What a disappointment...:sad4:

Well, time for bed...:sleep:

Someone wake me if the world comes to an end before I wake up.
Thanks

1 minute past. I'm still here, oh well.

There's still the fall out and debriefing. Incidentally, this has been a very smooth and pleasant end of the world.

This just came in "Harold Camping admits to have came up with his mathematical predictions by shooting dice in Vegas, he now admits that Texas Hold'em poker might provide the correct Biblical end of the world date."

Poor Mikey..

Our world may not have come to an end,
but Mike's sure has.

Wonder what world he'll construct next...

My prediction: when the world doesn't come to an end, it will not shake the confidence of the believers very much. They will either (1) claim the Rapture DID happen, but almost everyone has been left behind, or (2) find a mistake in their math and push their prediction back to some later date. They will do this without a trace of self-doubt.

I assent with this. The sort of people who believe in end-of-the-world prophecies, and even worse that we can calculate them, are usually driven by something else than reason and rationality. Not to say that it is ever rational to believe in end-time prophecy, but sometimes we try the path of reason, and just end up honestly lost by the wayside. The people who believe in the Camping Rapture are the ones who want to believe it is coming. It is generally, I suspect, an emotional belief.

They will do this without a trace of self-doubt.

They will also merely brush off the fact that they were flat out wrong and proven themselves a false prophet under the rug.

The worst part is that the vast majority their followers with accept all the bull **** as god given gospel and continue to drool at their feet.
