How are you celebrating the rapture?


I’ll be in Oakland, California at the American Atheist Rapture Regional Atheist Meet! I can think of no better way to herald in the end of the world than blaspheming with Rebecca Watson, Greta Christina, Matt Dillahunty, and Mr. Deity. If any of you are coming, make sure to say hello!

Not gonna lie…I think I’m most excited about my slumber party at Greta Christina’s house. My new goal in life is to sleep at a bunch of atheist blogger’s houses, apparently.

If you’re in the Seattle area and looking for something to do before the earthquakes and brimstone strike, I highly suggest you check out the Countdown to Backpedaling: The End is Nah! party in Tacoma.It’s at Dorky’s Arcade (754 Pacific Avenue) from 8pm to 1:30am, featuring a bunch of musical guests, including my awesome nerd-core skeptical rapping friend Three Ninjas. It’s $10, which is totally worth hanging out with godless people listening to nerdy music in an arcade. I know a lot of people from the Seattle Atheists, Seattle Skeptics, and Tacoma Atheists are going, so it should be a blast. I’m pretty sad I can’t go, so go for me!

    I’ll be on a trip with some of the kids from my school, off to see a bunch of fireflies at a park outside Taichung, Taiwan. Personally hoping that if it happens it won’t be earthquakes, instead the fireflies will suddenly grow immensely and consume us with their fiery bums. Either that or we’ll be crushed by a giant Mal Reynolds descending from the heavens (because Nathan Fillion is god…)

    I’ll be at a wedding!  I couldn’t imagine a more fun atmosphere for the end of the world.  Surrounded by friends, love, and alcohol!

    I’m celebrating by donating to Damon Fowler over at ‘the friendly atheist’ blog chipin link. The rapture (cough spit) won’t happen and we are best advised to carry on as if no one had ever mentioned it. Go on, chip in, it’s the right thing to do.

    I’ll be not caring like pretty much every other Aussie in Australia, so I’ll be working on an assignment that is due on Monday, when the world doesn’t end.I really lead a fast and exciting life.

    I’ll be at work, but the activities you’ve described sound fun. Have a great time at the sleepover!

    I’ll get to be at work. (Hm, if it does happen then that might mean the rest of the weekend off though :)

    It’s 6:03 PM in Adelaide right now. The rapture appears to have been some thunder about 5:45 and then a little rain. No reports on rapture people as of yet, but considering that there hasn’t been anything from the East I’m going to assume that nobody was raptured.

    I am going to be quizzing my rapture-believing friends who are also joking about this weekend’s planned mass-ascension as to why they think the guy who had the gumption to assign a date to the event that they all believe in is the crazy one. Participate here:http://spencertroxell.blogspot

    In South Africa (where I’m at) it is now officially ten minutes post apocalypse. YAY!

    I have evidence to show today was just the False Rapture. I know when the real Save the Date is!

    I made sure I was sinning at the projected moment of Rapture.  Just in case.  Wouldn’t want to get accidentally abducted by Jesus.

    I was listening to Alter Bridge at 6pm at Rock on the Range in Columbus, OH. When Staind went on later that evening, the lead singer commented that either 1) the Rapture didn’t happen or 2) Armageddon wasn’t so bad.
