everybody's looking forward to armageddon
The world's supposed to end at 6:00 PM (18:00) your local time tomorrow. I don't really believe it; the guy who predicted this also said it was going to happen in September 1994. I'm not saying I don't want it to happen though. The way things have been going lately, I need something like this.
But I digress. What are your thoughts on the impending apocalypse?

I don't want it to happen because if it happens, i won't watch MLP's second season (oh and i won't live a full life blah blah blah). Althought i'm sure it won't happen. I mean, it's absolute bullshit, you can't be sure about the doomsday date.
Plus, the real doomsday will happen when the Sun grows and becomes a red giant. THAT will be the absolute Doomsday. In fact, quoting from Wikipedia.
Originally posted by WikipediaBefore this happens, Earth's biosphere will have longbeen destroyed by the Sun's steady increase in brightness as its hydrogen supply dwindles and its core contracts, even before the transition to a Red Giant. After just over 1 billion years, the extra solar energy input will cause Earth's oceans to evaporate and the hydrogen from the water to be lost permanently to space, with total loss of water by 3 billion years. Earth's atmosphere and lithosphere will become like that of Venus. Over another billion years, most of the atmosphere will get lost in space as well; ultimately leaving Earth as a desiccated, dead planet with a surface of molten rock
Then the sun will become a white dwarf, and that's all, our solar system is gone. Quite depressing ending, if you ask me.
Still, we have to wait five billion years for that. We'd be gone so long ago.

I personally don't think this is true. They've said loads of different times the past that the world is going to end and it obviously hasn't ended for any of them, so most likely this time wouldn't be any different.

I won't allow the world to end before E3 2011 and MLP's second season.

Are you sure of that? I don't think it'll hurt that much if it'll be over in seconds and some of us will be asleep

Tomorrow is supposedly the day of the Rapture. No one will die. What will SUPPOSEDLY happen is all true Christians will go to heaven and those who are left behind will live in a world where Jesus is in a 7 year war with the Antichrist, the son of Satan. If Jesus should win, he'll rebuild civilization and we can all get on with our lives.
How do I know all of this even though I'm an atheist? There was an episode of American Dad about this very concept (the episode was in season 5 and called Rapture's Delight).
Of course the entire thing is bullshit anyway so nothing will happen.

September 1994, eh? That's awfully close to my date of birth, August 12th, 1994.
Anyway, it's bollocks.

I saw that episode. I'm all confused by god and everything. I never went to church, nor did my parents discuss any of it with me.

Ugh, I don't know what religion Harold Camping (the guy who started this rumour) follows, but it certainly isn't Christianity. Christianity states that we will not know when the world will end.
When nothing happens tomorrow, I have no doubt that Camping will publicly announce that he made a miscalculation, and that the world is actually supposed to end on May 21st, 2028. May 21st, 2011 will simply become the mid-date between September, 1994 (the start of his 'end of time' age), and 2028, the actual date the world will end that countless biblical tests will (once again) prove to be accurate.

@Roy: It was incredibly close to my birthday, just one day off, in fact. Also, Camping not only failed to predict it once, he failed to predict it ten times.

See my post in WoI:

The world better not end tomorrow because I wanna watch the new Deadman Wonderland episode and play my new games once I got home.
The world can't end because too many important things are happening today.

Another flaw with this is the whole time of the end. I guess the world will end at 18:00 first in the east and then slowly spread west as it hits 18:00 across Asia, then Europe, and then North America?
If so, then the world's airports will be inundated with calls for flights to the U.S.

People keep saying the world ends in 2012, now they are saying it ends tomorrow, and as a few people said it would've ended in 1994.
My conclusion: this is complete bullshit.

Didn't you know? The people who created the time zones were very close to God and knew what he wanted.

It would be pretty wicked if it actually rained fire and killed us though, as much as we know it won't. Nothing says "I love you" like a gigantic fireball to the face.

Oh no the world is going to end after all! It was said that the end would be preceded by waves of reckless paranoia!
Except not.

I don't recall it ever saying we're going to die. It just says its the second coming of Jesus Christ. Regardless though, party my house on Sunday!

I don't want it to end because this week's Left 4 Dead mutation is fun as hell. M60's with UNLIMITED AMMO! It just can't. You know how funny it would be if it happened?
