Uh, gang? It's the wee hours of the morning of 22 September in Jerusalem. That means, if you are reading this, you are not one of the elect who was raptured. Oops.
I checked the site that predicted the rapture to see if it had been updated with excuses…and it hadn't. Obviously, this means the author was raptured! Well, cool!
This does have a down side. We're about to enter seven years of tribulation. Stock up on firearms, cocaine, and explosives while you can, you'll be needing them.
There is an up side, though. Have any Christian friends or neighbors? Go knock on their door. If no one answers, they're in paradise — help yourself to their house, their car, their jewelry, that nice TV in their living room. Traffic on your commute should be a little lighter in the morning. The Republican party has evaporated, and the entire staff of Fox News are gone, and the network will have to shut down.
If you were partying yesterday, keep going!

Damn! And I was all set to fool God by pretending to believe in him. I have my religious publications here and I was reading up on why Sudoku proves that evolution cannot work.
Maybe I didn't get raptured because I couldn't help but mock the argument in a recent blog post.

Is there a post-rapture plan for wealth redistribution?
Also, in general, we need a society-wide post-rapture election in case of rapture: all previous polls and elections have been wildly skewed towards stupidity by those who will have been "rapted" (or whatever the participle is supposed to be), and so we will want to have new elections immediately. People, we need a post-rapture committee!

I wouldn't worry about them coming up with excuses. The Rapture has been predicted "soon" for 2,000 years. After 2,000 years, they are well used to making weak excuses and kicking the date out another few years.
It isn't billions of people waiting. Rapture monkeys are only 20% of the US population, from the bottom of the barrel, and it is mostly an American phenomenon. Say 65 million total, many of whom aren't all that serious.

Now I wasted the last 24 hours since I read PZ's post sitting in a room alone so that when I'm raptured away I won't frighten anyone. These apocalyptic prophecies are a big let down. When is the entire gonna be destroyed already ?!

I'm starting to suffer from cognitive dissonance just thinking about this. It is tempting to entertain the thought that all these annoying, ignorant and sometimes dangerously self-deluded fools could all disappear, just like they've been promising for centuries.
On the other hand, it would indeed be disruptive and some of those who were left behind would get hurt through no fault of their own, which means my wish is selfish. On top of that, the event would be proof that despite the many improbable claims and previous lack of evidence, there actually is a God. A Biblical, interfering, psychopathic god that is ultimately responsible for the existance of evil. Refusing to worship the bastard for the sake of principles would be quite the commitment in the face of eternal torture.
It won't happen. It can't happen. It's just that it would be so nice to be rid of some of them... Even if many of us would miss our favourite punching bags around here.

But they also left wiggle room with a 9/23 prediction. Nice goal post shifting.
On Thursday I hope to see the following: "The management of this web site would like to apologize for the mathematical error that led us to predict the Rapture will occur on September 21, 2009. After re-checking our calculations we can now definitively state that the rapture will take place on February 29 in the year 5,987,234,777 AD. Some for any inconvenience this may have caused."

I immediately went and sold everything of value I had, spent the money on cocaine and proceeded to get jiggy with my wife's 18 year old sister. It wouldn't have been so bad if my wife hadn't caught me and cut my balls off with a rusty spoon.
And that was the good part of what happened yesterday.
All this was done on your advice, therefore it's your fault. I will be suing you under British libel laws and American everything else laws. Best of both worlds!

Haven't read through all the comments, so I don't know if it has been mentioned above, but the rapture.htm page, replete with the garish colorings of an interior designer wino on crack, comes out as 199 pages in a browser's print preview.
Yikes! That's 182 feet long. Let's see now. Multiply that by the number of the beast (666) gives you 121212 (something has got to be significant there), multiply that by the date (20090922) gives you 2,435,260,837,464 divide that be 31,485 (the number of lines in the webpage) and you get 77345134.
Turn that upside down and you get "hE IS hELL".
I'm goin' to start packing my bags... Has the bus left already?
BTW: I have to confess. I at first didn't count the lines on the webpage, but for those who must know, it has 29,636 Lines and 1750308 Characters. Line difference from my guess was 1849. Take the square root of that equals 43. Holy shit batman! That's the number of seats on the bus if you include the crapper!

Why bother stocking up on weapons, ammo and MREs, when your Fundy neighbors have already gone to all the trouble (and expense) for you?
I mean, I live in the gun-totin'-conservative Bible Belt, so I should be sitting pretty, right? Supply depots as far as the eye can see.
And, being of a generous nature, I'll be more than happy to share the wealth with those non-Raptured who have the misfortune to live in less religious (and therefore less cache-full) parts. Just get with me after.

Looking at the photos from Sydney, does this mean Smoggy has been raptured?

I will call bs on this guy. Fourth page into this pile of shit, dude has a 'form' you can fill out to receive your very own copy of his Soul Winning System. This has to be either the best or the worst MLM scheme ever. Outside of normal religions of course, hard to beat them at MLM.
And: no, I did not read three pages and change of this shit. Scrolled to bottom to and hit 'next.' Wanted to see how long it went on. I quit at four.

I've just registered the domains rapture2010.org and rapture2010.com. I have a few ideas, but I'm open to suggestions about the content.

You know all this talk of rapture and such has got me feeling down: Atheists dont have their own rapture... could we make an equation/date up to scare a minut percent of the populace in a frenzy. A cult would be good... I could die happy after that

Well of course atheists have their own rapture. Which does require a willing partner of the appropriate gender for full effect.

Looks like he's removed any reference to September of 2009. Site keeps changing as the Rapture keeps not happening. He should just script it to update to the next day. That would save time and keystrokes.

Yes, now the rapture will apparently take by sometime before October 18, 2009.
