Uh yeah, as the article says, they knocked on his door and he answered and told them to go away.

He's still got a couple of hours. No time for chit chat.

I kinda like how absolutely nobody gives a $#!+ about this asshole this time around. I remember a few months ago when all those fundie-'tardz were selling their houses, driving big "THE END IS NEAR!!!" vans around, and trying to kill their own families. Now, it barely registers.

I guess even Christians are just barely smart enough to understand the "crying wolf" concept after it happens enough times.

The Rapture actually did occur today. But God looked down at this sorry lot of humans and said, "How about no."

Didn't he die? I thought he had a stroke or something since last time. Huh.

Twice?

Isn't this his 3rd or 4th failed prediction?

The squirrel I usually see in my backyard was not there this morning. He lived a virtuous and chaste life, so I am sure he would be one of the chosen if this event happened -- not that I'm saying it did. Now, perhaps the hand of god did not come down to lift the squirrel up for certain, but my dog was barking at something this morning and after that I could not find the squirrel. Perhaps it was the rapture, perhaps not. I'll leave it to you to reach your own conclusions about the majesty of this event.

Pretty good scam. He can always explain it away by saying some monk made a typo in a translation of the bible and pick a new date

If he chose mummification after death, would he be wraptured?

I've always thought I'd be rather good as a cult leader.

I mentioned that in a class in HS when we were talking about college and career prospects. Mom and Dad got a note for that one.

Humorless farks.

Monks did write-os.

"Chaste and virtuous" and "squirrel" are terms I never thought I'd see together.

God's just been trying to teach him humility the last few decades.

Regarding the photo. What is with people who read the bible all the time? I would have that thing memorized cover to cover after about the 4th time. Mark didn't change since the last 20 times you read it. Are they stupid...

oh wait.
Never mind.

The following month, the now 90-year-old former civil engineer was said by his California-based Christian radio network to have suffered a stroke that left him hospitalized.

Sounds like he had a rupture, not a rapture.

Dear God, please don't use a Ford bumper to rapture me. It spoils the chrome.

Is anyone else REALLY sick of this shiat?

CSB:

So I'm working on some code, minding my own business, and then ZING! raptured AGAIN. Just like last time, get stuck in a waiting area, until some third rate peon of a saint comes in, mumbles "Sorry - our bad - it was just a drill..." and walks out. Then POOF! back in front of the computer - COMPLETELY losing my train of thought.

This is - what - the THIRD TIME this year?

ENOUGH ALREADY!'

Why is the God fella so big on obscure predicitons and faith? Why is it so important that we believe in the absence of evidence? He sounds like kind of a dick if you ask me.

I think (or at least hope) that Camping finally realizes something: he is going to die. He is 90 years of age, which means he likely has a few years left remaining, and the rapture that he desperately hopes for is not coming. He is so scared of death that he wishes so much for Jesus to come take him into Heaven so he doesn't experience dying, and yet time and time again (several dates in 1994 and now 2011) his predictions have proven false. I can just imagine that unless he finds another "math" error in his calculations, he has come to realize and been forced to accept that he will not leave this Earth via Magic Jesus Carpet Ride but through natural death.

Pity he helped to ruin several people's lives in the process.

I figured it out. May 21 wasn't the rapture, it was the deadline for having your paperwork in. Then God needed 5 months to read all the paperwork. Ya know, he had to make a list and check it twice.

If it wasn't postmarked May 21 you're just SOL.

So when can I expect my return? Is direct deposit still an option?
