Rapture this!

Or, stupid is what stupid does..

Well, it looks like the world survived the Rapture event on May 21, though perhaps with the help of The Macho-Man Randy Savage putting the 'atomic elbow' smack-down on Jesus.

But like the a bad plague of the terminally stupid, their fearless leader Harold Camping has *updated* the prediction to October 21, 2011.

This article shows he even bumped the 94 date to December once September passed. It also details some of the "interesting" math he is using. How anyone would give away a ball of lint based on all of this "proof" is beyond me. Using some of his math, Moses comes out to be something like 43 million 800 thousand years old.

These people call themselves Christians, right? Aren't Christians supposed to believe in the Bible? Including that part where it says that no one, not even the Angels in Heaven or the Son know the day or hour, only the Father. Why do these people follow a man so arrogant he claims to have knowledge that not even Jesus has?

[dr_nebula]

Exactly. His arrogance is astounding and their gullibility and stupidity is just as great. Coupled with that this is the 3rd time these retarded predictions were made - I have NO pity for those fools who spend their life savings on this crapfest.

They follow him for the same reason that the Roman Catholic Church is the largest christian sect on this rock. That reason is that 1700 years ago (more or less) the RCC banned the common person from reading the Bible, and began teaching that normal people "needed" to have sacred texts "interpreted" by the clergy. Christianity has been (basically) screwed ever since.

I wish the Onion would have ran an article/news story that the Rapture did indeed happen... but only 16 people world-wide got called up to Heaven.

See you in Hell. LOL!

According to one of those little marginal churches, only 14,000 people, or was it 4,400 people were gonna be sucked up to heaven anyway. Would we even miss that few people? Would they be people we'd be likely to miss?
