May. 21, 2011.
Word has it that the world is coming to an "End" this Saturday. I personally find it amusing that people go around spreading that we are all about to die. What's more hilarious is that the date the world is supposed to end changes so often. For the past few weeks each time I'm heading to work there is a group of people in the train station announcing that May.21,2011 is "Judgment Day." Like who are they to declare such things? These people really believe themselves. They have shirts with the date printed on them, they have fliers and handouts .. and my question is FOR WHAT?! I have thought about asking one of them how are they going to feel when they go to sleep that night. It's amazes me how they are so comfortable even trying to except that they are about to die (So they believe). I'm not so much of a church goer but I do believe in a higher power. As I get older I find extremely confusing trying to figure out why people believe their religion is the "Right" one. There are so many, so how are you to be sure? I do not believe in any of these sayings because it will just fill my mind with fear and I will not allow that to happen. Not that I am not afraid but I am young and should the world end some day soon I want to be satisfied with the way I lived my life. According to MY own belief's and choices and mine only.

I don't understand it either. I mean, shouldn't you be out there doing the things you never got to do before? They claim it's the end of the world and are preaching about it everywhere as if we can stop it from happening. I find it funny as well that people are wasting so much time behind that. If the world has to come to an end, then it has to come to an end; nothing is written in stone. I am not of that religion and I don't criticize, whatever one believes then so be it. But as for me, when that day comes it comes and like you said, I want to be happy with the way I lived my life as well. We cannot control what is destined but the things that are going in the train, with the preaching and the posters can be a little overbearing. When the world comes to an end, they are going too so it doesn't make any difference if you talk about it to the people or not or how religious you are. Well the day is Saturday, and this Camping guy has been wrong many times before. He takes donations from his followers to talk about it on a radio, print the pictures etc. But, we shall see on May 21st. Oh I looked up a link with more information. You can check it out if you like.
