"Was this in America, by any chance?"

"How did you guess?"

"They won't learn, will they?

LOL... when I clicked on the video, I just somehow knew it would be related to America.

Next cult that claims a date for the rapture, all the atheists in town should hide inside and leave empty clothing out on the porch.

Religious cult seems a little redundant

This is the QI clip that got me to watch the show in the first place, lol.

Come now. They are told that Jesus is American, that the puritans went to the states to be free from persecution and not to actually persecute, and that, in many ways, both the Vietnam war and the invasion of Iraq were justified - all sound and well known truths! lol

The most recent Great Disappointment...December 21st, 2012! :p

And although those who eagerly anticipate The Rapture/The Apocalypse/Doomsday are in all likelihood disappointed that the world continues to spin on, it's safe to assume most of us aren't all that disappointed!

About twenty years ago, Samoa had a religious cult led by someone who believed SHE was Jesus. But that wasn't a problem, because she also believed that she was miraculously changing into a man.

I keep that one filed under "shit you can't make up".

Openly mocking the rapture on TV. Try as I might, I can't picture that happening in our magnificent free country - although it would briefly make Ellen bearable.

Unless they meant AMiBA; The Array for Microwave Background Anisotropy, which is basically a rather large telescope... But if so, it kind of makes their comment superfluous.

You mean an amoeba, don't you?

[Sam G-man]
