They're still here :(
As I'm quite sure you've already heard, unless you're living under one mighty big rock, today was supposed to be the big day. At 6:00 this evening, the world as we know it would supposedly be thrown into chaos as the Rapture occurred ... according to religious whack job Harold Camp, to be followed in 6 months by the Apocalypse and the End of the World in October.
What gets me is not that some old man has gone completely off his rocker. That's just a fact of life that happens sometimes. What grinds my gizzard is that there are so very many willing to blindly follow him on his journey to la la land. Even when he tells them that he's based this prediction on just a couple or three Bible verses. Really? Seriously? Even if you choose to use the Bible as your authority on this question, it's quite a simple matter to shoot down this guys delusions as complete BS. Starting with (but not exclusive to) 'No man knows the day or the hour, not even the angels, only God himself'. Easy, no math or contortions required. Seriously, don't these people ever read their own Book?
Even worse than the lemmings following this Pied Piper is the media. OMG can you believe the attention they've showered on this moron? They've given him the perfect platform to spread this idiocy. If they devoted the same amount of time to say, the homeless, can you imagine the progress that might be made in eradicating the problem since the masses would no longer be able to turn a blind eye to it?
Personally, I could wish that he was right about this Rapture thing. That he, and all those that believe his rantings had been be swept up and taken out of this world in the blink of a eye today. Let God have the crazies, we've been dealing with them long enough. That would finally shut them up at least. Might have even opened up the job market a bit so I could find a job.
But of course, it didn't happen. Let's get real ... if you were all powerful, would you turn heaven into hell by condemning yourself to spend eternity with people that refuse to use the brains you gave them to begin with?
