The rapture never came. May 21st 2011 came and went just like any other day, and no sort of earthquakes or tremors were recorded of any substantial amount anywhere in the world.
In other surprising news, Harold Camping has now changed the date of the rapture to October 20th 2011. So we have another five months before the world is split open and dead are reclaimed back up to heaven while the rest of us suffer an eternal torment down here on earth. I can't say I'm super surprised, in fact if there had been a sort of earthquake that DID happen, I would have been stoked. I feel as if the world could use a shakeup or two.
But seriously, how are those radical evangelical christians feeling today? Abysmal? Sorrowful? Full of regrets? Maybe not for the fact that they lied, but certainly they've got to have regrets about wasting all that time PREACHING about the end of the world, and all those dollars spent by Camping's Family Radio talk show campaigns.
The last thing I'll say about the supposed rapture that ceased to even exist is that hundreds of radical people have made predictions such as this before. Camping made and wrote a book about the end of the world that was supposed to happen in 1994. Never did. I read a blog earlier on my phone from the UK saying that people who make radical events up that include the end of the world are for one of two reasons. Either they have lost all faith in changing their lives to the point they'd like to, and have since turned their efforts to some cataclysmic event that will bring about the end of the world. Or they simply cannot face their own fears and would much rather face the end of the world as they know it, than face their own livelihood and retribution. I suggest you make your own conclusions and spend some time reading other articles on the web. I'm just writing here to say just another day, not another rapture.
