Family Radio Oops no Judgement day? My bad… But we are keeping your money!?!

Beware False Prophets… Anyone ever remember hearing that?

I'm not going to quote anything biblical at you because frankly I feel the Bible is a made up book written by people hundreds of years removed from any real events it supposedly describes. On that subject I encourage you to think for yourself, just as I feel God would too; be a Shepard not a sheep.

That thought, which I think is actually very good is not why I decided to post on this subject. Here is my reason. Is anyone else totally disgusted with this Harold Camping Head of Family Radio chap? Here we have a guy who's prediction of the end of the world proved to be wrong (again), has conned people out of their life savings, has ruined lives with his prophesies and without any sign of regret is at it again. All we got was a my bad and here is the correct date, honest…

The new improved extra special Armageddon, Judgement Day, End of Days, Rapture has been reset to October 21st 2011

Did God just press the snooze button on May 21st then?

Of course this now gives Family Radio (a multi-million dollar company) five more months to pump the gullible, spread its fear and increase their portfolio. And just in case our good ole' Preacher Harold Camping is keeping his house and car 'because giving them away before Judgement day would be pointless.' Yep, no faith in his own prophesies, but expects others to jump before him.

My views on religion and my faith have been better explained in my It's 6pm the official Family Radio time of the Rapture did you feel anything? Yeah… Me too… post. So I will not repeat them here. I will though leave you with this thought in regards to Family Radio and Harold Camping.

'Who is the fool? The fool or the  fools that follow him?'

The final outfit picture from the now cancelled Wonder Woman pilot

As we all know NBC cancelled the Wonder Woman pilot after some pretty poor feedback ranging from the original outfit posted outfit (plastic pants?), to the idiotic attempt at changing who Wonder Woman is (it ain't Sex in the City meets the Amazons).

I guess as a final goodbye a picture was posted of Adrianne Palicki in the full traditional outfit (yes that means hot pants), frankly she didn't have to do this piece of fan service; but all power to her for this. Thank you for the picture Adrianne, you really were in a project that was pretty much doomed from the start and I hope it doesn't hurt your career. The full picture is posted after the jump

Project Fabula Update #9: T-Minus 10 Days and counting!

Wow, we are down to the last 10 days of my Kickstarter campaign to gather enough pledges to met my funding goal. The prospects of launching Project Fabula are starting to look fairly grim now, but never say die, right?

Ten days and anything yet can happen.

I'm still hoping we can pull something out of the bag here; so if you've haven't already done this. Please help launch Project Fabula by pledging (if  can), tweeting about it, emailing your friends, Facebook and of course blog about this anthology mashup of illustrated prose and comic book story telling.

I would love to launch Fabula in it's fully planned publication form for Baltimore Comic Con, together we can all make this happen.

T-minus 10 and counting…

It's 6pm the official Family Radio time of the Rapture did you feel anything? Yeah… Me too…

Well here we are it is now 6pm the official Family Radio time for the Rapture, it has now started and like a brown wave of destruction is supposed to be moving across the globe towards us…

Yeah that is what I thought too… Nothing…

You will have to excuse the rest of this blog post, I'm going to talk a bit about my religious views and my faith. If you want to read more take the jump.

So now what? What are those adults going to do that followed the word of Family Radio to the letter and prepared for the Rapture, and in turn scared the piss out of their kids? How do you explain this one to them? Oops sorry got it wrong, my bad? You've just shaken that faith in them by your misguided belief in the ravings of a man who happily takes your money, and will do so again.

If you don't feel like an idiot about now you should…

If I was you I would take this moment to reexamine your faith, and while having faith is a great thing; a faith in something greater beyond this existence is wonderful feeling and something that I have myself. But examine that faith and ask yourself how you a rational person could blindly follow another to the point your scared your family, or ruined them. Is this what God wanted you to do?

Tell you what I feel and think about God, he wants you to live your life, and be excellent to the people that exist in it.  To think for yourself and praise him; not blindly or in a throes of a cult worship, but in your own way. A prayer is little more than practicing your skills, a miracle is no more than you being the best you can be at that skill. Praise him everyday by living your life, by finding the beauty and love in it.

Not by being scared, not by giving into the fear mongers, but by having the courage to always be a good person and thinking for yourself.

Sorry, this entire May 21st Judgement Day thing has kind of got to me, and I'm disappointed that so many people fell for this conman again. Please I urge you to not drink the Kool Aid and live your life… That is what God wants you to do.

Be excellent to each other

Just checking cause its May 21st and Judgement Day seems to be late? Did the Rapute happen to you?

Okay, now May 21st USA EST Time, thirty minutes in and  still no Judgement Day, or Rapture a happening? I mean does anyone have a schedule or something? Cause I want to watch Dr Who tonight and need to know if I have to set the DVR or not.

Anyhow just checking, anyone feel anything? Anyone?

Plus what now for Family Radio? What big lie can they roll out now to keep the money flowing towards them? A donation of $10 guarantees your place in heaven, right? I feel sorry for those that have been lied too. Please live you life without fear, that is another tenant of belief, and not pushing superstition onto those around you.

The End of the World… The Rapture? Judgement Day? Did you feel anything?

It is now Midnight May 21st in Israel, the time and date where Family Radio has guaranteed the end of the world, or the Rapture, or Judgement day. Did you feel anything? Cause I'm still at work, its looking like a typical Friday afternoon completely free of celestial events and beings to me. Just me and the boys staring at our computer screens pushing code around.

Of course it could be kicking off now and people could be ascending to heaven as I blog, but I doubt it… The entire thing stinks of a sad, horrible little marketing ploy that exploited a fearful corner of society by Family Radio to part people with their money and have it flow to them.

Ever… Onwards… The end of the world might be nigh, Judgement day may yet be around the corner; but you will be judged by the life you make, how you treat those around you, not how your prostrate yourself before a myth in a book written by people pretending to be other people.

Belief is what you make of it and is more than rigid slavish adhence to age old worship and rituals, it is to quote the words of Bill & Ted about being most excellent to everyone.
