This may not be the rapture he is expecting...
Once more an apocalyptic douche-canoe's schadenfreude laden dipshittery will result in what William Miller (another end-of-day arse-hat) called 'the great disappointment.)

Every so often, Dork Tower's Igor comes up with a good idea...


Shall we? We can even point to the part in Revelaton where it says only 144,000 will be taken, 12,000 form each of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. (Yes, the rapture is a Jewish event, not a Christian one. Says so in the Bible.)

While I think it is a totally appropriate action, remember that this guy isn't exactly a Literalist, and is getting his scheduling information by going all William Burroughs on the Bible and finding "secret messages" that only he knows how to read and interpret. After all, there is a verse that says something to the effect of "no one but God knows when [the end/the rapture] is coming, and if any man tells you he knows, he is lying to you" (to the best of my recollection, and sadly I can't seem to zero in on it with the Bible Gateway website for a more accurate quotation), and Camping's certainly ignoring that.

And he's been wrong at least once before.  1996, if I recall correctly.
Bob:

"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." --Matt 24:36, KJV 

eta: Apparrently I don't remember correctly; it was September 6, 1994.

Thanks, NifT. But while that's close, it may be a different verse I'm thinking of, since the surrounding verses don't have the "if any man tells you he knows" bit, and I'm pretty sure about that.

Either way, Camping's all about interpreting the Bible his way and like every other nutjob of his ilk will handwave away verses that contradict his personal revelation.

Possibly.  That's the one that gets referenced most often on fstdt.com whenever the rapture comes up in a quote.

Oh, and while we're on the topic, is anyone http://www.livescience.com/14227-raptur ... ay-21.html]going to a doomsday party on Saturday?

And here's an idea I just saw on Facebook, courtesy of a friend's comment on it:

Someone just posted a wonderful idea: people, PLEASE... there is no shame. If you have a blow-up love doll, PLEASE fill it with helium, dress it up, and launch it into the sky on Saturday?? It will be joyous. Thank you in advance.

... If your truely evil, you'd buy one (or more) for just that purpose, assuming you have the resources to spare.

Back to the zombies... The Centers for Disease Control remind you:



Edit: Although I suppose that would apply to the Rapture, as well.

A post over on the SJGames forums has me wondering...

What would a diabetic zombie eat? There's way too much glucose in a brain.

....what if you could get zombies to eat plants? Like in Plants vs Zombies?

But honestly, why wouldn't a zombie eat a plant? Its living, and after eating all living animals, I think thy would start to eat the plants, only living things left after all.

Never mind, a Zombie would not eat a plant, simply because a seed can grow inside of a dead body. The zombie would die from being 'attacked' from the inside.

.....................Well, for my reasoning in that, once a zombie had it full, it would never have to eat again, because the stomach acid will not work anymore in a zombie.

Cells in your stomach secrete acid and pepsinogen so that the enzyme pepsin, which digests carbohydrates, will function. Cells are encouraged to secrete these enzymes only when it senses food particles coming in.

Once you have died, cells die off so there is no real replenishment of food digesting enzymes.

The stomach is dead, just like the heart, lungs, kidneys, ect, but the brain for some reason.
