Answers are in the priory.

I feel bad for all the people who just gave their life savings for Camping. No word on if any of them will get any of it back either. Sad.

That guy who spent 140K of his own savings to publicize the rapture in New York City now needs to go see a counselor. That is if he can afford it.

Anyone who actually watched Camping would know that he is mentally disordered and very narcissistic. He is the very opposite of what Christ teaches us about the Christian life. Camping is out to pick up as much cash as possible from his mind controlled drones.

He does not represent in any way Christianity.

Like so many before him, he is merely cashing in on people’s fears of their own mortality and a false belief in Camping’s ravings.

May he and others in his pack of pharisees be thrown into the fires of Hell. May those he cheated be made whole while he awaits his fate for this ongoing attempt to steal.

“Gosh, sometimes it’s easier to be in a suicide cult than one of these semi-cult religious groups. ”

That really is stated in poor taste.

I truly feel for all these people and the pastor, to believe in something with such conviction. He must feel such a heavy burden knowing he influenced some people to make life changing decisions as a result of his prediction. Rather than having a huge countdown maybe they should have spent their ‘remaining’ hours living their life as a testimony to God’s love and redemption, instead of professing a ‘doomsday’ message.

What really has me flabbergasted is that someone hasn’t found this lying, charlatan and beat him with a stick until he stops moving. When you steal from people, you should get hurt.

As a matter of fact Jesus was quite narcassistic. His main message was “leave your wife, kids, and everything else you own and follow me. I am the only way to salvation. Only through me can you know the creator.” Given that the chances of him being the son of the creator of the universe are somewhere between slim to none, it’s likely that he himself was mentally “disordered” as well.

I’m curious, were his radio stations on the air on Sunday morning? Were they staffed? Did he have ad time sold for this week?

No one wants to talk about climate change….Start reading the newspaper and anyone with a brain would have to start talking about all the unusually violent weather patterns all over the world and the financial and personal havoc they’re causing many countries. This unusual weather pattern just continues to get worse. Then look at all the economy’s of the world they’re almost at crisis levels….look at the wars and upheavals all around the world. I’ve been around for 67 years and I’ve never seen all these elements come together at the same time.

There’s no doubt we’re in the middle of a drastic climate change and no one is talking about it. Maybe…it’s too late to do anything about it??? But it seems to me even if there’s a 10% chance that we could save ourselves by stopping oil drills, gas drilling and taking all those minerals out of the core of the earth…we might. I’d rather go back to horse and buggys than not be here. I’d like my children and grand children to have a good world to live in. But, I’m feeling very hopeless…we just go on our merry way in a state of denial that anything catastrophic is going on in the world.

And, exactly what degree is mental health do you have to make such an absurd statement. Look up narcissism in the DSM, you will find that being a church organizer doesn’t qualify.

shouldn’t believe shit you read in a book of fairy tales

If you can’t get today’s answers in a 2000 year old book, where can you get them?

He forgot to carry the zero … All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles, I’m gonna drink ‘em up …

Hope the FCC looks into this guy, he didn’t start a panic but if knowingly he put forth a fabrication on the air he could get suspended or get his license yanked.

I also read this morning his church is worth around 73 million. Wonder how much money he poured into this?

the poor idiot believed what he was preaching……
the real dumb fools are the ones who believed the charlatan in the first place…..
but as for getting their money back they should try prayer…
I hear it works wonders………..

Climate change? Please. We’ve had tornadoes, tsunamis, hurricanes and earthquakes since the beginning of time. By the way, in the 1970s they were predicting global cooling. See? The scientists don’t know what they’re talking about yet they want us to worship them and make laws based on their theories. By the way, if global warming is real how come Al Gore bought a beach house? See? He’s a stupid hypocrite just like all those scientists seeking government grants.

Camping should be charged for taking money under false pretenses. He’s a phoney just like the rest of his ilk. The man has millions in investments and properties, all thanks to his generous followers. He and his family are laughing all the way to the bank.

As much as feel a little bad for the people who gave everything to this man, I’m amazed they could be so naive to do so? Camping predicted the “rapture” in 1994. Is that not a HUGE hint to anyone thinking of joining up with him? The only good that’s come out of this, is Campings followers are still alive. There’s been many others in past years that were not so lucky.

We all know how this will play out in the next few days. Camping will give his “gee, I don’t know how I got the date wrong, again” speech, and many of his followers will forgive him. That fact alone is scary.

No.

I read that you could go to the website and listen online but all that aired was gospel music and short scriptural readings. Likely automated, though.

It’s easy to use religion to scam people or to deliver control on them. Here is an example of using people’s fears (the world crumbling, so much negative in the world) and delivering false hope (to be raptured and receive a reward in the afterlife…which also plays on people’s greed) to raise money for their organization under the guise of spreading the message. To say “I’m looking for answers” is distasteful. The right thing to do would be to open up his umbrella to let in all those who believed and sold all they have and now have to figure out what to do with this great disappointment (yet another one in the history of people who didn’t get raptured or the world didn’t end based on a prophecy, but as anyone who follows the bible knows, you’ll never know the time or place. Those who don’t follow the bible know this, at least, until Dec. 21, 2012…which will be even more disappointed people.) Either way, distasteful, preying on the weak.

The confusing thing here with your argument is that you used a quote from scripture to back it up. So does this mean you believe in the bible? The guy who wrote those words, wrote them over 100 years after Jesus supposedly said them. Now, I know I don’t need to defend Jesus on this, but remember that his words were not written down until much later. He may not have said that, and instead was more a student of Eastern philosophies. Some believe his statement that he was the Son of God was mistranslated or like a game of telephone was misconstrued, and he really meant that we were all sons of God, that we only need to look within ourselves to find God. Again, we don’t know the real Jesus, but you can’t use the book that you don’t believe in against him. Just trying to be impartial.

We can and do know the real Jesus, and textual criticism is not a result of playing “telephone,” one of the weakest arguments on the planet. But this is about Camping. Since Deutoronomy 18 tells us that a false prophet can be known by his failed predictions, then its clear that FamilyRadio should fire camping asap. If you see Camping employed next week, then the radio station entertains a false prophet and doesn’t care at all about truth. No excuses, people, no excuses. I fully realize that Christianity will be mocked by this sort of thing, and we deserve it. The outside of the cup is clean, while the inside is filthy. Its no wonder Hitchens hates religion – its easy to, when FamilyRadio hasn’t fired Camping yet. I publically apologize to all non-believers, because in our effort to promote the Son of God, we’ve once again managed to screw things up beyond all recognition.

If your dumb enough to believe evil came into the world because of an evil angel disguised as a talking snake who convinced a man and woman to eat some kind of fruit, that some guy lived for three days in the belly of a whale, that all the animals of the earth were once put on an ark to save them from a worldwide flood, that an angel slew the firstborn of Egypt and then a magical being in the sky parted the Red Sea, that the world is only 10,000 years old and languages came into the world as a result of the incident at Babel and that an evil being is constantly tempting us and Jack really did steal the giants gold as he raced down the beanstalk and…. ..well you get the idea.. if you believe in this then its easy to understand why you would believe in just about anything!!

People who use this instance to try and dismiss the validity of Christ’s mission are not unlike the “birthers”… Jesus Christ himself could appear before them, with a birth certificate from Bethlehem, and they still wouldn’t believe it. They make general assumptions based on some distorted prophecies, without having any knowledge of theology or understanding of the deeper meanings behind the words of Jesus Christ. If they knew the Bible, they would also know that Camping’s predictions were in direct contradiction to what Jesus said about His coming.

… and for people who want to refute the age old debate of “good vs evil”, they must ask themselves… where did they get this notion of “evil”? Who is to say what Camping did is “evil”, and what is it based on? The ideology must have come from somewhere… otherwise, the whole notion of “evil” is just a fallacy, and we can just about do whatever the hell we want without any repercussions. Use the brain that God gave you. Science, technology, evolution …are all a part of the design of God, and to live with such a narrow view that limits one from seeing the possibilities that arise from understanding a spiritual perspective is to do a great disservice to oneself. Religion, which is man made, is not the only vehicle by which chaos & misery have been brought upon this planet. It has all been through the ingenuity of mankind, whether that be good, or evil. God gave us freedom to exercise it it all… and what Camping has done is evil, by undermining the greater good & taking advantage of others.

Well, some comments here are intelligent, but others, along with this article pointing and lulzing at some obviously delusional nut who is not a fair representation of Christian at all, sucks, as usual.

1) Camping doesn’t lead a church. He has a corporation of 60+ media outlets worth millions.

2) One report I read said Family Radio invested $100 million in the campaign, some of which came from listeners, the rest from other revenue sources.

Humanity needs to know the truth! Rapture and Judgment Day are still relevant. The man known as The Comforter in The End Times (John 14:16 and 14:26) has responded to Harold Camping’s failed prediction in this recording: http://www.merkaba.org/audio/camping.htm

That’s twice now Camping has claimed an end time prophesy, he is a false prophet that only a fool would have anything to do with now.

As to the MTA worker who squandered his life savings, I really feel for you, but this Camping guy made a fool out of you and it was your choice to believe him.

Here’s another laugh for you.

Rarely do I disagree with you Puck but this time I do. Camping has the right to free speech just as much as you and I do. Those who chose to believe him did so at their own peril–kind of like those who voted for -0bama, know what I mean?

I was just gonna comment Idiot. But then I got the pop up…….

Were you raised in a cult or at the very least exposed to some really screwed up theology – I have NEVER heard Jesus asking anyone to leave his wife, kids and everything to follow him.

He just said that he miscalculated the date. Now it’s October 21st. He already made $72 million of people who were duped. I guess that wasn’t enough. How much more is he going to make between now and October 21st. A senile old man!!.

Yeah, the only thing that “senile” old coot knows how to do is make money. He should probably consider politics; he’d have a great future as a Democrat.

Sorry dude, more like as a Republican, that is where most of the stupid fundy evangelical saps are. He would go well with Palin’s End Times Church types.

For some time now people have been disappearing, remember Indonesia, Japan, Missouri, Just because no one has been ruptured up into Heaven and came back to tell Rev. Camping and the rest of us how the Rapture is coming along up in Heaven, that doesn’t mean it is not taking place. See what I mean, it just depends on how you look at things. Jesus could have pulled a quick one on all of us and we may not have known had I not reminded you to look at things in a different way.
