'Judgment Day' came and went on Saturday, and John Ramsey hasn't been able to sleep. The 25-year-old Harrison, N.J. resident had rearranged his life in recent months to devote himself to spreading a fringe California preacher's prediction that May 21 would bring worldwide earthquakes and usher in a five-month period of misery before the world's destruction. Like many of those convinced of the Rapture was pending, Ramsey quit his job, donated "a couple thousand" to Harold Camping's Family Radio network and convinced family members to join him to spread news of the Rapture on Manhattan streets.

Paul  Perry (pezski) | 122 comments my mouth just dropped open; the guy on the video who had claimed that the Japanese authorities were shutting down nuclear reactors because of the prediction. Talk about seeing the world through the delusion of your choice!

Paul  Perry (pezski) | 122 comments Oh, wait; this explains it all. It seems that god is giving us a break from the five months of tribulation and is just going to go straight to apocalypse in October. (Did i inject enough dripping sarcasm into that sentence?)
