Not so fast, what are you going to do with Fido?

As Timmy has noted here on several occasions, Saturday is the predicted time of The Rapture when the Christian faithful will be returned to heaven.

As an athiest I can only smile and wonder at the prediction forecast by an 89 year old preacher from Oakland, California. Does all the insanity in America eminate from that state? Perhaps the Reverend Camping has other issues. At least the mainstream Christianists are ignoring him, but not so the athiests:

Wish I had thought of this. Don't they always tell us you can't have enough insurance?

Chris wonders if all the insanity in America eminates from California? From here, Cali looks like one of the saner parts, but that's not saying much.

I like a joke as much as the next guy and that's all Harold Camping is - a joke. (And unfortunate name, much?) He's been wrong before - 1994 was to be the end of all things, according to him - and he's wrong now.

Camping and his deluded followers came out of the Jehovah Witness Church/Cult. JW's confidently predicted the End of the World in 1874. It didn't happen, so they tried again in 1914, and then 1925, 1941 & 1975 when they finally decided to just shut up & stop making fools of themselves.

To be fair, those who are laughing loudest are christians - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QpvD3fi71Y&feature=related

My bro-in-law is a widely respected preacher/prophet/whatever. Being charitable, he says that Mr. Camping is a sad, deluded old man like so many others before him.

Hahaha! I just got an e-mail about a nationwide prank to leave pieces of dry ice in old shoes and scatter some clothing around them on that morning in front of prominent areas of town or intersections. Very Happy

Don't despair at the seeming inanity of the Rapture on Saturday. What we will most likely find is that because no one actually gets raptured (not including those who get ruptured which is a different matter altogether) is that the number of Christian kooks may well decrease on Sunday when they realise no one got raptured, and that the whole thing was nothing more than another case of arrested mental development.

It may help if we open a website to counsel the unraptured as there may well be some people who find it difficult to cope with being confronted with reality for the first time in their lives.Surprised

Call me naive if you want, but life without trust in the goodness of others would be intolerable.
