I'm actually surprised that no one has brought this up before now. I'm sure that we've all heard (in one way or another) that the Rapture was supposed to happen over the weekend. I was wondering everyone's thoughts on Harold Camping -- the man who tried to predict the end of the world in 1994, and then tried to rework his math. Let's try not to flame the man. We all know his efforts are in vain, but they do pose some interesting questions.
--Is it wrong to make such an attempt to uncover the date of the Rapture/start of judgements?
--Would Harold Camping qualify under the heading of "false prophet" or was he simply misguided?
--What do you think the effects of his prophecy not coming true are going to be on his followers?
--What do you think will happen to both Camping and his followers should October also be a letdown?
--Is there any way to convince the people who wholeheartedly believe in the coming Armageddon that they could be mistaken?
