I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered those Hale Bop Comet people back in the 90's--the ones where the men all castrated themselves and then they all committed mass suicide because they thought the end was here.
God is very insecure. Never heard of someone that needs people's acceptance so much. To the point where people get tortured? No thanks. Interesting mythology though. I would probably choose hinduism since it's the oldest practicing. It's funny how people are handed their religion. No research, just happened to be born into the "real" one. Ha. It will be interesting to hear the spin on the reason rapture didn't come.

That's just gotta hurt; the castration I mean...
That's what I was thinking, but was it really worth it. Lol.
Maybe harold camping isn't so nuts. He has more followers than I thought. He received 80 million in contributions from 2005-2009 through his Christan radio stations. He also already failed to predict the rapture in 94. Some of his followers have sold their houses and donated or spent their life savings. If you believe in heaven and [beeep] don't laugh because you're almost as irrational and gullible as his followers.
I am proud of you guy letting Takem voice his thoughts ,however wrong,without jumping.I don't know if he is serious or just trying to get something started but I'm glad no one fell for it.
Takem If you are right what have I lost,If I'm right what have you lost.Eternity is a long time to wish more research had been done.
When you see some of the things I have seen then God must be real,no other way to explain it. John

"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." Psalm 14:1
Harold Camping is nuts. He has also twisted Scripture to fit his warped views. If you want to know what he's all about just follow the money...

Well CRAP!! You mean to tell me the rapture happened 17 years ago and I never even noticed it? Must say something about the company I keep that nobody I knew went suddenly missing.
Late last Fall, I was standing there doing dishes. I started think about how much I missed my Dad. I stopped washing & stared off into the distant field. Right then, a very small white feather slowly fell from the sky, right directly in front of my view. I thought how odd of an occurance.
This Springtime, I was standing there doing dishes. I started to think about that white feather that day. As I stared off into the distance again. Right then, a small Bluejay feather slowly fell from the sky, right in front of my eyes.
Some sign are slight. You only need to pay attention.
