Aetheists Saying Judgement Day on May 21st is "Nonsense," Which is Good News I Guess



(CNN) – We've told you about the caravan of RVs touring the country to warn people about the end of the world, which they say will begin on May 21. Now, the American Atheists are mounting a counter-campaign. The group has posted a billboard in Oakland, California - home to Family Radio, which is spreading the "awesome news" that Judgment Day is near - declaring that such messages are "nonsense." "The Rapture: You KNOW it's Nonsense," the American Atheists' billboard announces. "2000 Years of 'Any Day Now.'" The billboard - which cost $27,000, according to the group's website - invites passers-by to "Learn the Truth" at the group's "Rapture Party" on May 21-22 in Oakland. The atheists also plan to hold parties in Houston, Texas, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the website says. "This is how religion hurts people, one of the many ways religion hurts people," American Atheists President David Silverman told CNN Oakland, California, affiliate KGO. "Our hope is that those who are not suckered in will learn from the people who are."

Well now I'm just confused. Do I need to get my affairs in order or not?

I guess I'm inclined to go with the Aetheists on this one.  I mean they've been correct for the last 2000 years or so, so they definitely have history on their side.  Plus they readily took up my idea for throwing a bash of a party on May 21st and 22nd just to spite the repentence fools.  

My only request in all of this is if the rapture doesn't come May 21st, would the End of the World nut jobs at least give me a heads up on there next proposed Armageddon date?  I mean 2 months was really short notice.  One minute I'm out celebrating, day drinking on St. Pattys Day, the next I'm stuck trying to figure out what I'm going to do with the last 2 months of my life.  That shit wasn't cool.  How about a bit more lead time this time around, it is the end of the world after all, kind of a big event.  Most people can't just throw on any outfit and be ready to go, it takes some planning.
