Harold Camping Update: Rapture Will 'Probably' Finish Oct. 21
http://www.christianpost.com/news/harold-camping-update-rapture-will-probably-finish-oct-21-57197/

Tue, Oct. 04 2011 01:02 PM EDT

Harold Camping, the Christian broadcaster who boldly announced that the world would end on May 21, only to later say that he was "flabbergasted" when the rapture did not occur, is now telling everyone to get ready for the real rapture, which is set to occur on Oct. 21 – probably.

Some time after being released from a nursing home in June after suffering a stroke, Camping, released an audio message on Family Radio's website saying, "We would have not been able to be used to bring about the tremendous event that occurred on May 21 of this year, which probably be finished out on Oct. 21 that's coming very shortly. That looks like it will be ... the final end of everything." snip

Camping, a trained civil engineer who started the Family Radio network in 1958, has been wrong about the end of the world date twice before. In 1992, he predicted that the world would end in 1994 and even wrote a book, aptly titled, 1994?

11. It matters not
because we are the "Left Behind".

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

4. How stupid do you have to be to follow someone who is this ignorant?
"We would have not been able to be used to bring about the tremendous event that occurred"

Really? :rofl:

6. "probably"
there is a probability that I will be ruler of the world. but it's a very small teeny tiny doesn't exist in this universe type of probability.

nothing worse than an old fool.

8. What I find funny is that so many religious people think this guy is bonkers
but sincerely believe that, yes, the dead guy is going to come back to Earth at some unspecified point and "save" people.

15. It's the continuum of crazy
Once I was having a conversation with a friend before meeting his family. He explained that his sister and mother, as part of their religious beliefs, did not wear makeup, had long hair, and would not wear pants (though they could wear sweatpants under their skirts if it was cold). He finished by saying "but at least they're not snake handlers, like Uncle Jim." When the snake handler is the really out there one, you know you're in trouble. And it's a very short leap from Harold Camping to your average Rapture believer, just like it's a short leap from thinking gay marriage is wrong to Fred Phelps.

17. another re-calculation??
if you take the square root of the hypotenuse, with the angle of the dangle,
multiply loaves and fishes by John 3:16, subtract the number of angels who can dance on the head of a
pin, across the great divide, add water - stir, shake your moneymaker, then put it all together
and by jove! you do get October 21!!! Brilliant, I say, brilliant!!! and ask
why do the birds go on singing? why do the stars glow above? don't they know it's the end of the world

18. So Saturday morning the "left behind" can go out and grab all the abandoned cars...

Wow!!! There's this BMW Z4 I've had my eye on...

24. Wonder what his explanation will be when this date comes and goes...and nothing changes?
Or maybe he'll suicide himself and prove his hypothesis at the micro-level. Regardless, if there was a Gawd, I'd surely appreciate it if he'd Rupture Camping and every other RW Evangelical/Teapublican on this planet on that date. Then the rest of us could enjoy a little heaven on Earth.
