We now find out about his followers being so distraught over his pronouncements that they go on to commit murder and/or suicide. Now one could say that its not Harold Camping's fault, but I beg to differ. It is his fault. There is a baseline here, and that baseline is that anyone following this douche bag has a severe mind problem. It goes with the territory. I feel bad for these people, they have my sympathy, they need help and they are going to the wrong place to find it. And douche bag is playing the god card which for many is the unlimited infinite drug.
Actually I'm too pissed to write about it rationally at the moment.
Harold Camping is now saying that October 21st is the real date, he was off by 5 months. Translation, expect to read about more people with damaged minds committing suicide and/or murdering people in preparation for October 21st.
Live Science: Failed Doomsday Has Real Deadly Consequences
A California woman named Lyn Benedetto was one of millions who heard Camping's message, and became concerned that her daughters would suffer terribly in the coming apocalypse. She allegedly forced her daughters, 11 and 14, to lie on a bed and then cut their throats with a box cutter. She then tried to kill herself, though police arrested Benedetto and all three survived.
Others were not so lucky. An elderly man in Taiwan reportedly killed himself on May 5 ahead of the Rapture by jumping out of a building. He had heard that doomsday was imminent, and had taken recent earthquakes and tsunamis as early warning signs.

These so called prophets are just a bunch of $$ grabbing weasels in religious garb.
If he was so committed to a Rapture why didn't he give away all his millions in the period preceding to help out people. I'm pretty sure you can't take it with you. Maybe in his version of events you can!
