Harold Camping says May 21st is the end of the world as we know it

Believe this: I saw a horde of these believers with shirts and signs while walking along 34th St in Manhattan on my way to a job interview. On the way back home I saw some guy in a suit arguing with one of them, obviously telling the nutter "You've wasted your time and money and you're in my way!"

Well l have to agree also how and why people believe in this type of crap

I was on the bus last night coming home from work.
The bus driver and l were talking about how this guy who started all this has taken off with everyones money.

These people beleived in what he was saying and gave him all there money now l would have to say is that there is no trace of this religous man


I do think that people fall for religions because they are bored with themselves or dont know where to turn so of cause you have people who take advantage of this or they get there follows to try and drag you in
it is a shame that some people can not think for themselves

Now this motherfucker is saying Judgement day is October 21st.


Some assholes just don't know when to quit. When nothing happens in October, I hope his broke,dejected, and frustrated followers rise up and slay the dickhead, so there's never a fourth try.

[the clever guy]

He should just drink the Kool-Aid now and die...

[jolanar]

Anyone who gave this fool money deserves to lose it. And if this is all some scheme to make money for him, then frankly I applaud it. It's the nutjobs that follow him that deserve a worse fate than the nutjob just doing it for attention and money.

[razgriz21]

And people give him money?

The Mayans need to find this guy and layeth the smackdown on his candy ass.
He'll turn the other cheek, it's a lock.
Messin' up their prediction. The NERVE.

Holy shit! We're still here!

I kind of hope he keeps getting it wrong. After a while, he just looks desperate . . . and more stupid.

I personally just want to go up to the guy and say "I'll bet you a million dollars that everybody's still here on Oct. 22." Just to see if he'll take the bet.

[Tweek]

I think he's hoping that he'll be dead by then.

Wouldn't be the first (or last) time a Christian has been wrong about something.

Technically, he's said this from the beginning. He said the Rapture was the 2qst, followed by 5 months on planetary destruction, culminating with "the end" on Oct. 21.

[DaisyDukeGirl]

Let me just tell you guys, October is my month, and God and I have an understanding. He won't let Camping's fucked up prediction get in the way of us HALLOWEENERS!!!!!!! Those who want to decorate. I think we are ok!

[Kevin Lockard]

lol @ anyone who believes in "judgment day."

Also, I know Harold Camping and his gullible followers are in the minority of Christians, but still, whenever some religious person predicts the end of the world, why is it almost always Christians? There's been a bazillion end of the world dates, and if you look at the religious ones, they are pretty much always biblical. I almost never see a Muslim or a Jew or whoever saying that the world is gonna end anytime soon. It's not like Christianity is the only religion that believes in some 'end of days' scenario...

This is a bait:

Jesus was black and probably gay

What I posted was legit and relevant to the OP and obvious results of the failed "prediction".

[DaveyJoeG]

No, that was one of the baitiest baits I've ever seen. A bait can have relevance to the conversation, your comment was relevant but it added nothing beyond singling out Christianity and taking a little dig at it. I hate organized religion but yeah, I rolled my eyes at your comment.

Not the first time a Christian was wrong? Wow, such insight. Human beings are incorrect sometimes... and some of them worship Christ!

edit: BTW I'm cool with you baiting, internet arguments over religion are fun to read! We already have a thread for it, though.

[Hucksta G]

Non-Christains are often wrong too :P

Sorry my quick comment doesn't meet to your high expectations in this thread. It's not like I'm derailing the topic. I could have said more on the issue, but this wack-job doesn't deserve anymore attention than a simple retort on an internet forum.

I'll try to keep my comments to your liking, officer.

...and seizing a chance for you to fire a zinger at all Christians. Don't take a high road that doesn't exist -- your comment was about Christians as a group, not your anger/pity/disgust with Camping. It's totally fine to do one or the other, but to bait (yes) and then become incredulous about someone calling you on it seems a bit silly.

At least we can all agree Camping's a dangerous moron.

You're right. Christians ARE idiots.
