I honestly can't understand how his house hasn't been burned to the ground at this point. He cost people their houses and savings by manipulating them via their spiritual beliefs and then shows zero responsibility.

Even though I like to diss all of this, I genuinely feel compassion for anyone who learns things in life the expensive way. Sadly however, it remains true enough that some of the blame has to lie with those making such a conscious choice to listen to the man and take such things seriously. People still make their own choices in matters like this to which I sincerely hope they will become far wiser and more better off for it on the long run as a result. Albeit painful at present.

Camping like anyone else creates his own karma for which he will need to address the fallout of his actions due to an obvious lack of foresight and unmindful actions.

BBC News - Rapture: Harold Camping issues new apocalypse date
Over the weekend, he said, he had returned to the scripture and it had "dawned" on him that a "merciful and compassionate God" would spare humanity by compressing the apocalyptic destruction into a shorter time frame.
But he insisted 21 October had always been the end-point of his own chronology...
Asked if he had any advice to offer those who had given away their material wealth in the belief the world was about to end, Mr Camping said they would cope.
"We just had a great recession. There's lots of people who lost their jobs, lots of people who lost their houses... and somehow they all survived," he said.
"We're not in the business of giving any financial advice," he added.
"We're in the business of telling people maybe there is someone you can talk to, and that's God."

Reading this makes me want to pluck those squinty peepers right out of his skull.

People get scammed all the time because they truly are desperate or are searching for an solution to whatever problem they have.
Being in the fitness industry, people fall for stupid diets, supplements, exercise contraptions, and programs because they are desperate to lose weight or are trying to reach a physique without putting in the actual time and effort.
I don't really feel for the parents, but I do for the kids who were totally reluctant to join their parents on their religious path.
People who get scammed because of faith in anything that has NO REAL EVIDENCE to back it up may deserve it IMO because they refuse to look at it objectively.

Yea Christians in other words if you give a guy in a pearly white suit who heals people in the name of Jesus (by touching their forehead and seeing them collapse) you are most likely a gullible fool

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
One of these days, some goober is going to get the date right.

Following Christ
If I had a nickel for every time some one has predicted the end of the world by one method or another, I'd have a really big pile of nickels.:help:

I'm betting about a zero point zero percent chance the world ends Oct 21 2011, Dec 21, 2012, or any other date in the next 1,000 years or more.

From what I've read, most of the 'evidence' for the world ending on the 2 dates mentioned is shaky at best. We'll see.
