We're All Camping It Up Now, Mostly
It didn't come as much of a surprise to most of us, but Saturday came and went as usual. No rapture-like events, as far as I can tell. Unless, of course, there's a mystical significance that DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com says that FamilyRadio.com is indeed down, and not just for me. Have they been raptured? Maybe we wouldn't notice if 144,000 people out of more than six billion quietly disappeared. And don't forget, what's actually supposed to happen is that the rest of us witness “horrible” events of destruction until October 21st, when the world allegedly comes to an end.
Okay. We've had our fun at the expense of those few who were taken in by Camping's campaign, and felt sorry for those close to them who have suffered as a result of such gullibility. So what's next? Well, weirdly, countless numbers of people around the world, having laughed or scorned at Camping and his followers, will, because it's Sunday today, not only pay heed to individuals who tell us that Judgement Day is indeed a fact, but they will also give them money. However, unlike Camping, who has reportedly amassed considerable wealth via his scam, those individuals' bosses are in it for the long haul, so they won't put a date on it. They prefer to drip-drip-drip the fear, water torture style.
