One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

lol.According to the May 21’ers, caskets will be unearthed and the remains of believers will ascend to the clouds along with the living “saved.” Meanwhile, the unsaved who somehow manage to survive the event will be left to suffer in the rubble until Oct. 21, 2011. That’s when the world will actually end, they explain.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice... I'm not quitting my job just yet.The spiritual leader of the May 21 movement is Harold Camping, the 89-year-old founder of California-based Family Radio—a nonprofit, noncommercial Christian broadcasting network that boasts more than 100 radio stations around the country (their programming is heard locally on 106.9FM WKDN out of Camden) and many millions of listeners worldwide. A self-proclaimed “tireless student of the Bible,” Camping’s been on the airwaves for 50 years analyzing Scripture and sharing his end-of-the-world beliefs. In 1992, Camping famously predicted that Judgment Day was slated for mid-September 1994. When it didn’t happen, he claimed he’d simply gotten the math wrong.Comment

This is amazing.
I am guessing there will be some guilt after killing Fido for no reason:Elvis Nditafon, 25, left his engineering job at the end of March. He’s standing next to his gleaming white Mitsubishi Eclipse—he just drained what was left of his bank account to get huge “Return of Christ” graphics on the sides of his car. “I’m not sure how it’s going to work, but our bodies will be changed,” he says of May 21. “It could be vanishing. The Bible gives evidence that it’s going to be something visible to those who are left behind. I just pray that I’m one of the chosen.”
It's all so airtight:Minus their dog. Like many May 21’ers who plan to euthanize their pets prior to Judgment Day, the Pisanos considered putting down their 3-year-old pit bull, Bella. “[She] won’t have food or water. It’s like knowingly leaving one of your children behind and saying you don’t really care.” The family ultimately decided to leave her post-apocalyptic survival “in the Lord’s hands.”
“The information is coming from the Bible and the Bible is God’s word. And therefore ... it’s not a possibility that Judgment Day won’t happen on May 21.”"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
"It's no secret that the great American pastime is no longer baseball. Now it's sanctimony." -- Guy Periwinkle, The Nix.

One of their billboards is on the highway about 2 1/2 miles from my house, so I enjoyed the article giving me the full scoop.
My 9 year old has been going through a little funk where he is afraid of almost everything - either my wife or I has to stay with him until he goes to sleep each night. He's probably just getting the vibes of the end of the world....Comment

Shoot, sounds like he's got all his crap together for this calculation, though. Everybody knows the flood happened in 4990 B.C., but the tricky part is getting the date of the creation right. Extrapolation vs. interpolation and all that.Over the past several years, though, Camping has told his followers he’s re-crunched the numbers and is sure he has it right this time. Family Radio’s website says: “The Biblical evidence is too overwhelming and specific to be wrong” about May 21. Camping’s complex formula to arrive at Saturday’s date with Armageddon involves numerous assumptions (“absolute truths,” McCann insists) derived from various Biblical passages: The world was created in 11,023 B.C. Noah’s flood occurred in 4990 B.C. Judgment Day is supposed to happen seven days after the flood. One of God’s “days” really equals 1,000 years. And so on.
