The Rapture

I'm sure everyone is sick of this rapture talk by now, or maybe not since apparently it never happened, maybe people will talk about it for another 3 days.  But I just want to basically sum up what I have learned from this.  Some old guy named Camping, who is crazy christian and has a lot of money (or should I say his church does), decided to spend millions on an ad campaign to tell everyone that this was the end of the world or so he believed because he did his own version of math and interpreted the bible in a fucked up way.  I'm sorry I just want to sit back and analyze this again.  A rich christian group decided to spend money on advertising the end of the world that only they believed instead of spending that millions of dollars on something oh I don't know...Christian for them to do.  I know it's the same old story, but guess what a kid in Africa just died of aids or some militia probably because of the huge diamond demand that our country help perpetuates, and we go and spend a million dollars, on mainly billboards mind you, to tell everyone the end of the world is coming.  So make sure you believe in Jesus right now and you are good, and nevermind that you be a good person your whole life.  Isn't religion fun?   As long as you are christian, and repent you get into heaven okey dokey.  This guy had nothing to lose, if he was wrong oh God must be changing his plan, but if something fucked up would have happened just think how crazy people would have gotten even if that event had nothing to do with a rapture.  Do you think people in Iceland were losing their shit?

I don't even want to get into the cultural shockwaves this will send through communities.  A lot of people took this seriously.  I bet one person killed themselves.  Sue Camping's ass.  Sue that dude for everything he is worth take every blood cent from that godforsaken man.  I don't care that most of the people that believed him were crazy themselves.  More rational people were probably disturbed by this somehow.  Should he face consequences for launching this campaign?

I wish we could deem rich people crazy and that they don't deserve their money, start with this guy.  These are the rich pricks that I want every person to get an amount of their fortune that deserves it.  I'm not talking about welfare and handouts, I'm talking about the the guy down the street who just lost an arm and is getting screwed out of insurance money because he was trying to save someones life on the line so he knowingly committed the act deemed the courts.  That guy, that guy could probably use $30,000 to straighten his life out he deserves it.  Not this guy who is just going to spend it in his last will and testament that he wants to release everywhere that the world is going to end on December 1, 2030.  He is going to burn his money in that down the line probably.  Just to get one over on the people one more time.    Why not pray for people to see the way if you believe it so much.  Why spend a tsunami's worth of aid budget to just get attention?   Why do the least Christian thing you could probably do?
