Camping dood it already - October 21, 2011. He forgot to
multiply the month by 2. Seriously. What a predatory prick.

Maybe so, but Camping was smart enough to find people stupid
enough to donate 18.3 million dollars to his "church" last year.

They interviewed one of his acolytes on the radio and she said
she was sitting in her back yard, praying for the end of the
world because she had money troubles.

Possibly her "money troubles" would not have been quite so bad if
she hadn't given her money to that quack.

Once again to paraphrase H. L. Mencken, "You'll never go broke
underestimating the stupidity of the American public". Camping
obviously took that advice to heart.

Desperation or dumbness...that is the question.

(and you've also hit upon why there are, and will continue to be, so
many suicide bombers.)

And as we continue to dumb down the population, there will be a
virtually inexhaustable supply of fools taken in by these
charlatans.


Latest "dumb" (gullible, desperate?) report from Yahoo News:

A woman, believing Camping that the end of the world was near, and not
wanting her daughters to suffer, put both of them on the bed and slashed
their throats with a box-cutter and then did the same to herself.

All three survived, the mom to be arrested.

Never underestimate the depths of human gullibility. :-(
