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.

Never a mention about pesky time zones.
No sign of it here yet, but I am sure when it does not happen we will have the usual religious bollocks about date calculation being wrong and they will be back with a new bogus date to terrify its gullible followers.
Ah well! Let’s discuss it in the morning!!
These Christian “prophets” should learn some basic science before making stupid predictions. Have these people never heard of Harold Camping just a couple of years ago ? I reckon he died of shame having made 2 wrong predictions about the end of the world. And his company having fleeced many of his followers of their hard earned savings and assets. Bastard.
Funny how they miss the bit in their own bible which says at Matthew 25:13
Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
Opportunist atheist perhaps!!
What the May 21, 2011 claim was false, why didn’t anyone tell me
They also predicted it for the 23/24 September of this year. They make mega cash off the fear porn.
yes, its 0720am on 8th oct in Australia………. still here…..
Gosh, I feel like we have wasted an entire day again. We did everything we were supposed to do. We stocked up on some great deals from Jim Bakker on 5 gallon buckets of dehydrated survival food and water… ordered extra bibles… did oodles of praying stuff… bought extra ‘Merican and Confederate flags to fly… sacrificed a half dead squirrel we found in the yard… posted “Praise Jesus” and “Pick Us, Pick Us, We Wanna Rapture Too!!” signs in our yard… Stocked up on assault rifles, grenades, rocket launchers and tanks (go NRA, Woot Woot!!)… yet here we still are with all our computer machines hooked up to our internet tubes, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, yet nothing?!?!?! I mean, REALLY? Fer Realz? There is shit I could have gotten done today if I knew we were still gonna be here tomorrow. And I wouldn’t have emptied out all our savings accounts and given the money to everyone we passed on the street until it was all gone. Damnit!!
I’m telling ya Cletus, this is like the 100th time we have gotten ready for this and it never happens. If this keeps on happening I am gonna maybe start wondering if’uns they might not know what in the hell they are talking about with this whole world blowing up thing? Ah shore dooo hope they get it right soon though!!
BTW folks, if you’re wondering how you are going to survive the lean days ahead, Jim Bakker (of Jim and Tammy Faye fame) has an awesome deal for survival food going on right now! His ‘Time of Trouble Tasty Food Offer’ is a 7 year supply of food with a 20 year shelf life, and it’s only $3,500. It looks to be a veritable plethora of culinary delights. The Italiano Marinaro looks exquisite, the black bean burgers sound yummy, and they even thought to include whey milk and cheese powder so you’re set to ride out the apocalypse in culinary style!! It’s normally a $8,055 value so order now with your credit cards before the price goes up or the world blows up and you can’t get them any more. Even better, order a few dozen of them cuz you know that you’ll be able to sell them for 10x the original price when everyone else doesn’t have any food.
see you all tomorrow, same bat time, same bat channel
Nearly midnight in London. Bugger, I had better put on the fire proof suit and the life jacket. The eternity of suffering awaits me. Pascal’s wager ‘n all that, I had better be prepared !
I am ROLLING at this. xD
OH SHIT!!! SHE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW I EXIST!!! (SOB!)
PS The Millerites said the same thing in 1844… and 1845… and 1846…
These people are followers of Harold Camping.
Are we there yet?
Hello, I’m still here. I’m wondering if I should eat dinner?
I guess I can skip my healthy heart diet and go for the gravy.
Stop bragging. Its not over for me yet. I still have about nine hours left.
Should I start drinking now?
The only thing that I missed on my preps was the squirrel sacrifice……..damn……………
I know. Since I was going to die, I ate a half gallon of ice cream that day.
I still feel like shit……….I’ll never do that again…………..
Camping predicted not the imminent end of the world but the start of the rapture, when those who were to be saved were going to be lifted up to heaven, while the rest of us sinners stayed put.
I remember at the time one enterprising chap started a business offering to look after the household pets of the rapturees, after their owners departed, for a substantial board and lodging fee payable up front 🙂
But are you prepared? Surely you know that the Maya were far more competent at predictions than the Xtians!!

Acan does not sound too bad a chap!
Anyway – in the UK your time has run out!
Not again! Wait must of already happened and I didn’t notice. My wife is always telling me I miss important details.
I quit smoking a couple of weeks ago, was really tempted to start again knowing it would have no effect now, really glad my lighter had run out of gas.
John WB, I really like the idea of the Rapture, getting rid of a lot of dimwits and wasters so the rest of us could get on with enjoying life and having a better chance of saving the planet with all the climate change deniers off on some inter-galactic prayer fest. Now only if Islam had its version of it.
I’ll settle for a Chicago Cubs victory.
That’s the part that you think is funny about them???
That eventuality would certainly signal the end of the world!
Who’d miss it?
Well, for about 160,000 people it was the end of the world, yesterday.
Hmm… still here. Again.
I forget, what is the benefit of falsely prophesying the end times again? Is working up the faithful in such a way truly productive or desired?
Let’s be fair and scientific about this. In at least one of the universes, it happened. We are technically both alive and dead right now. We may mock in this universe but think about all the poor bastards in the others. 🙂
Ah! The unshakable confidence of faith-thinking!
It does not matter how many times they make fools of themselves, no learning takes place! – Only the retrospective semantic mental contortions and “reinterpretations” of the TRRrrrooooo believer!
Yes, it is ridiculous > the end justifies the means, errrrr.
they’re playing the numbers game though. every time they get it wrong the odds are greater that next time they’ll be right.
Either way my latest capital venture is to make t shirts with the slogan “Told you so!” should make a killing. everyone can wear it with pride one day regardless of what they were predicting
They based this prediction working from Harold Camping’s May 21, 2011 date. Apparently that was judgement day, not end of days! Shame he isn’t still alive to witness their latest forecast failure!
I think it’s more simple than that. These people are just nutters. Not everyone on this planet is sane even though we tend to give the benefit of the doubt to most until proven otherwise. If there wasn’t any religion they’d just find something else to be insane about. I just wish one of them would leave me his house and car next time.
So this is Thursday…
If this is heaven, it seems much less fun than promised. Actually, it’s pretty sh*tty to be honest.
Well, I guess it sort of did end for Billy Joe Royal, Gail Zappa and Kevin Corcoran.
I will prophesy that the day will come that one of these doomsayers will be proven right.
Then there will be much gloating and they will all say: ‘See, we told you so! Over and over again, but would you listen? Noooo. Now look who is so clever.’ Of course they’d still be dead wrong, or rather, dead.
Waiting for Godot. Is he here yet ?
I don’t like Harold camping,I prefer John hotel or,for last,mike bed’n’breakfast ..religious likes predictions,they need to give sense to their nonsensed’s lives

I guess stuff likes this should be proof of how…”illadvised” it is to follow religious ideas instead of science. But noooooooo…
‘Twas an existential, philosophical question.
Well. It happened.
Don’t think much of the replacement.
They just forgot to carry the one in their calculations.
Next time, they’ll use a calculator.
Hmm, I’m still here, maybe reality is a dream or a delusion.
How about Harold Glamping, same end of the world, but with catering
George Berkley rides again!
On Wednesday 7 October 2015, Planet earth was destroyed by Vogons to make way for a hyperspatial express route. This Earth you now find yourself on is a replacement provided by the dolphins in their Save the Humans campaign.
So what went wrong? Was it the calculations or the fairy stories they were based on.
Has somebody compiled a list of false alarms to point to any time anyone tris this infallible gospel prophecy gambit?
What happened in the Arsenal match that day?
The problem is they only have to get their prophesies(guesses) right one time to set science and atheism back for another hundred years or so !
Obviously not an end of the world prophecy but say ” Belgium suffers a big earthquake” an “an Englishman becomes king of Jordan”
yes . there are thousands of them through out all history and cultures.
Most of these prophets of doom, have so little understanding of astronomy and planetary sciences, that they don’t know, how the Earth formed, don’t know how the Solar-System works, and have no idea what a “world” is!
Their whole “world”, is the ego-centric delusion in their own heads!
These are not all bible based predictions but it is an interesting list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events
The fools have got it all wrong; it’s going to be next Tuesday!
A person I know of, retroactively incorporates “correct predictions” to bolster current “teachings” – based on, as you say, just very general things.
A common trick; this might be covered in Sagan’s and/or Shermer’s ‘Baloney Detection Kit’.
A bit like the pope “Leading the world on climate change” – while actively promoting the population explosion!!! – and of course “fighting poverty” – while sitting on a golden throne, encouraging the birth of children into impoverished communities who cannot feed their existing families!
I think it’s better. Ireland would never have beaten Germany in the old “real” world.
Right now is Sunday 11th October; has the world been destroyed last Wednesday? Why am I still here? Or perhaps the world was destroyed and I was transferred to a parallel universe. Who knows.
Ooooops!!
