Harold Camping predicts Christ will return on May 21, 2011.

Judgment Day is just a few days away. Christ will return on May 21, 2011, according to Harold Camping, founder of We Can Know radio.

Camping has been spreading the word about the final days via his Christian Network (that consists of a radio station and companion website), www.wecanknow.com.

We Can Know is the organization behind a series of biblical billboards that bear the date of the Rapture. The organization’s philosophy is that, “We can know something about how God will behave in the future by looking at how He has behaved in the past (Hebrews 13:8). Since He has given advance notice of the precise timing for judgment in the past, we should not be surprised that He is revealing the timing of the end today.”

The We Can Know end of the world campaign has included bumper stickers, pamphlets and even a few mainstream interviews to get the message out.

Follower Kevin Brown said to NPR that God has told him to spread the word about May 21, 2011. “People need to know,” Kevin Brown told NPR, “and God commands us to share the Gospel about the end of the world. He says if we do not share the Gospel then their blood will be on our hands, whether they believe or not. God’s been moving me to do this.”

Camping arrived at the date by the Good Book, which he says predicts that the Rapture is to occur 7,000 years after God’s first warning about the flood. Camping said the flood happened in 4990 B.C., on what would have been May 21 on today’s calendar.

One day equals 1,000 years to God, and God gave Noah one week of warning. And thus, there is a 7,000-year gap between Noah’s flood and the Rapture, bringing us to May 21, 2011.

Not everyone believes the clock will run out on May 21. The American Vision organization points out that Camping initially said the end of the world would occur in 1994.

“In spite of the failure of his 1994 Rapture prediction, Harold Camping is predicting May 21, 2011, as the date the Rapture will take place,” the organization states. “American Vision is so confident that Camping is wrong, we are holding our National Prophecy Conference just a few weeks after his predicted rapture date.”

Judgment Day is also a great week to throw a party, according to the American Atheists, who do not believe in God. The Atheists are hosting a Rapture after-party to prove that Camping is wrong. –zondra hughes

An attempted murder-suicide in California on March this year. By: Kristal Roberts

PALMDALE, Calif. - A California woman who says she wanted to protect her children from the May 21 “tribulation” is in jail after slitting the throats of her daughters’ before cutting her own back in March, KTLA reports.

Lyn Benedetto, 47, told authorities that to prevent her family from suffering, she had her daughters, 11 and 14, lie on a bed, took a box cutter knife to their throats, then cut herself March 19.

The suspect reportedly drove the victims to a friend’s home that she thought was empty, planning to die there.

Lancaster deputies say they responded to call regarding an assault with a knife around 5:30 p.m. from the owner of that home.

The mother was found at the location and arrested. The two victims were taken to Antelope Valley Hospital for “moderate though non life threatening injuries” and released to custody of Department of Children’s Services.

Benedetto is being held on a $1 million bail.

I wonder what the mother is thinking now.

No, they are very real, with an absurd claim, so they ARE RIDICULED and MOCKED, EVIDENCED BY THIS VERY THREAD. The news media all covered the story and they all approached it with a raised eyebrow. Ask yourself why? Is that really news?

Yes, they drove around in painted RVs and had pretty billboards made up because they didn't want attention.

So because someone drives a painted RV and makes a billboard advertisment, that actually makes it newsworthy? Yeah, right.

So, you admit, the story was released, knowing they would be mocked and ridiculed.

I don't presume to know what goes on inside the heads of these people.

Sure you do, or you wouldn't have said people like a good freakshow. Why else would the story be released?

You are flailing around a little. I said that I don't presume to know what goes on inside their heads (that they knew that they'd be mocked).

The story was released because these people chose to seek attention. They could have just as easily holed up in a bunker to wait for the rapture. They didn't.

Do you actually have a point to make? If so, what is it?

Everyone seeking attention will now become news.

Sure thing, Ringo.

I'll take that, as you falling on your sword.

No, not everyone. But, if you drive around in RVs and put up billboards stating that the world is going to end on a specific day, yes, you are going to get media attention. I don't even know why you are arguing that it won't. It did.

So, again, what is your point (if you have one)?

I think his point is that the media should ignore the idiots in the Christian corner, but go ahead and make spectacles out of everyone else.

It's the same, tired, poor, poor put-upon Christian story.
