Oh Dear Lord.

Honestly, it's sad, but I barely feel sorry for them. In the end it was just their own fault for making poor decisions.

Y'know, I hope this teaches people not to basically give everything away when 2012 rolls around....

I'll give that last dollar of change that I got from buying junk food away.

No, no it won't. Lol

Here's an article on the reactions of the people who dumbly believed in this whole 'Rapture' business, with some who really *did* spend their entire life savings, or quit their jobs because they figured they'd be in Heaven by now

I don't feel sorry for them at all; anyone stupid enough to believe in apocalyptic bull**** to the point where they piss their whole life away in anticipation quite literally asked for it.

The worst part is the hardcores won't admit they were wrong; they will have an excuse at some point.

You know, next year I'm probably going to be rolling around to whatever garage sales I see; if you're going to find any fantastic bargains, next year will probably be the year for it.

Seriously, this guy is 89, why can't mother nature gives us an hand and send him to an one way trip so we don't need to endure his nonsense anymore.

Preacher 'revises' new End of the World date

The number of believers was on the high side of my estimates - or they were very generous.

Camping offered no clues about Family Radio's finances Monday, saying he could not estimate how much had been spent advertising his prediction nor how much money the nonprofit had taken in as a result. In 2009, the nonprofit reported in IRS filings that it received $18.3 million in donations, and had assets of more than $104 million, including $34 million in stocks or other publicly traded securities.

[Toasty Warrior]

I still say this whole rapture thing was averted because of the announcement of Duke Nuke Forever finally going gold.

[Smiter]

Harold Camping really doesn't learn, does he? This is at least the third time his predictions have failed.

His followers must be really gullible people. You know, guys, believing in God doesn't mean you have to believe in an old fool who insists he knows when the world is ending.

Reading Nick's post, it looks like Family Radio are really stretching the definition of "non-profit". Seriously, this is why I despise evangelists like Camping and all those TV preachers, they give religion a bad name. "Give us money and you shall be saved!"

I saw a great quote in the comments.

"It's a shame that stupidity can't be converted into a usable energy source."

The fact that it took them three days to get a real response together speaks volumes; of course, they did exactly what I expected and just said they got the date wrong.

This is really one of the problems with all of this; the fact that money changes hands. It's something that's long come with the religious territory, but these guys just take it into the sleazy territory. Unfortunately, the religious seem to have a pretty bad track record for seeing things like this for what they are, or at least the people with the wool pulled over their eyes.

These things are essentially scams in religious wrapping paper.

There was a Televangelist back in the 80's who basically said that God would strike him down if he wasn't sent two million. People sent him cash. And we wonder why they pull things like this.

So I pretty much stood by for a zombie apocalypse that never happened. Sad panda time.

[MangaReader]

It's people like this, who go around shouting the end of the world, that harshen my mellow and make my faith look bad...

[shadow_Uzumaki]
