Stop Bickering. The World Ends Tomorrow

If there's a Rapture and no billboard announces it, has the world really ended?

Yes, or probably, according to the Oakland, Calif.-based Family Radio ministry and its leader Harold Camping, who are sticking to their latest prediction that the world will end - for real this time, well maybe - Friday.

I give this guy credit for being a shrewd businessman.

The End of the World notwithstanding, 2010 tax returns show the Oakland-based nonprofit now has assets of more than $104.8 million, up more than $30 million from the year before.

Donations soared in the months before the expected end in May, and the nonprofit dumped millions of dollars into more than 5,000 billboards worldwide, but those figures will not be public until next year.

I heard non-profit organizations is a good business to be in

People buying 'salvation' at the last minute?? :ROFL:
Kinda like standing in line at the bank when a robbery goes down. Giving the teller all your money to pay off your bank card.

Mr. Camping's delusions (or con game) aren't any different than those of any other religious person. People hear voices in their heads about going to heaven or the second coming or whatever. Same thing. Different magnitudes. Both ridiculous. The catholics, the jews, the hindu, the muslims, etc all have some sort of weird predictions that when looked at by other religions seem wrong. Everyone thinks their god and beliefs are right. In fact they are certain. It seems like an illness.
