Poll question: Harold Camping - his own words
God came here, he changed the world on 5/21, it is just that we cannot detect it with our human senses.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13517496

Proof positive that evolution does not always go in one direction. His explanation to the BBC was fascinating. I know that religion corrupts, and an ultimately faith based life style, to the exclusion of rational thought, corrupts ultimately, but the idea that this troglodyte managed to convince others, including folks who dropped their entire life's savings in support of this criminal fraud, still manages to surprise me.

Maybe I should start my own religion, rake over my followers for $70+ million, pretend the world is coming to an end, and say that my way is the only way to their salvation. Religions cause such damage to this planet. It seems like the planet is beginning to fight back.



POLL QUESTION:
Will the world end on October 21, 2011?

1. Are you sure he really had to convince people? Many Americans already believe Jesus will come back
some day. Some DUers think Jesus will come back someday. Camping just offered a date and time.

"Proof positive that evolution does not always go in one direction."

Evolution does not go in any direction.

3. Some of us don't believe he ever existed in the first place,
growing up will do that for you.
