Rapture has commenced...

I think they should track this tosspot down and whack him in prison for what is left of his delusional life. What a c**t. ...

In Heaven's name why? He's done a valuable service showing up a load of delusional idiots for the gullible mugs they are.

Perhaps now they'll be a bit more skeptical about other tenets of fundamentalist belief, such as creationism.

I think that guy who sold his house to help that dude "spread the message" will have a different opinion on it.

True, but incredibly unlikely that the mugs will see that. If nothing else they're vastly too stupid.

False prophet? Looks like a pretty genuine profit to me, I almost wish that I had the scruples to take up the religion business in the good old US of A.

Absolutely quite right too. Especially on a narrow residential road like a dual carriageway. A perfectly valid use of Police time, Crown Prosecution Service time, Court time and so on. You are exactly the sort of evil criminal that needs to be punished in the harshest manner possible. Just like the people who get fined a similar amount from dropping dog ends in the gutter because there are no bins to get rid of them in. Or those who put their car park ticket at the wrong end of the dashboard.

Whereas TV evangelists who make millions from fake predictions that result in people selling their homes or giving away their savings, are doing the Good Lord's Work and should be feted in the world's media.

I see "The server at www.familyradio.com is taking too long to respond." Presumably it has had a rapture.

very good

Probably - in fact the next "prophet" will come along and claim this this is just a further test of their faith - and now they need to morgage up even more and hand over the cash to goodly causes to proof their faith.

Indeed, thanks for the script help, putting together a nice convincing tale won't be too tricky. I was looking for a good plan B idea, now I've found it

According to a survey of 17000 people in the US International Business Times, they reckon:

8% say Harold Camping will confess he was wrong.
16% say he will claim that the rapture did happen, but just in an invisible way that we cannot perceive or understand.
19% say Camping would "claim God had mercy on mankind and spared the earth"
54% say that Camping will unrepentantly claim a calculation error and form a new Doomsday date just like he did in 1994.

Sorry, I should have linked to the article. Where is Harold Camping?

3% believed him ... which extrapolated out would mean 6 million Merkin believers.

Definitely Plan B material, get $10 from each of those 6 million utter morons and it's a good income stream.
