If you aren't familiar with Harold Camping and Family Radio's apocalyptic prediction, http://www.npr.org/2011/05/07/136053462/...oon-enough
Long story short, this spunkgobbling pimple of a man has predicted that the end of the world is coming on May 21, 2011, and has encourage all those who follow him (a surprisingly large number of people) to donate as much money as they can to the endeavor. One man took his entire retirement savings and donated it to the church (after all, won't need it anymore). One family, with at least one child and another cooking in the womb, sold everything, kept just enough money to stay living until May 21, and donated the rest to the ministry.
There is absolutely no indication whatsoever that Harold Camping, whose media empire is worth roughly $120 million (http://www.ministrywatch.com/profile/fam...tions.aspx), and whose personal funds are no doubt 'substantial, has been so total and absolute in his own contributions.
At first, I thought this was just funny nonsense; another example of the Christians gettin all cheeky and setting themselves up for backpedaling. Then I learned that people were actually throwing themselves headlong into financial ruin, while their shepherd, apparently, kept himself cautious without warning his congregation to do the same. The bile has been boiling ever since.
Fuck this guy. This is the face of evil. If he believed this shit, he'd donate everything. He hasn't. We must then conclude that he is a charlatan, riding on the backs of the impressionable and soon-to-be-ruined FAMILIES (not just fucking individuals, we're talking entire families) for the sake of...what? What the fuck does he get out of this? Attention? Some sort of financial kickback?
I hate this man so fucking hard. So. Fucking. Hard.
