It's inside a granite mountain at Colorado Springs (70 miles S of Denver on I 25). Bitch'en place on springs...

It's called Cheyenne Mountain. It was my first duty assignment. It was certainly a different experience working inside a place surrounded by tons of rock.

I would think it would be a secure feeling except for all the folks outside. With Ft. Carson (and a couple of other "unmentionable" factilities) in the area - it would be nuke central for any nukie attack on us. I think Omaha, NB is next on the fun list.

UARS fell into the Pacific, although NASA does not yet know the exact number of pieces that impacted or their exact location. Hooray for our water world and condolences to all those plankton.

Well, the world did not end today in Corvallis. The Bruins won 27-19.

They'll probably get their asses kicked at Stanford next week though, so that's when the world will end. We were considering the possibility of making a road trip up there, but decided it would be better to face the end in the comfort of familiar surroundings.

oh hey, that's the same preacher. Harold Camping. He sounds less certain this time around. I don't know whether to buy new shoes for the trip or not? :-?

Quote:

He says that the rapture will “probably” be happening on the Oct. 21 date. “That looks like it will be, at this point, the final end of everything,” Camping says. You can almost hear him shrugging through the audio.

They wouldn't let poor rudolph... The other preachers are talking smack about harold:

Quote:

Camping’s latest prediction has a fun quasi-political twist, too. Pastor Robert Jeffress, who called Mormonism a cult last weekend, talked to The Christian Post about Camping’s predictions and blamed Camping for being an alarmist. “I think he is doing Christianity and non-Christians both a great disservice,” Jeffress told Herbert Pinnock. “This is like the boy who cried wolf so many times… I think by Harold Camping continually making these ridiculous prophecies, he is making unbelievers immune to the truth of the true message of Christ and helping make them unprepared for when Christ truly does return.”

As an ex-jehovah's witness, I have been ready for the apocalypse since before 1975, which is the fifth to the last time the world ended.

There were 88 reasons the world would end in 1988, too.

And it did. You people are living in the afterglow of the apocalypse.

How much of this BS should it take before a senile lunatic like this can be institutionalized?

Sterngard Friegen · **Posted:** Wed Oct 19, 2011 2:46 pm

Well, Loh, if he's rich (or has access to a lot of money), it could be he won't be institutionalized until the real end of the world.

I didn't realize women needed an excuse to buy new shoes?

Today we've had two good-sized earthquakes - 4.0 this afternoon and 3.9 a couple of hours ago. Both were centered about six miles below Berkeley.

It begins.

Greetings from the 22nd of October. The special effects from the end of the world were oddly lacking.

HA! I guess you beat us to it. So I guess this means we’ll still be here tomorrow too. Good thing, I have lots to do tomorrow.

Thanks Suranis.

Christian Post Harold Camping Oct. 21 Rapture: Family Radio Seeks to Comfort Believers Ahead of 'Rapture' Tom Evans' Study, Family Radio

Quote:

"We have learned since May 21 that we cannot look at things literally necessarily. May 21 was a very good teacher. And it taught us some very painful, but important lessons. And that is, we can never presume anything. We cannot presume we that understand something simply because we want to believe it. Especially when God uses parabolic language in the Bible and we look at it physically. We must be very careful with how we interpret Scripture, especially when it comes to the character of the end. On the other hand, though our understanding of truth is faulty at times, we must never be ashamed of the truth."

Media attention to Harold Camping:

Scoffers. Today WAS the end of the world. The old world was completely destroyed. But just before that, everything was replaced into an identical new universe, with memories and everything transported to our new identical new selves. The only difference was that angel assigned to me forgot to port over the chips I had hidden in the kitchen. BAD ANGEL!!! :((

Seattle Atheists are preparing to provide aid and comfort to those of us left behind (if we ever wake up again).

Rapture Relief

Quote:

The end of the world is nigh: Oct. 21

Seattle Atheists are here to help!

While the world is tortured in this terrible Apocalypse, who better to help the world than atheists? Elite squads of godless heathens, who already live all over the Puget Sound, will help bring people out of the rubble and rebuild their lives. The Post-Apocalyptic Pony Express will help restore communication service by carrying letters across the tattered remains of civilization, giving humanity hope with the sight of the cutest ponies money can buy.

If there is a universe left after all this, Camp Quest NorthWest, which teaches children critical thinking and science, will receive a check. Why, you ask? Because when children know how to think for themselves, they don't get taken in by every terrible idea that comes across their desk.

Harold Camping is unlikely to apologize, if he follows the pattern of his predecessors over many millennia.
Fundamentalist Christians are not the only religions or sects to have forecast the end of the world. He may not even admit that he was wrong yet again. He may declare that we now live in a world of illusion.

Helpfully, the Maya had already set a rain date in case the world did not end on October 21, 2011. Now we have to deal with December 21, 2012.

LiveScience October 22, 2011 No Show? Preacher's Doomsday Prediction Echoes Past Failures by Stephanie Pappas. It would probably gall Camping that Pappas may have written this article months ago.

Family Radio has not yet posted its explanation of what did not happen. Its current broadcast is hymns, many about "intelligent design."

From Dallas, MannaExpress Online Oct. 22, 2011 Harold Camping STOLE My Parents

Quote:

Dear Mom and Dad,
I struggle with how those who believe these things [about May 21st] could, within a weekend, go from bewilderment and disbelief at not being raptured, to absolute certainty that God meant to deceive and shut their eyes to the truth as a part of a big master plan. God sounds like a jerk. An untrustworthy, deceiving jerk.
...
My mouse hovered over the Send button. I closed my eyes and inhaled...and clicked.

Months passed and nothing happened. No response. No acknowledgment. Nothing.

I don’t know what my parents believe about October 21st, Harold Camping’s latest, lamest doomsday date. I don’t know if they believe my family and I are doomed. I don’t know if the warm, loving, dedicated people I once knew will ever pass through the doors of a church again, or whether they will repent.

Edit: Pastor Harold Jeffress of Dallas' First Baptist Church, famous for his views on Mormons and his attachment to Rick Perry and the Dominionists, righteously said

Quote:

“The Bible says that if someone makes a prophecy that doesn’t come true he is to be considered a false prophet and stoned to death,” he told CP [Christian Post]. “Harold Camping has made at least three false prophecies about the day of the Rapture. And so, if he’s not going to be stoned to death, he at least needs to be muzzled.”
...
Jefress [sic] added that Camping is like the boy who kept crying woIf. If Camping and those who want to forecast a date for Christ’s return continue, the pastor asserted, people will not be prepared when the real Rapture occurs.

Falsehoods unchallenged only fester and grow.
