So what do you think the excuse will be this time when we get to that date and nothing happens?

I dunno. "He got delayed due to interstellar traffic?"
"He changed his mind?"
"He ate a bad burrito and it blew right through him?"
"He and Satan got baseball bats and started beating on his Dad?"

"He was testing our faith. Those who did not believe are not His true followers."
Something like that?

"I meant December 21, 2012. And if that doesn't work out, We'll just hang on for another eight years and then we can celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of The Late Great Planet Earth."

Same thing that happened the last 4 thousand times it didn't happen, they'll just shrug and ignore it, and when the next guess at his coming pops up, they'll cling to it just as hard as all the other failures

I want to know how they come up with these dates. Throwing darts at calenders? I wouldn't say that fully . They for some reason seem to have a fixation for 20s. Mainly, the pattern I see is 21, 23 and 28. Dunno if there is a significance to those particular numbers though or if they are just numbers pulled out of their ass. |

Some will place a date at Rosh Hashanah because they think that God works on Jewish time. Because they don't actually observe Rosh Hashanah, and don't really have a cultural reference for it, they will refer to the calendar date as "The Feast of Trumpets". Since the Rapture is supposed to be provoked by some sort of angelic blowing of a horn, they associate the two together.
This date is set for May, but if you ever see a Second Coming prophecy set in September, it is most definitely associated with Rosh Hashanah.

I saw a bumper sticker that had the same exact date on it today. The guy also had a bunch of anti obama stickers as well.

Colorado Springs? I'm oddly tempted to head out and find that bench and post all the other dates that have been predicted over the years but then passed without anyone magic showing up.
Hopefully, at least the bus won't stand people up.
