Interesting that after the End of the World came and gone, they lost 3 followers and 61 tweets. Someone did some serious housecleaning.

It's the End of the World as We Know It, I Feel Fine
Oh, Harold. How I adore your asinine predictions. It is, finally, the End of the World today. I'm really excited to see how this shit goes down, but I'm a little irritated that I'll miss by birthday Monday. Bugger.
Let's enjoy this last day, 1990's R.E.M. style.
We Can't Know is still going strong with their Countdown to Backpedaling. Tomorrow will be glorious, and hopefully full of embarrassed excuses and explanations. This is my nerdy, atheist equivalent of a kid being excited for a trip to the candy store.
We Can't Know has an excellent link on their page to The Backpedaling is Here: No, Really, It Happened! from Ask an Atheist. We're making history here, people. Years ago, it was possible for religions and prophets to make ridiculous claims and they were affording the luxury of fading away into obscurity. Not anymore. It is the Information Highway, baby! Their malarky is meticulously documented and will be remembered until the real end of the world. Historical documentation has reached its golden age and skepticism is improving. I can feel George Carlin smiling down on us from heaven.
This is truly beautiful. All of you need to visit Family Radio's Twitter Page. Here are some yummy ones:
I delight in the use of periods after exclamation points, the letter 'o' in 2011, and the unique spelling of decrees. Unfortunately the Bible does not teach grammar, nor does it offer spellcheck. Also unfortunate is the apparent lack of education from the Twitter poster.
Did it never occur to these people to get their noses out of that antiquated, corrupt book and examine the Universe in reality? For shame, no. And so we will continue to be amused by their ramblings.
I cannot wait to see what they say tomorrow.

Post-Rapture Pet Care
There's one nagging detail about the impending Rapture that needs to be dealt with quickly: what will happen to my pets after the Rapture?
Never fear, Eternal Earth-Bound Pets, USA and After the Rapture Pet Care are here!
...and there may be others. These two organizations are not joking, and they're raking in the dough--well, not really. After the Rapture charges a measly $10, and Eternal Earth-Bound charges $135 with an additional $20 for every animal after that. This raises several ethical questions--will the money be refunded when the Rapture never happens?--but if you're stupid enough to believe in the Rapture, I don't have any sympathy for your money loss.
It's a brilliant business model, really; your gross profit is your net profit because you have no expenses or supplies to buy. Savvy!
I found this question and answer from Eternal Earth-Bound especially amusing:
There you have it, satisfaction guaranteed! Rest assured that your beloved animals will be safe, at least until Earth is engulfed in flames and they fry like bacon with the rest of us.
I just want to know: does Jesus hate animals, or have they all solemnly blasphemed in accordance with Mark 3:29?

Q: How do you ensure your representatives won't be Raptured.
A: Actually, we don't ensure it, they do. Each of our representatives has stated to us in writing that they are atheists, do not believe in God / Jesus, and that they have blasphemed in accordance with
Mark 3:29, negating any chance of salvation.

Rapture and the Great Atheist Bonfire
Only 109 days left until the rapture--are you ready? If you're not part of God's elect, you'll not only not be sucked up into heaven on May 21, 2011, but left to burn to a crisp on October 21. Atheists, gather your marshmallows; it's going to be one hell of a bonfire for us this fall.
MSNBC has a little article on these final days, revolving around Army veteran Marie Exley. This devout believer has moved from her home in Colorado to work for California-based Family Radio Worldwide and says, "... we're commanded by God to warn people. 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."
...right. It's fascinating to me to see otherwise intelligent people believing this malarky so wholeheartedly. What will they think when May 21 comes and goes? Perhaps they'll think they weren't saved and Jesus secretly raptured his holy ones as we heathens report in the news that Nothing Important Happened Today.
Sorry, Allison, but people who really read the Bible usually can recognize it for the immoral, inconsistent babble that it is.
Mhmm, sure. *yawn*
Or... it could mean that it was a bunch of hokus pokus in the first place. There's an idea! How does one go about not being saved anyway? Isn't it supposed to be rather simple, ask Jesus into your heart as your personal Lord and Savior? Seems hard to get wrong.

Allison Warden, of Raleigh, has been helping organize a campaign using billboards, postcards and other media in cities across the U.S. through a website, We Can Know. The 29-year-old payroll clerk laughs when asked about reactions to the message, which is plastered all over her car. "It's definitely against the grain, I know that," she said. "We're hoping people won't take our word for it, or Harold Camping's word for it. We're hoping that people will search the scriptures for themselves." Camping, 89, believes the Bible essentially functions as a cosmic calendar explaining exactly when various prophecies will be fulfilled.
Sorry, Allison, but people who really read the Bible usually can recognize it for the immoral, inconsistent babble that it is.
"Beyond the shadow of a doubt, May 21 will be the date of the Rapture and the day of judgment," [Camping] said.
Mhmm, sure. *yawn*
"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.

Oh, at last! At last!
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it!
I've heard here and there of religious nutjobs throughout history who have claimed to know the end of the world, but most have been dead and proven wrong before I was even born. Save for the minor hysteria of the year 2000, I've not been alive during any predictions (that I know of)--and back then I was too young to be interested.
...until now!!!!!!!!!
On a recent trip out of town, I was thrilled to see one of the billboards hosted by Family Radio.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is officially Almost the End of the World. Jesus is coming back to Earth on May 21, 2011, and the righteous shall be sucked up into heaven. The rest of us heathens will wallow in misery for another 4 months until Jesus straps dynamite to the world and blows it up on October 21, 2011, just a few days before my 27th birthday. Well, dammit. If I had known that this past birthday would have been my last, I would have done something more memorable. Like streaking. Drunk. In a church.
No use crying over lost opportunity; it's time to get serious about our eternal souls. You can learn about your impending doom--or rapture--by visiting We Can Know. For a thorough explanation of how the Bible predicts these events beyond a shadow of a doubt, visit Judgment Day! May 21, 2011. Don't get left behind!
You just don't know how much I am looking forward to this. This is the first time in my life that I have been freed from the silliness of religion so that I can fully be most amused by some End of the World lunacy. To aid in the excitement, Ask an Atheist has created a spoof site, We Can't Know, with a handy dandy "Countdown to Backpedaling" clock.
It is with much ecstatic glee that I will follow this group, and I'll be throwing a "I Survived the Apocalypse" party on May 22.
Ok, ok, let me be serious for a moment. My heart really does go out to the poor Christians who believe this gibberish and are fearing for their lives, especially the young people. Yes, the day will come and go and everything will be fine, but what about the damage done to these people psychologically? What if some of them commit suicide over this? Hopefully they will either (a) believe suicide is a sin and not do it no matter what, or (b) be confident that they are "saved" and will look forward to May 21 because it means they're going to heaven. Consequently the fact that the day will come and go without any catastrophe/miracle may be mightily disappointing.
Anyhow, I am so excited to see what backpedaling they have to say for themselves on May 22, and I hope that the exposure causes many religious to come to their senses and reject religion outright.
