The OP's question sounds like a great pickup line :biggrin:

"Hey baby! how are you spending your last night on earth? Lets capture the rapture together!"

So are most Christians into this May 21 2011 thing? What does the catholic church say?

Is there an exact time for this rapture?

From the Wikipedia article...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_end_times_prediction

"Camping has not been precise about the exact timing of the event, saying that "maybe" we can know the hour.[20] He has suggested that "days" in the Bible refer to daylight hours particularly.[20] Another account says the "great earthquake" which signals the start of the Rapture will "start in the Pacific Rim at around the 6 p.m. local time hour, in each time zone."[21]"

Answer to first question- no.

Second- By definition "true believers" must believe in this date and cut off ties to any church. The Catholics are probably more concerned with finding a tasty burger.

Can you imagine if, by coincidence this guy had predicted this on the day of the Japan Tsunami or something? He'd have more followers than Lady Gaga.

Ironically he's going to create more atheists than Dawkins ever hoped to.

So how long after May 21 will he start saying that May 21 was the START of the rapture? I see him claiming that one day for a god isn't the same as one day for us. It could actually be billions of Earth years for the whole thing to end. But the start clearly was tomorrow.

Some google "Last night on earth" on Youtube. May or may not have to insert U2 at the end:).

Blocked at work here.

Hot date lined up for tonight, but those stupid sinuses are still bothering me. How embarrassing to have to say "Not tonight dear, I have a headache" and have it really turn out to be the very last night :( . Oops.

supposed to have a date, but nothing was set in stone... probably going to ping him in a bit to see what he's up to.

hopefully if said date takes place, it will involve getting laid, which seems like an appropriate last night on earth :p our last date progressed to the oral level, so actual sex on the subsequent date seems like the natural progression.
