Did I miss the rapture?

May 22nd, 2011

Didn’t some nut job insist that the Rapture was suppose to happen yesterday?  The same nut job that insisted that it was suppose to happen 1994, too?  Looks like he was wrong again.  Is anyone really surprised by this?  No?  Me either.

What does bother me is that he actually managed to convince some people that his delusions were true.  Sadly, there are always people willing to believe this stuff.  These people gave him money.  These people sold their possessions.  I feel badly for them.   For Harold Camping, however, I feel nothing but contempt.

So what were you doing when the Rapture was suppose to happen?  I was in a car on my way to a friends graduation party; something worthy of celebration, I think.

    He’s now claiming it was just a “spiritual judgment,” and the end will come on October 21. It will be interesting to hear what he has to say on October 22. It puzzles me that folks don’t ask him why he needs money if the end is near. It bothers me that he got so much coverage, but the media loves easy stories.

    Clear skies, Alan

    Ah, yes, I had read that. It puzzles me, too. And they will justify and keep believing him, too, and keep giving him their money. I’d love love love it if the people he scammed out of their money got together and sued him.
