"Were [sic] not changing a date at all; we're just learning that we have to be a little more spiritual about this," he said in a rambling 90-minute radio broadcast that was part sermon, part press conference. "But on Oct. 21, the world will be destroyed. It won't be five months of destruction. It will come at once."At least he won't post any more billboards.
"We don't need to talk about it anymore," Camping said. "The world has been warned - my it has been warned. We have done our share and the media picked it up. The world has been warned that it is under judgment."Third time's the charm, or so Camping must be hoping after having swung and missed twice. (He first predicted the end would come in 1994.)
Actually, I suspect Camping just doesn't give a damn. He has deluded himself and others into believing he has a special insight into the Bible, a document of whose historically muddy origins he must either be ignorant or heedless. He is old enough not to care what harm he does with his confident predictions of doom. Worse, he might even believe his own propaganda and think he is doing the Lord's work.
If Christianity is The Answer, I'm headed to Hell. My torment will be an eternity of listening to Harold Camping in the next-door pool of fire lamenting, "Where did I go wrong?"
