So I got to thinkin... why would organized religion openly announce their belief in a prediction that could quickly make people lose faith? Within a few weeks, Christianity could lose thousands, possibly millions of followers... but then it hit me.
prepared4truth - I think any "mainstream" Christians think that the "End of The World" people are just fanatic fruitbats. Doubtful that the Christian Movement would lose anyone that believed in the religion.....

Could it be that "TPTB" are actually working to destroy religion and it's followers? Like you said...when/if this doesn't happen, the church could potentially lose a lot of followers. Could this be by design?
Just a thought...

Neat thought.
Here's where i get off, I believe in a supreme being a "God".
He is not what many religions have painted him to be, he would be kind and loving as he has infinite, omnipotenet knowledge, and eternal fortitude.
Now this "God" i speak of is not afraid of my rifle, The PTB is.
You cannot make something of nothing.

Here's a thought for you my friend...
If God is infinite, that means he would be just as cruel and hateful as he is kind and loving. Infinite means everything, including the "bad" along with the "good".

well then, there needs a lot to happen between today 5-5-2011 & the 21st of May = 16 days distant....
first the antichrist must have been revealed to the masses & of course the antichrist must have already have instituted a Middle East Peace Plan...neither of which are in place for the Rapture of the 'Chosen' to take place.
its a 'humbug' proposal to my sensibilities

The bible is nothing more than a book of fairy tales and this prediction will fail to come to fruition just like the other 293298499238 predictions I read on here and elsewhere every single day......hope this helps.
