1 [a]If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a sign or wonder, 2 and if the sign or wonder spoken of takes place, and the prophet says, "Let us follow other gods" (gods you have not known) "and let us worship them," 3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 It is the LORD your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him. 5 That prophet or dreamer must be put to death for inciting rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery. That prophet or dreamer tried to turn you from the way the LORD your God commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you.

-- Deuteronomy 13:1-5 (NIV)

20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death."

-- Deuteronomy 18:20 (NIV)

And I beheld when Rebecca Black had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon
became as blood.

I wonder if all those idiots who gave away all their stuff and sat on the curb waiting to be raptured are going to do it again.

I certainly hope so. I could use a new bedroom set.

I prefer the Book of Patton...

Farking volcanoes came out of the ground and spewed menstrual blood into the sky, and then it formed into Avril Lavigne's face and she recited the Good Will Hunting screenplay and then the words turned into sentient razors and just bored into your flesh, and George Bush was President and mediocrity held sway!

it's clear that the ranks of Camping's true believers have thinned. One source says Family Radio is trying to sell off stations to avert bankruptcy.

"The reputation of Family Radio is marred, and the money is not coming in," says David Liquori

Nor will Camping, though he does say he's officially retired.

Well, I guess that's something remotely good to come out of this.

Remember, he always said that the actual end of the world would be Oct 21st, something like 3 months after the "rapture"
Well, since he decided that the rapture was in May this year, and not one of the other dates he pulled out of his ass before

"I don't have any responsibility," he said. "I can't be responsibility [sic] for anybody's life. I'm only teaching the Bible."

Why look, it's Cain, here in the flesh. Get ready for the Mark, dude.

Get the distinct feeling God would put more effort into finding a suitable vessel than a man who looks like he's seen more than his fair share of strokes, too. Well, get our your axes and pitchforks, I'll call the executioner.

You think you have it bad?

My band has a really big gig Friday night! If the world ends on Friday (day!) I'm going to be out some serious coin!

CSB: We played this event last year, and it turns out that the two adorable girls who were leaning on the front of the stage for a good half-hour that night were Sasha and Malia Obama!

you are Harold Camping.

some people have given you their life savings.

do you feel guilty for ripping them off and distroying their lives?
or are you guilt free because they are idiots?

It will change your life, and I'm not kidding in the least.

It's a scholarly book, but written so that the layperson can follow it, and the things it describes and the conclusions it draws are gob-smacking.

Fun Trivia Fact: Primary author Leon Festinger coined the phrase "Cognitive Dissonance".

So, that should tell you something.

Enjoy!

He is off by a week.
An alternative calculation of the Mayan Calendar puts the end of the long count calendar on Friday Oct. 28, 2011 instead of Dec. 21, 2012.

Just so you know. Nothing will likely happen, but it is always a good idea to take spiritual stock of where you are.
