So, Harold Camping "miscalculated" and the rapture will actually occur in October. God made his "final judgement" on May 21st, so there is "no need to continue advertising the rapture," therefore, "Family Radio will only play Christian music and will have no other programming until Judgement Day."
At first, I wanted to call this guy an idiot or dumbass or retard, but you know what he is probably none of the above. In fact, Harold Camping is just a great capitalist businessman like Fred Phelps of Westboro Baptist Church, who protests funerals and then places lawsuits against those who take to physical violence against them.
Anyway, this Camping guy is just using the stupidity and mental deficiency of Christians across the globe for monetary gain. Here's a nice quote of affirmation:
"Camping offered no clues about Family Radio's finances Monday, saying he could not estimate how much had been spent in advertising his prediction nor how much money the nonprofit had taken in as a result. In 2009, the nonprofit reported in IRS filings that it received $18.3 million in donations, and had assets of more than $104 million, including $34 million in stocks or other publicly traded securities."
Let me translate, this guy claims that the end of the world is coming and that they need to get the word out. Ignorant followers believe it and the money rolls in. Millions of dollars roll in, a few million roll into the pockets of Camping's family and a few million roll back out in the form of advertising the promised land.
The fact that people actually believed in this apocalypse, the fact that people gave away everything, the fact that people tried to kill themselves or others, shows the unintelligence of so many Christians in our nation. I am afraid to have children that will grow up around people that are soooo oh soooo stupid. It's scary, such insanity is absolutely frightening.
