It all started on May 15th. Billboards in our area (the Piedmont Triad of NC) starting going up proclaiming that Judgment day was May 21st. They included a bright yellow starburst proclaiming that “The Bible Guarantees it”. They looked something like this.
Like many Christians who believe the Bible, this struck us wrong. The Bible is actually very clear that “No one knows the day or the hour…”.
A conversation started on twitter. Here are the actual tweets.
The image Brandon linked to was this one:
Then the twitter conversation continued: 
Brandon decided to post this idea to reddit.com. As the screenshot below shows, it got traction.
The conversation continued…
One of the redditors that responded happened to be one of the founders of LoudSauce.com, a crowdfunding ad-campaign web site. Next, Brandon posted a project. As of this writing the project is still online: http://loudsauce.com/campaigns/36-judgment-day-was-awkward-one-day-billboard-s-for-may-22 . He then posted a mock-up of the billboard. This was one of the images that went viral. This image is NOT real. This was the concept design. The real image was yet to come.
On the 22nd, Brandon replied to a different tweet with this.
So, after church, David hopped in the car with his wife and kids and headed out to find the billboard. David’s wife (Holly) took the picture of the real billboard shown below. When they got home, David cropped the photo and posted it to his FaceBook profile. Then Brandon posted it to imgur.
As of the writing of this email that photo has been viewed over 600K times. That number does not include many of the views of this image on Facebook, blogs, local news etc.
The billboard somewhat speaks for itself, but the point being made is this: You can’t use the Bible to justify your theory when that same Bible specifically states your theory is incorrect.
We have been amazed at just how many people across the internet have identified with that point and shared it across Twitter, Facebook, and blogs. At this point, it’s safe to say the point has been made.
Thank you to those who participated in some form of support.
