Are rush orders available for the cards? I mean, if ya need them, this Saturday might be the last chance =P LOL

Yep, we even do Express Mail. But hey: there really isn't a need for much rush, is there? -rc

You are right. The man is plainly a fool. God tells us in the Bible no one but Him knows the day of Jesus' return. Anyone says he knows the date is sorely needing to read all the Bible. Having said that, it is plain that it is apparent you have no faith. I wish you did because everyday we get closer to Christ's second coming. Are you prepared?

Because I call fools what they are, "it is plain that it is apparent" I have no faith? No, you cannot ascertain my beliefs, Michael. I'm secure in what I believe, and don't need help from those who aren't. -rc

That dude is wrong. The end of the world was on May 1, 1959. I know. I was there. We are now in a new world with solid state stuff and LCDs and cell phones and wrist computers that we didn't have before May 1, 1959. We don't even need punched cards or paper tape to run machines any more. Wow. I like this new world.

I feel really bad for the people doing these drastic things; I know they should think about the cost of what will happen if the world doesn't end, but their lives are going to be severely affected by this.

Yes, well, most of the people featured in True have a deficit in the thinking department, eh? That's part of the point: to help people learn that there's a cost to not thinking. -rc

If you have a look at his page -- well I suppose it is his, because... well I suppose -- there is a very interesting fact:

7 BC -- The year Jesus Christ was born (11,006 years from creation).

Wow. I didn't know Jesus was born before he was born. Neat. Nobody ever talks about that! :D

No, eBibleFellowship.com isn't Camping's, that one is from Ralph Workman in Pennsylvania; Camping is in California. In any case, if your contention is that Christ was born on 01/01/0001, you have some learnin' to do. -rc

Camping is 89 - maybe he just means it will be the end of his world.

---

An appealing thought, but it doesn't explain his 1994 prediction.... -rc

At 89, the end of the world for Camping may well be nigh, but I'll pass on the grape Kool-Aid, thanks.

Aw c'mon, I want to at least make it to 40!

Oh, wait (counts on fingers), yep, that's a few days AFTER my birthday. I'll be 40 already... oh god, the world IS ending!

---

Wow: you're the first with a plausible explanation! -rc

Posted by Melanie, Quebec City on May 16, 2011:

Randy, I was being sarcastic. ;) I thought it was funny to see how this person clearly acknowledges facts proven by mere humans. And yet... only to use them to help his own cause, and be a vital part to his fantastic calculation.

Oh, how I love the irony!

Fair enough! -rc

Michael in Missouri has the typical "professional christian" attitude that if one doesn't believe as they do, and most importantly, give them lots of money to spread their hate in god's name, one is, of course, damned. Remember what Ghandi said: "I like your christ, but not your christians...they too often do not act christ-like."

Let's all have a toast to fools on May 22nd!!

I'll drink to that. The full quote is: "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ. The materialism of affluent Christian countries appears to contradict the claims of Jesus Christ that says it's not possible to worship both Mammon and God at the same time." However, there is no authoritative source for Gandhi saying this. It is still a thought-provoking quote, and apparently adapted -- by Gandhi or someone else -- from Bara Dada: "Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians -- you are not like him." Source: E. Stanley Jones, "The Christ of the Indian Road", Abingdon Press,1925 (p114). -rc
