The new age folks know about the rapture and are just waiting for us to get outa here so they can have the world to themselves. That's not just internet hogwash, either. A coworker was actually mad to see me at work the day after Y2K, she was so sure that was the day.

We're all sick and tired of your self-righteous asses.
I was watching CNN and they had footage of Sydney as they were ringing in 2000, and I noticed that the shit wasn't hitting the fan, and I knew that everything was going to be okay.
This needs to be repeated, GloryBound: you coworker probably knows how much you suck.

Like everyone else, she was hoping you'd have spent the previous evening drinking kool-aid with your buddies.
Banks, commodities dealers, and insurance companies calculate numbers months and months into advance. That's how I knew Y2K was a load of horseshit.
Religiously, since there is nothing in any of the holy texts I've browsed regarding the year 2000. Well you get the point.
@ Jesus Klingon: I did the same thing! The Australians were such a consolation to a lot of people elsewhere. To the Aussies: sorry y'all had to be first!
Most likely the "New Age" co-worker was severely hung over and really was not in the fucking mood to hear from an annoying fundie.
Yes, they all really believe in the rapture and just want to be left behind. They believe in God, but just want you to go to Heaven so that they can inherit the Earth for a few years and then burn in Hell forever.
You people don't understand humor do you? When people go "Haha, yeah I can't wait for the rapture to take all the bible thumpers away" they aren't being literal, cause, you know, chances are they don't believe word one of that rapture shit.
1. Y2K wasn't exactly a hoax, it would have caused a lot of unforeseen problems (but likely not the massive social upheavals that people were preparing for, with guns, canned food, and thousands of rolls of toilet paper). For a while there, companies were hiring like crazy to get the work done, and for the most part it was all done around November 1999, then there was a bunch of layoffs. (And I got some good music writing done that winter because I was on pogey) A two year project that gets done a few months early doesn't mean there was no problem, it just means they took the problem seriously enough not to fuck around.
2. We are fighting over who gets your parking spots and laptops after you go. But I think we'll just take your used underwear and burn it in our dumps, which we will rename to Gehenna.
Ah, what Constance Cumbey hath wrought. The New Age is, and always has been, a bunch of stupid, self-absorbed morons with a very weak grasp of science and this intense need to be just a little more special than everyone else. Blavatsky started it in the 19th century, but it was at its most ridiculous in the 80s when the fundies started yammering about it.
Yes, it's a threat, but mostly because of people like Deepak Chopra. Satan doesn't enter into it.
Y2K, like the rapture, was just a scam from the start initiated by the brainless and hyped by Hollywood and fundies.
Mine was the ONLY computer in the office that didn't have the "Y2K bug fix", and mine is the ONLY computer that functions perfectly to this day. (we have 815 computers)
Ah yes... that Rapture bit again... Well, so much for being taken up by the Lord, huh? Look at the bright side! You didn't do the whole mass suicide bit others did. Now -that- would've been pointless =P
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
