BF2S Forums Official May 21 Judgment Day Countdown

"This is absolute proof that I am correct," said Camping. "The rapture definitely took place, but there just wasn't a soul worth saving so it went unnoticed. The world will still end in October, as planned."

When asked why he, as a good Christian, hadn't ascended at 6PM California time, Mr. Camping offered little explanation, simply saying, "Why I am still here is irrelevant; all I can do now is take the 80 million dollar surplus my organization has collected from religious donors to the Cayman Islands where I intend to work tirelessly spreading the word of God before the End of Days in October."

how the fuck can they afford all this advertising? They have a ton of ads on the Metrobuses and in Metro stations. That's not chump change I think.

i guess

Allen, however, had concerns about donors. In the weeks leading up to the predicted rapture, one longtime donor stopped her monthly contributions and sent a note to the station that she wanted to send a bulk payment of $10,000 instead, Allen said.

that's the way most evangelical leaders operate.

I mean, what makes this interesting, is that it's seemingly so transparent and yet people still eat it up.

I'm serious too, Camping and his group should be punished for this whole thing ....  If fraudsters and scammers are held accountable for conning people out of money then so should Camping.

But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death. (Deut 18:20)

If camping gets sued so should every religious institution that excepts donations.

It's all very easy to laugh at the idiocy of it all but the bullshit he spouted had serious implications for many people - granted many of these people are gullible idiots who were caught up in it but that's far from the point. Camping was allowed to advertise to a massive degree and there should be a burden of proof on him. If fraudsters and scammers are held accountable for conning people out of money then so should Camping.

i do not agree one bit.  if people dont know religion is bullshit by now then fuck em.

most people who pursue religion are just simply too lazy to really understand all that is going on.  Thus, they are easily fooled.
