Oy... Here We Go Again... 'Radio Host Says World's End Actually Coming In Oct' - AP/AJC
Radio host says world's end actually coming in Oct
By GARANCE BURKE - The Associated Press

<snip>

OAKLAND, Calif. — As crestfallen followers of a California preacher who foresaw the world's end strained to find meaning in their lives, Harold Camping revised his apocalyptic prophecy Monday, saying he was off by five months because the Earth actually will be obliterated on Oct. 21.

1. "Parents! Didn't get a chance to slit your kids throats before the LAST Rapture? There's a....
...NEW and improved rapture coming your way in October! Mark your calendars and stock up on box-cutters!"

This man needs to be arrested or something. This is just going to turn into a rolling apocalypse until the asshole keels over and innocents have already been gravely injured.

Stop.

This.

NOW.

3. Don't you know he's SAVING the world???
He's one of a small group of people who keeps the world from ending. Matthew 24:36 says nobody knows the hour and the day of the end times, except the Father. So it can be deduced that the world will never end on a day one somebody thinks its going to end, or God would be wrong. So to keep the world from ending, this guy chooses certain days to believe it will end, so it won't. Others pick other days.

That's my theory anyway.:dunce:

6. This is great for the kids, I'm sure.
Instead of being able to grow up normal, they get to hear about a place called hell where the lost kids have to gnash their teeth out along with the adults for eternity on end. If that's not enough, you have preachers forecasting the oblitheration of the earth in the spring and fall of the year. It seems to me the cold reality of wars and global climate change would be worrisome enough for young minds. He really should be arrested and charged with being a public menace. Or maybe people should sue him for depression.
