Harold Camping predicts Oct. 21 rapture — again

[n2doc]

So, the rapture didn’t happen last time preacher Harold Camping said it would. When May 21 finally rolled around, there weren’t any trumpet sounds and Camping — along with millions of other Christians — didn’t rise up into the sky.

Maybe the end wasn’t nigh after all. But a whole lot of atheists in Seattle had a fun party and raised a few thousand dollars for a non-religious camp for kids.

Now, Camping is saying the real rapture happens later this month. May 21 was a deadline of sorts — an “invisible judgment day.” In other words, if you weren’t saved then, you’re going to be in a lot of trouble come Oct. 21.


So far, no Seattle-area “rapture day” parties are planned for that date. Earlier this year, a a local atheist group planned a party to mark the end of Camping’s “countdown to backpedaling.”

1. Harold Camping loves atheists. nt

2. Why does anyone give this idiot the time of day?

It's like focusing on/publishing the rantings of the crazed guy on the corner of the city park, babbling to himself, with a huge sign and pee running down his leg.

There's medication for what he's got, I'm guessing. Don't know if that will cure his "attention seeking asshole" tendencies, though!

Oh well, hopefully those parties will raise more money for good causes.

3. Too bad Raygun de-funded the insane asylums. Camping should be in a rubber room.

4. He started this on May 22nd and can't back down now

He has about a one in a hundred billion chance of a meteor hitting the planet, or some similar cataclysm, so that he can claim he was right all along. Why back down now?

a little sceptical of this dude.
