Do you remember the 21st May 2011? As should go under the world . Huge earthquake would destroy the world, triggered by God himself. Would have on 21 May the Last Judgement and mark the unbelievers in hell and the good people are directly rapture to heaven. This has been Harold Camping came up, a Christian fundamentalist and cult leaders from the U.S. in the weeks before the 21st of the Deducted May, a huge advertising campaign has to convince as many people believe that God will soon judge them. Was the basis for the allegation about the approaching end of the world, of course not - camping (the end of the world had also been predicted for 1994) just a couple of meaningless mathematical calculations did to figures from the Bible. Therefore, it was clear to the thinking part of the world is not surprising that the Last Judgement on 21 May is failed and the earth was not destroyed. But someone like camping of course can not admit he was wrong - that was at once a new date for the end of the world proclaimed.
For the 21 May was not the day of the real world destruction. On 21 May God wanted to scare people a little and piss. The people of God should deliberately be led astray , to lead them to take pride in mind. In addition, the earthquake was somehow not meant literally. The man of God was indeed made of earth and the "earthquake" on 21 May therefore the people were "shocked".
Harold Camping himself suffered shortly after the failure of his prophecies in May of a stroke , but is now fit again so far as to be able to continue to talk nonsense. For the world is definitely still is on the website of camping "Family Radio" explains:
"We can be sure that the whole world, with the exception of the far saved (the elect), is under God's court and will be dropped along with the whole Earth on 21 October 2011. "
The sad thing is not at that Harold Camping and his sect are not able to let this nonsense. That was expected. They are also on 22 October, when the world will be very surprising not already gone down again, the next excuse to hand. Rather sad that is as it was then again a lot of people fall for these religious kooks are -. Emails from people who prior to 21 October provide spin, again on a regular basis with me (strangely enough, it means there is often that scientists predicted the apocalypse for May, would have been quite wrong and that the new "data" now show on the 21st of October).
But I have not given up hope, but not that of one or the other of these episodes at least a little something to learn. If someone twice fixed in half a year to convince the world was going to announce and two terrific fails, then that brings maybe a few people to think and to not to take everything seriously, what gives anyone anywhere by themselves - even if it is scary. But ok - the Jehovah's Witnesses, for example, the world was going to have success for 1874, 1914, 1925 and 1975 (officially, unofficially gabs a few more dates) predicted, while still always just 200,000 members in Germany (and a few million worldwide ). Against religious fundamentalism helps apparently not even the reality.
