Rapture!

Being a believer myself, I'm pretty appalled at the recent "Rapture Bomb" craze that's going around. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, Harold Camping, a kindly old preacher predicted that Rapture begins on May 21, 2011. Thereby ignoring a crucial chapter in the New Testament, which Jesus Himself spoke:

[excerpt] But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,^[d] but only the Father. [excerpt]

What followed in May 21,  was a typical sitcom moment, where a flabbergasted preacher was left wondering why the world did not end, and rapture punks creating another meme.

 How Matt 24:30-44 can be misinterpreted is beyond me. But the folly of man to assume that mere calculations can lead to an answer which only the Father in Heaven knows is reprehensible. These verse mean that one should be constantly be on the lookout and be prepared for the rapture. Not assume it is on that day and then lead a merry sinful life for even the "last repenter" will be given forgiveness. Or give up your worldly duties bcause it's going to end anyway.

Thus arises a mockery of rapture, true believers and Christ's forewarning. And it has not ended. The next deadline, is apparently Oct 21, 2011.
