

In the morning, when people return to the downtown area...

The idea is something like this:



Seems like it would create a stir, especially if it was done in a number of places. Goodwill has all you need.

22. We probably agree on more than you think.
Writing about things we agree on isn't that interesting, though. It's the controversial stuff that stimulates discussion.

For awhile, I had a blog called "The Rupture Project," which was dedicated to this little street art prank. Nobody came, so I finally pulled it.

16. and what happens when nothing happens?
will the fanatical religious right try to kill people when their sick predictions don't come true? That's what people need to watch out for, the nut cases who believe this shit.

24. I wonder if when this date falls through that woman will decide
to start the family she says she wanted or if the scammer who came up with the May 21st date will keep her reeled in with a new, really true this time I promise, date for the rapture. For some reason, I'm guessing she'll go with the second option. All in all, I guess I should be happy that someone so gullible isn't reproducing.

25. They'll say they "prayed so hard" that God moved up the date
Don't ever expect logic from religious people - its purposefully squeezed out of them
