Apocalypse 2011Update: Apparently when I heard 6 p.m. that was the time it will be in New Zealand where the first earthquake will supposedly happen. That would be 1 a.m. CST.
I'm skipping Fawk You Friday to bring you this special Apocalypse Post. If I survive the end of the world, I'll be back with all my Fawk You's next week.
Ok, so is everyone ready for the end of the world? I heard that it's ending at 6 p.m. on Saturday. Did everyone else hear 6 too? Just wondering. I wouldn't want to be late for the Apocalypse.
So, I would be a liar, liar, pants on fire if I said I wasn't
Logically speaking, I really don't think it's going to end. I mean, how many times has some religious nutjob predicted the end of the world? Far too many. But, you just never know. Maybe this particular nutjob has a direct line to Jesus, who gave him a friendly heads up.

Ok, now that you've done that, back to my Apocalypse anxiety.
Do you know that there is not an actual psychological term for fear of the Apocalypse? From what I've read, fear of death (thanatophobia) is the nearest term there is. Go figure.
My eldest Drunken Midget has inherited my fear of the Apocalypse and I spent part of last night trying to comfort her. She is spending Saturday with her dad, and let me tell you, if the world ends and I don't get to see her beforehand cuz she was with him, I'm so going to haunt his ass. Or if I get turned into a zombie, he will be the first person I eat. There's actually a lot of people I'd like to eat if I ever get turned into a zombie. Like the woman at Goodwill who asked me if I qualify for their senior citizen's discount (WTF?? I'm 38 for fuck's sake!). I really should make a list.

If the world does end I'm gonna be
All right, well, I'm outta here for now. Maybe forever. (Unless they have wifi in hell) I'm going to try and be Zen about the whole Apocalypse thing. If it happens, it happens. There's nothing I can do to stop it. And if there's zombies I know I'll fail the #1 Rule of Zombie Apocalypse Preparedness: Cardio. I'm so out of shape I could never outrun a zombie so no matter what happens, I'll pretty much just taste delicious.
Laters!
(I hope)









A brilliant post as always, but gosh, I'm sure having been a (fanatical)Christian 'helped' the whole Apocolypse anxiety. Stick to the wonderful Goddess and keep Zen, all is well! x :o)
ReplyDeletetake me up to the spirit in the sky, where i'm goona go when i die, when i die and they lay me to rest...ok, enough singing, there will be a post rapture party, maybe someone will qualify for the flight...the blue angels are here this weekend, kinda hope not them as i dont want fast moving military jets smashing into things when they lose their pilots...
ReplyDeleteWhile you're planning your zombie menu, you've got to remember than zombies prefer brains. I don't know about you, but that leaves out all of my exes.
ReplyDeleteFor reals? I haven't heard about this....but I'm glad you told me because today, I'm going to spend all of our money...drink myself into a coma and go out on a happy note...naked with a dope pedicure! ;)
ReplyDeleteCatch ya on the flip lover!
I have to admit, I'm not all that concerned. I know I'm not going to be taken and I figure most of the people who will be raptured will be those who annoy me (I'm kind of looking forward to it). Not sure why an apocalypse has to follow the rapture. Can't we all just enjoy the peace?
ReplyDeletehey, hey, I have a question...
ReplyDeleteSince I read my Bible, but not 3 hours a day, and I only do church things twice a week, you probably know this...
Since this whole rapture thing is supposedly based on (blah blah blah) Christian (blah blah blah), isn't it in the Bible (that this supposed christian reads) that no one will know the hour, time, day, etc., of the rapture and that it will happen like a thief in the night? I mean... if you KNOW a thief is coming, don't you like put extra bars on your windows or something?
I'm just really confused as to how someone who supposedly reads the bible (and believes it) says these things and can pinpoint a date.
ALSO... I thought the world was supposed to end in september of 1987. Or 1992. Or 1994. Or 1999.
I don't really take much stock in this.
Are people in Africa scared?
Raven, great post! Give me an idea to post also.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the May 21 thing dates back to the Mayan Civilization. Will have to check my notes and refresh.
Babies baptized in the Holy Roman Catholic Church should certainly go to a nice place...did you have to sell those Christmas stamps?
I did!
Ellen
I actually planned my annual Houseaversary party for 7pm on Saturday, before I had ever heard of this rapture date. I'm totally bummed that I am planning for 20 people and some of them will be killed in the big earthquake. Oh well, more for us perfect Christians I guess! (hahaha-I kid of course. I'm def going to hell. See ya there!)
ReplyDeleteDeborah~ Thanks! Yes, the fanaticism really did fuel my Apocalypse phobia, for sure. Though after reading about this guy who is predicting it I'm not so afraid anymore. He's a bit of a wackjob.
ReplyDeleteYes, the Goddess and Zen are good. :D
Brian Miller~ Well, if the Rapture does come, I'm attending the Facebook post Rapture looting party. lol And no, not good to have planes crashing to the ground and all that. Not good at all.
Mama Zen~ Bahahahaha You're absolutely right. I didn't think of that. The lack of brains totally rules out my exes too.
Boobies~ LOL Now that's the way to go out!! See ya in hell!! ;)
Anne~ I go back and forth. After reading about the guy predicting it I feel better cuz he's a bit of a looneytunes, but in the back of my mind I keep going, What if? Then I panic again. Yeah, it would be heavenly to get rid of those annoying fundamentalists, wouldn't it?
Miley~ You are totally right. The Bible does say, in several places, that no one will know the time of the Rapture. That is the main thing that is keeping me from totally panicking. Logically I know that the world isn't going to end, but like I said, it's that little voice in the back of my head going, 'What if?' that won't let me totally relax.
It's amazing what people will believe and what they will do for those beliefs. The people on this current end of the world crusade have left wives, children, etc. to go on the road and spread the word of the 'judgment.' It's crazy.
Yeah, the guy that is predicting the world will end tomorrow originally predicted it would end on Sept. 6 1994. But, he claims his error was due to a mathematical miscalculation. lol
Ellen~ LOL I didn't have to sell the Christmas stamps cuz once my Mom had us baptized she pretty much figured we were good and we never went to church when I was growing up. hehe She did somehow, however, still manage to instill that Catholic guilt in me.
Kaylen~ LOL Well, for the sake of your party, I hope the world doesn't end. ;) And if it does end, you can turn it into a post Rapture party with everyone who is left behind. heheh
Thanks for the comments everyone. Hopefully we'll all still be here tomorrow!
The world can't end yet. I have an open bag of cheddar potato chips I haven't finished, and a Netflix movie for Sunday. Plus, I'd have to clean house if Jesus comes over.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the old prune who predicted it all? He doesn't know what day it is, let alone when the last day is.
There's not even anything in the bible about any stupid ass Rapture. Or zombies, which is a shame. But it DOES say no one knows the day or the time, not even Jesus. But this nutjob does? Please.
Yeah, notice how everyone happens to have a direct, two way phone-line to Jesus except us? I feel left out.
ReplyDeleteNot.
Bwahahahaha sorry not to laugh in the face of your misfortune or anything but blondie and I had a discussion about this earlier on msn and when I made my status something to the effect of a zombie apocalypse is more likely than rapture here's her response: Oohhh
ReplyDeleteZombie apocalypse!
I vote that one.
Yeah, I heard like "The dead will be raised"
and I'm thinking: Oh yeah, party with the messiah guys! ahaahahahahha (You can see more of our convo on my blog today haha rapture is on my happy list and your doom list- sorry girl, your mama didn't screw you up enough like I did my girls so they could make fun of crap like this.)
I'll see you later whatever happens cuz I am not going anywhere unless my kids toss me to the zombies. ;o)
Fireblossom~ Bahaha well, surely Jesus can't come until you finish that bag of chips. ;) Yeah, after reading some more about Camping I wasn't so worried. And, now that 6 p.m. passed in New Zealand, which is where it was all supposed to start, it's pretty obvious we're safe. At least until 2012.
ReplyDeleteAmanda~ LOL I know, right?
ddiva~ LMAO love your convo with blondie! Yeah, I'm pretty sure that when the Apocalypse does comet there will be zombies. I have my list of people I want to eat all ready.
I'm making my entire RTT jokes my father and I made about the Rapture. It was awesome. He wanted to buy a bunch of blow up dolls, fill them with helium and film it for YouTube.
