As many of you know, the end is nigh! (Rapture is slated for tomorrow, in fact, so very nigh indeed).
Or so a California-based Christian radio host named Harold Camping and his ecclectic set of followers would have you believe. Last night over on big Salon, we ran a piece by my colleague Steve Kornacki about how he fell for Camping's Doomsday schtick last time around, back in 1994 (to Steve's credit, he was a young and impressionable teen at the time). So, now that the end may well be upon us (again!), it's time to fess up: Have you ever bought into a doomsday prophecy? Were you ever convinced we were headed for Armageddon? Are you secretly convinced that Camping is right about May 21, 2011? Blog about here on Open Salon.
Be sure to tag your posts "my armageddon fear" and try to post them by 6pm EDT tonight. After all, who knows if any of us will be around to read them next week. (Full disclosure: I likely will. I think my lifelong atheism probably confirms my spot among the left behind.)

bec Kalikaal began and we know we are knee deep in wrong doing and there will be a change - it's happened all the time in human history over a certain time periods.
and shd it be time to die - know that the world loved - you guys decided not to love anyone back is why you got wiped out -
Some of us have lost virtually everything we treasure already. Armageddon has no hold over us.
Can we write about cupcakes instead?
Thank you.
Yours truly.
THE END OF THE WORLD BABEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
:D
Trudge and I will be here, but we'll be too busy defeating zombies from Satan's army!! BE PROUD, DEFEAT ZOMBIES!! :D
Don't know if this counts given that I ran it earlier this week. But I definitely feared the end while growing up as a Mormon child. Here's a link to the essay:

I don't know if the Armageddon would get soon or not, but what I can tell is I don't want is would happen.How 'bout you?
