      No because half life 3 is an odd number, in which the most recognisable odd number is 11, it relates to 9/11. if you grab 11 -9 + 3 it goes 5. So confirmed it goes on 2025. No wait that's the homeless people cut in half dste. Fuck.

    It's honestly kind of tragic to see how much money some people spent on this.
    I remember hearing on the radio something about how, when people truly believe something, it's very difficult to change their minds on it. Like when people believe that the world is going to end, and then it doesn't, they don't think "oh I guess I was wrong", they start trying to rationalize why it didn't happen and it gets ridiculous.

It played a large role in antisemitic sentiment as Jewish money lenders had no such law and as such were able to charge interest where most others could not, and it could be argued that a lot of modern antisemitism still finds its roots here. The practice slowly died with the reformation and the splitting off of Protestants in the 1600s, though the Catholic church still technically forbids it to my knowledge.

    I actually remember where I was on May 21st, 2011 because of this fiasco. Being Christian myself, I didn't believe his predictions, but I was nonetheless fascinated by it all. Maybe it was the fact that I'd never seen such publicity dedicate to a doomsday prediction. Even one of my neighborhood churches advertised it on its outside sign. Admittedly, I couldn't help but ask myself a couple times, "Is this guy actually right?" but for the most part, I kept repeating "only the Father knows".
    But yeah, that evening I was actually selling beer at a U2 concert during the Fray's opening act. The Fray's vocalist at one point was like, "wasn't the world supposed to end today?" or something along the lines, and while I'm carrying this heavy tub of beer I pretty much shouted "Where's the kaboom???"

He was a CEO of the biggest christian network at the time so money was probably not a problem for him and his apocalypse ramblings cost him money in the end. The simple truth is that he was old and delusional but had a lot of authority so something that would normally be summarized as "Grandpa forgot to take his meds again" turned viral instead. Unquestioned authority is a bad thing in every organization/company and unfortunately it's very prevalent in all organized religions.

Pulling numbers out of the Bible and fitting them into arithmetic to figure out God's plan is about as holy as rolling dice to decide which pig's entrails to examine for clues to tomorrow's weather.
