I really hope you are right about this, but I have a sinking feeling that many will listen to him, over, and over and over again. The more dates he gets wrong, the more money that goes into his bank account.

After the May fiasco a mother died and her children contested the will of their mother. The mother left $300,000 to Camping in her will. The siblings felt that if their mother knew that the world was NOT coming to an end, she would have NOT given Camping the money. Kids lost, will was upheld.

Hmm, if mom gave Camping money because of the coming of the rapture, does this mean that mom believed Camping would not have been saved and would still be alive to spend the money after the rapture?

None of this makes sense to me, thankfully!

What a terrible waste.

Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?

Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?

Young Earth Creationists take offense at the idea that we have a common heritage with other animals. Why is being the descendant of a mud golem any better?

I agree. With both of you. I pray that people won't be that foolish again. READ THE BIBLE PEOPLE!

Wait a minute, if you don't want people to be foolish then why in the world would you advise them to read the Bible, which, is a book full of errant foolishness from cover to cover???

Because the Bible is not foolish, it is not a book of lies. Why would you read any book, anyway? They are fake. Lies. Fake people. Fake places. Fake time. Even if the Bible wasn't true, which it is, what would be the difference?

No, some books are full of factual truth. Other books are part true and part false. While others are entirely false. Technically, the bible is partially true and partially false. Some of the people and places are real while others are entirely mythological. But all in all, there is a steady stream of foolishness running throughout starting with the two creation accounts and moving forward...

And WHO is mythical? Sorry, but every single detail in that book is true. You are very sadly mistaken. I feel bad for adults that are blinded to the truth. I mean, I'm 13 and know more than you. Wow. That's big.

Lets start with Adam, Noah, and Abraham. Which do you KNOW are real? Please provide the evidence for their existence. The best efforts of archeaology have yet to find any such evidence:

I told you I'm not watching vids. They are real. God wiped away any evidance. Even if he didn't I thought you said the earth is a million years old. Wouldn't it be buried underneath all the dirt that's pilled up after all that time?
