Christian group awaits fiery Wednesday apocalypse

Tomorrow is the day a U.S.-based Christian group has long maintained would be the last day on Earth.

For at least two years, the Philadelphia-based online church eBible Fellowship has preached that Wednesday will see the biblically-foretold end times, when the non-faithful perish in a final flaming rapture.

An eBible YouTube video posted in March said, "There is biblical evidence that the annihilation of every transgressor will occur on October 7, 2015."

In an interview with the Guardian, eBible leader Chris McCann reiterated that claim and said he was preparing for the very special day. The Earth, he said citing biblical verse, will end in fire.

They move on to a new date ? ... How conVEENient ...

Setting dates left and right, all willy nilly, with no rhyme or reason ...

There's no 'Oh heck - something is wrong with this concept' ... It's only 'Oh heck - I got the date wrong' ...

Every damned time ... There will be another date, then another one, then another ...

Some things never change ...

All we need is about 1% of the nuclear missiles that are ready to launch at a moments notice, launch, and the planet would burn to pieces in minutes.

That's a fact.

Just wondering how much time I'll have this evening for beers. If only one, well I know which one that will be. If two or three, well then I gotta plan that out.

Wikipedia has a very handy list of predicted dates for apocalyptic events

My own opinion is that the world may actually have ended on 1 February 1524 but that everybody was too busy blogging on the internet to notice it

Not to be confused with real evidence. You know, the scientific kind.
