Harold Camping Flabergasted! No Rapture and 3 things we learned!
By Africanlegend
The world did not end. In fact, it is very much the same crappy place it was on May 20th 2011. Harold Camping, the prophet of doom who guaranteed that oblivion would descend upon this earth on May 21st 2011, was flabbergasted when 6pm came rolling around and nothing happened. No massive earthquakes and no salvation for the righteous, just pie in Camping's face. A humiliated Camping spoke for the first time after his prediction and had this to say:
Harold Camping's second failed prediction proved a couple of points AGAIN:
A) The Bible clearly states that no man can predict the rapture, meaning that a portion of practicing Christians simply don't read the Bible.
B) A significant proportion of humanity are clinically stupid.
C) You can monetize stupidity.
Monetize stupidity? Yes indeed and I don't just mean paying for removal costs and movers to transfer all your possessions to your damned heathen relatives who will remain on earth. For that you would require the pre-existing services of a long established moving company. I am talking about services offered specifically to capitalize on rapture related stupidity.
Here's an example of one:
An atheist and entrepreneur from North Hampshire, Bart Centre, enjoyed a boost in business for Eternal Earth-bound Pets, which he set up to look after the pets of those who believed they would be raptured. The Centre has more than 250 clients who payed up to $135 (£83) for a service to have their pets picked up and cared for after the rapture. Prior to May 21st, Centre is quoted to have said, "They will be disappointed twice! Once because they weren't raptured and again because I don't do refunds." ~
Sooo there is really only one winner here! |
