World ending in May 2011?

If not the correct forum, please move this thread.

Yet, another end of the world date.
You have probably seen these ads about "world ending" in may 2011 on Facebook, on your email, on a pop-up, ect. What do you think of this? I am not an atheist, but I personally think its just another try of religions to gain more followers. Ive read that the guy that started this is an evangelist, Harold Camping. He also said that the world was going to end in 1994 (which obviously failed).

What's you opinion on religions always trying to set a "judgment day" date? What do you think of 2012? What do you think of Nostradamus?

Here are some failed predictions.

September 6, 1994:
Radio evangelist Harold Camping wrote in a book called "1994?" his own entry in the Apocalypse Sweepstakes: "if this study is accurate, and I believe with all my heart that it is, there will be no extensions of time. There will be no time for second guessing. When September 6, 1994, arrives, no one else can be saved, the end has come." He currently has a new end-date, October 21, 2011.

2004:
We have an Apocalypse two-fer here! Watcher Ministries based their date on the return of Jesus on an analysis of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Donna Danna & Clay Cantrell based his date for the Rapture on the dimensions of Noah's Ark. One only one (or none) could be right!

I'm sure you all knew about this, don't have to explain.

Don't really believe all this stuff. Even about 12/2012 etc.

When the ends gonna come its gonna come.

 

[Coinshare]

NEVER heard about this theory until you posted and I'm pretty active on the internet..

 

[Travis]

I heard its may 11th 2011. Not that I believe in it.

 

[Mythbusters]

They say its may 11th because apparently in The Bible it refers to this date, not directly but through either symbolism or metaphors. (not quite sure).
I don't think its gonna happen

 

[Bubba Fuzz]

Nope, after the 50th time they predict the end of the world and it doesn't come true it's not worth wasting your time to follow it. 5$ We will be here the day after...

 

[HappyFace01010]

I predict the world is going to end in 1 day.

It's the same as all the other randoms claiming it end soon. I bet every day of the year someone has claimed to be the end of the world. It's total rubbish to me.

 

[Zero_Rush]

the world will end when it ends.
so just live your life to the most and you should be all set if it does come to an end
no regrets

 

[DGTurtle]

Yeah it end's when it end's
Im sure we will know when it's going to end because it will show major sign's
such stuff like japan earthquake and tsunami but 5x bigger and all across the world

World never ends!!! Humanity ends! Evolutsion wins!
Some day there is some kind animal almost like us was, and he find my computer hard disk and use it to cut things! :

 

[Korasi]

Ok guys, I want ti clarify that I dont believe in this stuff.
Even if this was going to happen (its not), havent we always been told that god love us? Why would he want us all death then? Its pathetic.

[Lured Yah]

People who say the world will end in may 2011 are retards...
the world will end in 2012 as everyone knows.

 

[The Don Kiluminati]

It'll end when it ends, no one can predict the future.

 

[sith kid]

Oh so it's May 2011 now, is it? Facepalm.

 

[salvatii0n]

To be honest if every year someone says it will end the following year eventually someone will end up right. =P

but seriously, I do feel the world will be ending some time soon, by natural means, man-made means or by the choice of the deity, not in a few years or even a decade, but close in the scheme of things possibly within the lifetimes of my children or grandchildren.
Being a Christian and an A-level Religious student, I look into the Bible quite alot and I don't think God and/or the people who wrote the bible would have put in secret mathematical formulae to predict the end to specific days.

 

[oblivion9032]

Just people who want attention.

 

[I_Mail_DMT]

I believe there will be a transition; but not that soon and I don't think the world will end.

They just hype up a lot of other shit to keep you distracted from whats really going on.

You say this for real?
