>but not in the usual mainstream manner. I have compassion for my

>designed to create chaos and generate publicity and revenue.

>Imagine the children in this situation.  Mom and Dad suddenly go off
>the deep end listening to this self-proclaimed messenger of God.  They
>sell off the house, quit their jobs, and drag the kids across the
>country in a mini-van with the word "Rapture" plastered all over it.
>At the end of the day, the child is now homeless and his parents have
>no means to properly care for him.  That is child abuse and the old
>man who announced this "prophecy" should be brought up on criminal
>charges or hit with a civil suit.  One cannot yell "Fire!" in a
>crowded theatre, and one should not be allowed to maliciously disrupt
>the lives of countless families to the detriment of the children
>involved.  I don't feel sorry for the gullible sheeple adults who fell
>for this nonsense, but their kids have no say in it.

>I have a problem with BS and I have never been afraid to call BS when
>I see it.  The God of Moses will send the messiah like a thief in the
>night and none shall know the day of his arrival.

>I have read 3 translations of the Bible (also the Apocrypha) cover to

>the Bardo Thudo, the Bhagavad Gita, Book of the Mormon, the Classics
>of Confucianism, Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Satanic Bible (a joke
>and insult to the mind, but I had to read it to understand it), the
>Tanakh and the Torah, and I could go on.  In all, I have digested
>about 2 dozen of the world's holiest books during my spiritual search.
>  So I am not anti-religious.  I am anti-BS and this recent rapture
>nonsense was exactly that - malicious BS designed to attract publicity
>and profit.  Or, it was the delusional ramblings of a self-aggrandizer
>who should be medicated and placed in a treatment facility.

>I was baptized, took communion, attended Eucharist, and meditated in a
>Buddhist temple.  I have also attended two Witches' Sabbats.   I think
>you get my point.   I don't mean to offend, and I often stick my foot
>into my mouth.  And when I do offend, I always apologize and mean it.
>I like you Al, always have.  And I don't want you pissed off at me, so
>I hope you can forgive my attempt at humor that started this.

>Jesus was one cool dude, full of love, compassion, and wisdom.  I wish
>everyone could be like him - the world would be a better place.
>Unfortunately, nutjobs like Harold Camping hijack the message of Jesus
>for profit - and people like that should be firmly rebuked, IMO.

>sincere.  :)
