Rapture moved to October

Tonight Harold Camping said his rapture calculation was off, and it will actually be October 21st. Guess we're not all as safe as we thought. :lol: I thought the guy was just a scam artist, but this leads me to believe that he actually buys into what he was saying. The safe thing to say would be to make it years down the line, but when the rapture doesn't happen, AGAIN in 5 months, twice in the same year, he's going to be ruined. If he was just a scammer he would have to be the least shrewd one ever.

    Yeah, but last time I don't think he made another calculation for months later. Wasn't this the first calculation he had made since his 1992 prediction that the world would end in '94? Spreading them out gives people time to forget, or stop caring. Doing it twice in the same year is going to look terrible. I mean he looked terrible anyway, but this will make it doubly bad.

    As for rapture school, those are hard to get into. Maybe he can swing a baseball scholarship or something, but he clearly doesn't show the aptitude to get in on academics alone.

    He forgot to carry the 1 in his calculation.

    That sounds like too much fancy book learnin' for this type of thing. What happened to the good old nuts who just flat out told us that God told them the world was going to end? All this math makes baby Jesus cry. What's next? Science?

    his prediction reminds me of the prediction of a massive earthquake on the new madrid fault predicted for december 3, 1990. the guy's name was Iben Browning. the next day, after the earthquake failed to occur the local newscaster said "he should change his name to Iben DRINKING"....and i remember laughing hard at that for a minute...

    "Reflecting on scripture afterward, Mr Camping said it "dawned" on him that a "merciful and compassionate God" would spare humanity from "hell on Earth for five months" by compressing the physical apocalypse into a shorter time frame."

    :roll:

    It strikes me that a "merciful and compassionate God" wouldn't be so capricious and evil as to even consider subjecting his beloved creation to "hell on Earth" at all!

    Curious how these folk with all their holier-than-thou judgmental certainties, always come to these key realisations after the fact. The arrogance and wilful ignorance is astonishing.

    Damn it I always screw up some little detail.

    OH! OH! This is not some minor fucking detail, Michael!

    "On his daily radio show broadcast throughout 66 stations, worldwide, Camping stated, "The reason why I'm re-scheduling the Rapture for October is so I can make it out PJ20 and give those godlesss little sonsovbitches one last chance to save their wretched souls". He added, "Plus, I'm a big fan of the 'Queens Of The Stone Age'... that Josh is one sexy ginger-beast."

    Yeah, I've stopped going over there for the time being. People have lost their minds. There are all the complaint threads, the thank you threads, all the people who managed to get tickets that started their own topic just to share that fact, the ones who didn't get tickets starting their own threads, the countless threads for "play this song at..." which cover just about the entire song catalog, and then threads for any random thought like "I was sitting on the shitter and it occurred to me that I really should bring an extra pack of batteries to PJ20 just in case there is no electricity in Wisconsin", etc.
