Right.. I'm the one that decided...Originally Posted by whywesteppin
So you've decided what all Christians not only should but do believe. Well in that case you win.Originally Posted by Its That Dude
As far as I know, ALL Christians believe that the rapture will happen. What is different between Camping and any other Christian? Because he believes that he knows when the rapture is?Originally Posted by whywesteppin
I know. That's why I'm annoyed. Cause atheists will use this to say religion is bad... Comments like this: "Camping's well-intentioned rapture campaign is indicative of the problems with religion." As if religion as a whole is bad because of clowns like Camping.
Every single Christian believes in the rapture. Instead of the rapture coming on May 21st, 2011, every other Christians believes that it can happen ANYTIME. It could have been today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next week, memorial day, summer solstice, labor day, Kwanzaa, etc.
Every single Christian is a "clown" as much as Camping is.

PAGANS !
Dudes got my txt all supersized and **$ like hes saying something..you feel special now buddy? You gotta reaction outta me.
Just saying, you're in no position to question anybody's beliefsIf someone thought Jesus was coming yesterday, you're literally not allowed to think they're an idiot.
It's almost as bad as the morons who think Osama Bin Laden is going to hell as opposed to him going to meet 21 virgins in his Islamic paradise.That includes you, and you admit yourself that you don't know what you believe in. This whole campaign of May 21rst is all media, they're putting fear into people hearts by using god.
You always try to associate believers as non-inellectual, as if believers are blind and ignorant by faith. For every big-mouthed scientist who thinks he has proven god doesn't exist, there are plenty of believers who make real contributions to science, medicine and so forth, rather than spending their valued research to disprove god.
If you are so damn smart than why spend all your time arguing against something that supposedly doesn't exist genius? As a believer in one god, I defend believers to a certain extent, yet you always play such a lukewarm position. You always try pinning their religion on me as if I ever declared myself to a denominationOur situation is different from the traditional believers.
Your name is 'Anton Lavey', you post corny +*! metal tracks talking about god. you remind me of my 20 year old white college roommate Max!
do you want some recognition for your little act? black sheep son! I think you just want to feel special
I'm done. You are what you are, I am what I am[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]. [/color]Son is clearly salty because we're the chosen people and not 'Team Nigeria'.
Believe 100000% god has a covenant for those who went through the American struggle. You mad doggie? That's the real reason these idiots are reacting the way they are to the direction of the times, this country's political system is completely broken, and is on it's last leg approaching the infamy of 2012. 24 million people, a good number of them black, are unemployed right now, do you honestly think I'm entertaining some old mans biblical calculations? Any sound believer would put 2 and 2 together to see the scriptures are far from concrete. Man manipulating god for his own worldly gain does NOT disprove god.

Family Radio, a non-profit Christian radio network headed by Camping, was the name seen on the placards, bus ads, billboards and in media coverage on the May 21 prediction.
But surprisingly, many within the California-based radio network do not believe that the first phase of the end of the world begins Saturday.
“I don’t believe in any of this stuff that’s going on, and I plan on being here next week,

Sue Espinoza was planted before the television, awaiting news of her father's now infamous prediction: cataclysmic earthquakes auguring the end of humanity.
God's wrath was supposed to begin in New Zealand and then race across the globe, leaving millions of bodies wherever the clock struck 6 p.m. But the hours ticked by, and New Zealand survived. Time zone by time zone, the apocalypse failed to materialize
On Saturday morning, Espinoza, 60, received a phone call from her father, Harold Camping, the 89-year-old Oakland preacher who has spent some $100 million — and countless hours on his radio and TV show — announcing May 21 as Judgment Day. "He just said, 'I'm a little bewildered that it didn't happen, but it's still May 21 [in the United States],'" Espinoza said, standing in the doorway of her Alameda home. "It's going to be May 21 from now until midnight."
But to others who put stock in Camping's prophecy, disillusionment was already profound by late morning. To them, it was clear the world and its woes would make it through the weekend.
Keith Bauer, a 38-year-old tractor-trailer driver from Westminster, Md., took last week off from work, packed his wife, young son and a relative in their SUV and crossed the country.
If it was his last week on Earth, he wanted to see parts of it he'd always heard about but missed, such as the Grand Canyon and the Painted Forest. With maxed-out credit cards and a growing mountain of bills, he said, the rapture would have been a relief.
On Saturday morning, Bauer was parked in front of the Oakland headquarters of Camping's Family Radio empire, half expecting to see an angry mob of disenchanted believers howling for the preacher's head. The office was closed, and the street was mostly deserted save for journalists.
Bauer said he was not bitter. "Worst-case scenario for me, I got to see the country," he said. "If I should be angry at anybody, it should be me."
Tom Evans, who acted as Camping's PR aide in recent months, took his family to Ohio to await the rapture. Early next week, he said, he would be returning to California.
"You can imagine we're pretty disappointed, but the word of God is still true," he said. "We obviously went too far, and that's something we need to learn from."
Despite the failure of Camping's prediction, however, he said he might continue working for him.
"As bad as it appears—and there's no getting around it, it is bad, flat-out—I have not found anything close to the faithfulness of Family Radio," he said.
Others had risked a lot more on Camping's prediction, quitting jobs, abandoning relationships, volunteering months of their time to spread the word. Matt Tuter, the longtime producer of Camping's radio and television call-in show, said Saturday that he expected there to be "a lot of angry people" as reality proved Camping wrong.
Tuter said Family Radio's AM station in Sacramento had been "severely vandalized" Friday night or Saturday morning, with air conditioning units yanked out and $25,000 worth of copper stripped from the equipment. He thinks it must have been an angry listener. He was off Saturday but planned to drive past the headquarters "and make sure nothing's burning."
Camping himself, who has given innumerable interviews in recent months, was staying out of sight Saturday. No one answered the door at his Alameda home, though neighbors said he was there.
By late afternoon, a small crowd had gathered in front of Camping's Oakland headquarters. There were atheists blowing up balloons in human form, which were released into the sky just after 6 p.m. in a mockery of the rapture. Someone played a CD of "The End" by the Doors, amid much laughter.
There were also Christians, like James Bynum, a 45-year-old deacon at Calvary Baptist Church in Milpitas, holding signs that declared Harold Camping a false prophet. He said he was there to comfort disillusioned believers.
"Harold Camping will never hand out poisoned Kool-Aid," Bynum said. "It's not that kind of a cult. But he has set up a system that will destroy some people's lives."
