Forget what Mayan end of the world predictions are, our friend Harold Camping is back with another one of his doomsday dates.
As heard on a Sacremento Ca based talk radio program, Camping has locked in the evening of May 21st 2011 as the end of the world, through precise calculations based on what some are calling arbitrary numerical theorems.
Despite his 4 last prediction dates, he has quite a following and has reportedly drawn assets of $120mil to fund his charades. US preacher warns end of the world is nigh: 21 May, around 6pm, to be precise - Americas, World - The Independent
May 21st very well be the end of the world.... for Camping, as he is 90 years old.

I know fresh reading can yield new information from any text, but that is a bit much, IMO. 
Frankly, this whole issue of end times is utterly irrelevant. If you don't believe in Christian prophecy, it's nothing to you. If you do believe, one would assume that you have already submitted your soul to God.

I’d hate to have my stomach growling during Armageddon. And since I only stand a 2% chance of achieving glory, I might as well have my fill of wickedness and sexual perversion between now and then. |

Anyone remember the "Late Great Planet Earth" book? I actually recall tv commercials for it and a follow up book by that author.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Haddon Heights, NJ | | | I looked up his website a couple of days ago - he relies HEAVILY on the passage which states that "A day is to a thousand years and a thousand years is to a day...".
Using this handy conversion factor, however, we could also say that the end of the world will occur 11,000 years from now.
There is a massive billboard ad for this on my way in to work. |

As I said when she and I talked about it "This guy is going to have a lot of egg on his face on 22 May."
