Ah, I see. Well, you never know, he could spawn near us in a crossover. :p

(And we are wildly off-topic.)

Edit: re: Aliens, Occam's Razor is your friend, Humanity. I know aliens are cooler than an empty, lifeless void for hundreds of quadrillions of miles, but, seriously, give the Egyptians some credit for their hard work and engineering principles. :p

;-; A girl can dream!
*thrusts arms to the sky*
Beam me up, O sky lords!

Suzerain of Sheol 05-25-2011 08:06 PM

I've never known anyone to be *excited* about being abducted by aliens, before. :p

sorry not alive im a zombie know BRRRRAAAAIIINNNZZZZZ

CupcakeDolly 05-25-2011 08:42 PM

Really? I'm sure there's cults galore dedicated to the idea.

Oh! And I forgot - the Rapture, all those people floating up to heaven and so and so, is actually going to be the aliens picking up the successful human experiments and taking them back to their own planet to become slaves.

There, all the craziness is out. For now.

Suzerain of Sheol 05-25-2011 08:44 PM

Wasn't there a movie about that? Had Nicholas Cage in it?

CupcakeDolly 05-25-2011 09:10 PM

Umm... possibly. I'm an avid non-fan of Nick Cage, so I wouldn't know.

Suzerain of Sheol 05-25-2011 09:19 PM

I'm an avid non-movie-watcher, so I'm not even sure how I ended up seeing that. :p

Hermes 05-26-2011 12:23 AM

God him/her/them/itself says that only they/it will know the date. <.< Fer fail, religion nuts.

I'm religious myself, but I dun go that far...

Suzerain of Sheol 05-26-2011 12:41 AM

But, imagine the self-satisfaction of being completely convinced that you know the mind of God. :p

Hermes 05-26-2011 12:51 AM

I just imagine him, telling all these people God is coming for them, using fear, and the warped faith of the modern age, to spur these people into either panic or resignation, some cutting themselves off from all worldly things, while he sits comfortably in his home, raking in cash from all the media and donations.

You know, I'm an intellectual, and I dislike violence. I would rather change your mind than break your arm.

But this is a man I would LOVE to punch in the mouth. Just straight up, knock him out. XD

Suzerain of Sheol 05-26-2011 12:55 AM

I find it kind of sad to think about the people who buy into this sort of scam. This guy could be using his time on earth to make their lives better (since their lives are apparently so awful they can't wait for the world to end) but, no, instead he goes about propagating this ludicrous pseudo-mystic nonsense and calling it prophecy, all the while taking advantage of these poor people and the vulnerable positions they're in.

It reminds me of the Papal sale of indulgences, in a way.

CupcakeDolly 05-26-2011 12:56 AM

...Hermes' description actually sounds a lot like what I imagine most organized religion to be.

Hermes 05-26-2011 12:59 AM

Sadly, it's about right. It makes me sad to think of how much GOOD people could do....and just don't...

Suzerain of Sheol 05-26-2011 01:02 AM

It's human nature. As soon as you add the "organized" part to organized religion, it stops being a personal spiritual matter and becomes a force in the world with an infrastructure open to corruption.

Lunaryon 05-26-2011 10:57 AM

Corruptrion... The strangest of things. It can strike anyone, anywhere...

Nanka 05-27-2011 05:42 PM

They are saying it is in October now. How exciting. :/

Suzerain of Sheol 05-27-2011 05:52 PM

I'm no psychologist, but it can't be a healthy mind that actively wants the world to end.

And thanks to living in the information age, these people can find each other and propagate their insanity together, which seems to serve to multiply the suicidal, apocalyptic zealotry that gives these people a sense of meaning in their lives.

*sigh*

Lunaryon 05-27-2011 08:53 PM

Well... Maybe They'll all go crazy and make a mass Darwin award. I'd hate the loss of life, but if it can save thousands of people headaches... The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

I feel dirty saying things like this, but they need to be said.

Suzerain of Sheol 05-27-2011 08:55 PM

I was... trying not to go there. But, yeah, natural selection and all that. Not gonna say much more on that topic. Though, the fact that these people are still around might be proof that evolution is false. :p

Lunaryon 05-27-2011 08:58 PM

Meh... Maybe it's a hidden gene or something? Craziness always exists in the world. What i'm dreading is one of these days they're going to be right. And afterwards, I'm going to have to listen to those who are left behind as they brag about being right. *shudder*

Suzerain of Sheol 05-27-2011 09:14 PM

Heh, I'd worry more about a sudden catastrophic solar flare or a gamma ray burst than about the Christian Eschaton ever coming true. I'll hedge my bets that the sun burns out before the Rapture occurs.

Lunaryon 05-27-2011 09:14 PM

But aren't there supposed to be ZOMBIES? I wanna see some ZOMBIES!

Suzerain of Sheol 05-27-2011 09:17 PM

Truth be told, I haven't read the Book of Revelation since I was 13 or so. I can't remember if there are supposed to be any malignant living dead. It wouldn't surprise me, though.

Lunaryon 05-27-2011 09:27 PM

I've never actual got that far into the Bible. The sermons I had to go to never went into it. And now that I'm not even Christan... Yeah, I'm not reading it now.

CupcakeDolly 05-27-2011 09:31 PM


If the world did end, I would want it to be in the way of the Mayan prophecies, with the age of technology ending and the beginning of an age of spiritual enlightenment and creativity. No zombies for me, thank you very much. I would die. A very horrible death. D=

Lunaryon 05-27-2011 09:34 PM

Id survive the Zombies. I know all their is to know about zombies, I've played just about every game with zombies in it.

CupcakeDolly 05-27-2011 09:37 PM


I'm a terrible shot with a gun - or I assume I am, since I've never fired one before - and I have mild asthma. I'd rely on my boyfriend to protect me, and we all know what happens to that couple in a zombie movie. ;;

Lunaryon 05-27-2011 09:40 PM

I can shot a gun okay, and I'm a fast runner. But the real way to survive a zombie apocylpse is to be smart.

CupcakeDolly 05-27-2011 09:43 PM


I got that part covered. For the most part. I think. <_<;

Look!!

Lunaryon 05-27-2011 09:47 PM

I has much like of that. Cracked is an amazing website.

Suzerain of Sheol 05-27-2011 09:49 PM

I'm in the odd camp that wouldn't even try to survive a zombie apocalypse. I just... don't see much of a point. Everything good about life would be gone anyway. I wouldn't want to live in a world like that.

Lunaryon 05-27-2011 10:01 PM

Meh... I Don't want to die.

I know, I feel exactly the same. I keep saying that I would just let the zombies have me, because there's not much point. Life would become all about hiding and scavenging and fighting and running and... surviving. =/ It would be pretty pointless, compared to the mostly charmed life that we get to live now.

Lunaryon 05-27-2011 10:06 PM

I don't know. Going cross country escaping zombies sounds like a great way to met cute girls.

Suzerain of Sheol 05-27-2011 10:09 PM

Methinks someone watches too many Resident Evil movies. :P

CupcakeDolly 05-27-2011 10:13 PM

I didn't get it! Where did those girls get eyeliner in a post-apocalyptic desert?! Are they hoarding the last of it?! Do they really need to look that good for the zombie raids?! Gahh!

Lunaryon 05-27-2011 10:13 PM

*Blush* I-I have no Idea wha-what you're talking about!

It's particularly bad in the 4th movie, where Alice rescues Claire, who's been living in the wild for weeks(?) and in the next scene she's had a complete makeover. I mean, did Alice not only take the time to clean her up, but to apply some her a precious, secret apocalyptic makeup hoard?

Then again, who's really going to loot a beauty salon during a zombie apocalypse? :p

Lunaryon 05-27-2011 10:22 PM

Is the fourth one the new one? I truthfully have only seen two of them. The new one, and I think the first one. I have seen various scenes from the other Resident Evil movies, as well as a lot of other zombie movies. I'd be the Zoey of my Left 4 Dead crew, and I'd have a pistol in each hand.
