Rapture: Apocalypse Not

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? Oh wait - wrong Rapture. Sorry Andrew Ryan.

Well it's been a long time since I posted anything, as I've been pretty busy taking care of some future specific goals. I'll have some free time and a hankering to get back in business in the coming weeks though, but I just couldn't let this go.

California Radio evangelist Harold Camping first predicted the End of Days back in 1994, and most recently changed his prediction to localize the Apocalypse in 2011.

First the Rapture was supposed to take place on May 21, 2011 (that's today, if you're keeping tabs), followed by earthquakes across the world beginning at 6PM. And then to just add insult to injury, he predicted the actual end of the world would take place about five months later, on October 21.

Harold's original prediction stated earthquakes would rock Jerusalem at 6PM, well 6PM has come and gone and well... *crickets*

Yup. Nothing. Sad part is I know people who actually bought into the thought of the Rapture going down today.

But good old Harold was never very specific after all, time is pretty relative. Maybe he meant shit was going to hit the fan at around 6PM Pacific Time, considering he's from California.

I'll just keep my fingers crossed. After all, I was really looking forward to some gratuitous Judgement.
