Warning, sinners!!!! God's gonna end the world today........and he means it this time!!!!!

Really, the eBible Fellowship sez so, and they're using Harold Camping's predictions.

Read on, fellow Unsaved:

While our planet may have survived September’s “blood moon”, it will be permanently destroyed on Wednesday, 7 October, a Christian organization has warned.

The eBible Fellowship, an online affiliation headquartered near Philadelphia, has based its prediction of an October obliteration on a previous claim that the world would end on 21 May 2011. While that claim proved to be false, the organization is confident it has the correct date this time.

“According to what the Bible is presenting it does appear that 7 October will be the day that God has spoken of: in which, the world will pass away,” said Chris McCann, the leader and founder of the fellowship, an online gathering of Christians headquartered in Philadelphia.

“It’ll be gone forever. Annihilated.”

And, that bit about Harold Camping?

The expectation of the world ending this fall stems from an earlier prediction by Harold Camping, a Christian radio host who was based in California. In 2011 Camping used his radio station, Family Radio, to notify people that the world would end on 21 May of that year. When that turned out to be incorrect, Camping revised his prediction to October 2011. That also turned out to be incorrect, and Camping retired from public life soon after. He died in 2013, at age 93.

McCann believes that Camping’s 21 May 2011 prediction did have some truth, however. That day was declared to be “judgment day” because it was actually the day God stopped the process of selecting which churchgoers will survive Wednesday’s massacre, McCann said.

Following 21 May 2011, God turned his attention to deciding which non-churchgoers to save, according to McCann. The eBible Fellowship believes that God said he would devote 1,600 days to this task – bringing us to 7 October 2015.

So, I guess we're pretty well screwed........

Oh, Mrs. Betty Bowers, America's Best Christian says:

I've hired unsaved security guards to patrol my many Christian homes after the Rapture. I'm not about to reward sinners with Louis XVI vitrines.

You gonna argue with America's Best Christian???

how do we know we weren't the ones left behind? Have you checked on any super-religious family members or friends? Are they all present and accounted for? If not, they've probably been Raptured at last, and we can all party on like it's Doomsday 2015.

Sadly, this is the 61st time I've been left behind. I guess I should get with the program and start earning my way to salvation. Who knows how many Raptures we're going to get? It's not like there's an endless supply of those things, you know.....

Oh. Wait.
