It was nice knowing ya'll

I didn't realize that this was Camping's second attempt at prophecy:

Is the judgment day coming on May 21, 2011? One group of Christians with a radio show is spreading the word that the rapture is happening this month, and you?d better be ready.

Meanwhile, a group of atheists has started a ?countdown to backpedaling.?

WeCan?tKnow.org is decked out with a countdown clock, ticking off the seconds until May 21. The URL, of course, is pointing some fun at WeCanKnow.org, the official site of the Family Radio group predicting the end of times.

The knowing part is hard though. Rolph reports this is the second prediction for Harold Camping, the Family Radio founder behind the May 21 date. Apparently, he also predicted the rapture would happen 16-years ago, on September 6, 1994.
Listen to a great NPR story about Camping and his Dooms Day believers here.

I just listened to that NPR report. Those people are just nuts. Budgeting so that all your money is gone on May 21st? And the young couple whose 2nd baby is due IN JUNE and have bought into this crock of crap, quit their jobs to help spread the word?

No wonder our country is in the shape it is in. People will believe anything they read, see on TV, or hear on the radio. :shake:

Same as it ever was.

Reread the last few books of the New Testament. Those guys didn't think THE END was more than 2000 years in the future, they thought it was right around the corner.

Maybe they're right. Some kind of orange glowing orb showed up in the sky today! And the water from the heavens has stopped! If that's not a sign, I don't know what is. I'm repenting as we speak...
