I usually try to refrain from poking fun at anyones religion or lack of religion. But, Harold Camping is making that hard to do. I can't wait to hear what kind of bullshit he's going to be talking Sunday when nothing happens. What an idiot.

Camping is a big joker. A joker who's pulled a stunt like this before. The sad part is that
He might really believe what He's saying, and He's gotten others to believe it too.

That said, there is sect of Christians who believe this bile, but I would say 90% of Christians even think this guy is a joke.  Did you guys have billboards on your local highways talking about this 5/21/11 judgement day date?  I saw it everyday on the way to work.

Well, 6:00 p.m. has come and gone everywhere from Kiritimati to Western Samoa, and we're all still here.  I suppose now that that feather-brained imbecile Camping will come up with a new date.  I hear that there's one available in December of 2012.  Now maybe he should take himself and his flock of nitwits (including the politicians) and go join up with Bin Laden and his 72 vegans.

I don't understand why people bother figuring out when the world will end. I mean, who cares? It happens when it happens. We're all better off not knowing anyway. And we'll probably be long dead when it does because it may not happen until the year 3000, or 5000, or 10000, etc... So again I say, who cares when the world ends?!!

Besides, it says that we won't know when the end will come in the Bible itself, which means a prediction is futile.

Poissonally, I think Clowning should have set the time for Novander 6th at 1:30 a.m.  That way, yon farce would occur twice -- once during Daylight Saving Time, and once during Standard Time.

Brent keeping his verbal pimp hand strong at the expense of the brothers Farrelly and Benjamin. Kudos.

I was going to bite my heathen tongue but I feel compelled to address this as every time I see something like this assclown Camping it disturbs me. Christian wackadoos like Camping, Ray and Kirk and Pat Robertson are so warped by their religiosity and interpretations of ancient Hebraic texts that are irrelevant to purveyors of reason in this the 21st century is what I like to call "dangerous Christianity". These people are not running around like Chicken Little crying "the sky is falling": they want this bullshit to happen. They are not afraid of this rapture nonsense actually taking place and the planet being destroyed comic book style, they get their jollies off of the idea and think they have right, they are "good Christians" and why concern yourself with this trivial world when you are going to spend eternity with Yahweh and Jesus?

This is the exact same thinking sex-deprived Muslim suicide bombers have: why concern yourself with your life on Earth when you are going to get lots of virgin tail when you die? The fact that people actually think like this can be more frightening than funny when you look at it that way.

But actually, I'm not really sure there IS such a thing as an intelligent Arab. There have been great minds from all countries that contributed theory's, inventions and major accomplishments in ALL fields of endeavor, save the Arabs.

Has there ever been an Arab chess Grand Master? A great Arab athlete? Hell, name any category of excellence and show me an Arab.

Arabs of note: Danny Thomas, Paul Anka, Ralph Nader, Omar Shariff and Paula Abdul. A sad fucking list.

From a "non-heathen" viewpoint, the real problem with Camping is that he tries to make something out of one thing the "ancient text" says, in somewhat mysterious terms, while pointedly ignoring something the same text says clearly.

Wow! That prejudice diatribe blows my anti-religious diatribe out of the water. Back in the Dark Ages when Christians were burning "witches" and condemning Gallileo for having the gall to say that the Bible might be wrong about the shape of the planet Muslims were actually progressive and making many advances in science, math, medicine and art. They also kept a lot of ancient history alive that the "intelligent" Judeo Christians wanted to destroy for posterity like the Ancient Greek texts because they were "Pagan" in origin. Nowadays you see oppressive governments stifling such advancements in the name of Islam but it wasn't always this way.

My comparison with the Campings of the world to the Muslim suicide bombers still stands. Neither care about the here and now due to their interpretation of some irrelevant texts written by moronic desert dwellers thousands of years ago. Not all Arabs or Muslims are this way, just as all Christians are not. I was hoping I would not have to resort to stating that, but then again I forgot you're on the site.

I'll give you a great Arab athlete: The Iron Sheik. If you don't agree don't come bitching to me when he finds you, suplexes you, breaks your back and fucks your ass to humble you.
Title: Re: The Rapture?

I hate to be technical, but the Sheik is Persian (Iranian) You call an Iranian an Arab and you got a fight on you hands! I KNOW you did not know that. I didn't know it until I got a job working with them. Different as nite and day.

I know very little of Arab history, but I suspect you are merging Arabs with Persians. That's like merging Chinese with Japs.

Ok, how about Doug Flutie? He's Arab. Then we have Yasser Seirawan, a four time US Champion...Chess grandmaster! Holy shit, one of those stinky Arabs actually managed to figure out how to not only move a Chess piece properly but became a grandmaster! Not only that but there's also Jennifer Shahade (Chess grandmaster) Jeff George (NFL Quarterback), Frank Zappa, Shakira, Salma Hayek, F. Murray Abraham, Steve Jobs, Dr. Michael DeBakey (inventor of the heart pump) among others.

And it was the Arabs who brought us Algebra, not the Persians. It's not Arab people I have a problem with (unlike you); it's the religion of Islam, which I hold with the low level or regard and high level of contempt as Christianity.

They started out as basically the same fucking religion but have greatly diverged over the centuries.

Naming all those 1/2 breed and 1/4 breed Arabs (Zappa sticks out as I know he is Italian, Greek, Arab) lends little to the argument as those people are Americans, raised here. Sans Salma from Mexico.

It's Arab immigrants that I rail against. Those motherfuckers are messed up.

Once again you display your ignorance of what is and what is NOT a racist. Last month I said that Jordan tried to speak "White". You apparently don't know that speaking "white" is the term used by BLACK folks to describe other blacks that try to talk 'proper', much as blacks with strait or wavy hair are referred to as having "good" hair. I don't fault you for not knowing that. It's obvious your exposure on a personal level with Blacks is limited. I was raised by my Black Grandparents on the North side of St. Louis (90% black) My 1st wife was black and all my grandkids are too.

My observations on the matter of race is backed up by a lifetime of living on BOTH sides. (2nd wife white) If you presume to have a better understanding of the issue it is YOU that is sorely missguided.



I am, however annoyed that you ignored my statement that it was Arab IMMIGRANTS that I don't like. A typical racist, for example hates ALL people of a certain race due to their skin color, regardless of their social station, or country of origin.

I told you that I worked with many Arab men and found them to be completely void of honesty. Blunt, arrogant hatefull men with a pathological hatred for all things Jewish. I actually made friends with one of them. I went to his house to drink and play chess over a period of a few months. In all that time I never met his wife as she would stay in the basement and would holler up at him for stuff. Do you see how twisted that was? I guess she did not like to wear a veil in her own house.

That kind of bullshit never happens in a 2nd generation Arab home.

Your belief that I'm dumb shows more of your ignorance. While not a Mensa like you MY I.Q. is 132....it was when tested in the 6th grade and is still 132 now.

I'll tell you something else you did not know about Arabs: Next to Jews and marital infidelity Arabs hate Homosexuals. I had a conversation with 2 Arab coworkers on the subject: The big brother said that if he found out his little brother was a fag he would kill him. I looked at the little brother for his reaction and he said "If I was a fag I would WANT him to kill me".

Do you see that the Arab male has a completely whacked out way of thinking? I hate them, and have had enuff personal contact with them to justify it.  I don't really expext you to understand or agree with my words....you know it all. I could go into what I think your shortcomings are, but as I don't KNOW you personally it would be a tad speculative.

I'm a guest here, playing in your backyard where you seem to be the designated internet bully/hatchet man. I have to temper my words while you are free to unleash any venom you like. The bitch of it is, I like this forum and the minds that contribute, so I will continue to suffer your abuse. I recognize that you are a gifted writer, probably frustrated that you were never published (or have you been?)

Whatever the case, you need to get off of my ass, Big Dog. I know that you know the meaning of the word 'diplomacy', but choose to ignore it. Lose some of the venom Bro'....and I will post less when I'm juicing. Maybe we can meet on a common ground.  Or not.

Where I do begin with this massive steaming pile of horseshit? First of all, your racial makeup does not give you a pass on racism. Generalizing and entire group of people, whether from personal experience with a few people or not is racism at its finest. You are generalizing Arabs (or Arab immigrants if you want to get picky) and acting as if they are all nameless, faceless drones who act exactly the same. You are a racist.

What's in an I.Q. number? For all I know you pulled the 132 out of your ass. My I.Q. is 150 and I have absolutely no way of proving that. I could say my I.Q. is 500 or something even more ridiculous and it would mean the same as saying my I.Q. is 101 or less. You have proven time and again that you are moronic; from your inability to understand why it is not cool to post a bunch naked pictures for no other reason than to post naked pictures (so much so that Rob had to amend the fuckin' rulebook) to your inability to understand such simple things as properly embedding a YouTube video or trying to stump people with "guess this person" pictures then leaving their names in the file names. You act like it's advanced rocket science but it isn't. You are an idiot.

I have been published, but nothing worth bragging about. You can call me a bully all you want (I rather like "hatchet man") but what your feeble mind fails to understand is that behind the scenes I have actually gone to bat for you when many other members wanted me to throw you out on your ass. Look around Boid, most of the other members do not like you whatsoever. I may be tough but I am most certainly fair and more diplomatic than you think.

For the time being I am giving you a little "time out", putting the Dunce Cap on your head and sitting you in the corner. I'm going to let you calm your ass down for a few days and restrict you from posting then you can come back. Consider yourself lucky, I've banned many people over the years and some of them for less than this. If Rob or Doug have decided they have had enough of your shit and decide to ban you then you're shit out of luck.

PS: The "venom" is what makes me "me". I couldn't lose it if I wanted to and I don't want to. Go fuck yourself.

This site compiles a bunch of end-of-the-world scenarios, all ranging from scientific, philosophical, and religious, to just plain ridiculous. (http://www.exitmundi.nl/exitmundi.htm)
In my opinion, the most likely scenarios won't happen in our lifetime.  As an agnostic, I say the world will end when the world ends.  In the meantime, I'm just going to enjoy life.

That's the thing. The world will most likely end AFTER our lifetime, so I don't understand why idiots like Camping waste their time on this. Just enjoy life and quit trying to figure out the end of the world through asinine calculations.

The world may very well end during our lifetime, at least as we know it.  Remember, humanity is insane enough to have invented the weapons to achieve the effect.

All I know is I have no control over the end of the world, so I don't bother thinking much about it.  Be good to yourself, be good to others, be open minded, cheer for The Red Sox, realize you probably don't know the answers, eat Mexican food weekly, and the rest will take care of itself.  That's my philosophy, and I'm still trying to perfect it.

The biggest problem with goof balls like Camping is that they make Christianity look silly to non-believers (not to mention confusing naive Christians who should know better if they actually read the New Testament.)  The founder of the faith made it clear that it is pointless to guess when He would come again, and emphasized that we should live every day as though it could be our last (which it certainly could, for any of us.)  You would think that after so many wrong predictions people would stop listening to nutcases like Camping, Hal Lindsey, Al Gore, et al, but they always manage to find some suckers and the media loves to play up end-of-the-world predictions to scare the gullible.

Like Doug, I don't bother to worry about when or how the world will end, since I have absolutely no control over it no matter what happens.

Back in the Dark Ages when Christians were burning "witches" and condemning Gallileo for having the gall to say that the Bible might be wrong about the shape of the planet Muslims were actually progressive and making many advances in science, math, medicine and art. They also kept a lot of ancient history alive that the "intelligent" Judeo Christians wanted to destroy for posterity like the Ancient Greek texts because they were "Pagan" in origin.
With all respect, you're buying some common misconceptions about history there.

Galileo, for one: The position he stood against had nothing to do with the Bible. It was actually current "science" that the Catholic church adopted in spite of what the Bible said.

Actually I had attached the wrong idea to Mr. Galilei, lol. He defended heliocentrism (the Sun is stationary and the planets revolve around it, which we now know to be true of course) and the ideas of Copernicus. He went to Rome to defend Copernicus' ideas and ask the RCC not to ban them and later on (under request from the Pope of the time) wrote Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems and was found guilty of "heresy" by the Inquisition, eventually condemned to house arrest. At the time (and some would say even today) the RCC was a 1984-esque Thought Police and if you weren't in lock step with their official positions you were toast. I'm surprised no one caught me on that.

Harold Camping suffers stroke.

Stoke, stroke, Coke, or choke, it should have happened to him 89 years ago.

I know strokes are a serious matter, and Camping is only human, but I had a hard time trying not to grin.  If there is a god, I want him or her to know that I apologize.
