The End of Days is March 18, 2031. Have you found Jeebus yet?

Here's how I know:

The fundies are pretty sure everything works on seven-year cycles in Revelation. So, we'll use that.

On March 19, 2003, George W. Bush invaded Iraq. The night before he did, he gave a speech in which he told the Iraqi people not to damage the oil industry. From Christian eschatology: "When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, "Come and see!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four beasts, saying "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not damage the oil and the wine!" So...let's consider Dubya the Horseman of Famine, which is a pretty apt description of him, and go from there.

On March 18, 2010, we were visited by the Horseman of Death. According to Democracy Now, the Republicans were fighting the HCR bill and a rocket attack happened in the Gaza Strip on that day, so we'll take it even though that's not much death.

On March 18, 2017, lots of fundies will announce they're being persecuted for their religion. Okay, they do it anyway so that's not much of a description.

On March 18, 2024, the sun will turn black, the moon red and the stars will fall out of the sky.

On March 18, 2031, Jeebus will send all the Harold Camping adherents to hell and the world will be a better place.

Remember: you heard it here first!

1. There are so many ends of the world floating around. Can't they be consolidated?

The nutcases should get together and decide on a single, common last day of the world. If they refuse, then they should be denied all media attention -- but in case they agreed, they should still be denied all media attention.

2. Camping is now saying it is this coming Saturday.

Something about Noah taking seven days to load the Ark.

Personally, I think he sopped one digit too soon when he used pi in his formula.

3. I hadn't heard that one...

I know Camping is predicting October 21 as the End of Days. Now he claims Saturday was a "silent judgment" and the merciful God is going to spare the world the five months of torture called for in Camping's original prediction.

I can't figure out that with all the people who sold all their possessions, quit their jobs, gave away/murdered their pets, and drove all the way across the country to be with other Camping True Believers when the Rapture didn't happen, no one's tried to kill him yet.
