Errant 'Rapture' Prophet Harold Camping Suffers a Stroke

Last Thursday, the elderly pastor and Family Radio host best known for birthing an all-consuming "May 21st" rapture meme suffered a stroke and was hospitalized. The Oakland Tribune reported that the 89-year-old Harold Camping's voice "may never be the same" after suffering a stroke that left his speech "a little bit slurred" according to a unnamed neighbor.

Back when we thought the rapture prophecy was both humorous (look at this van) and deeply sad (too many naive supporters lost their life savings for a lie), it was impossible to ignore the frequent jokes about Harold Camping's age factoring into his apocalyptic prognostication. "He's 89. Actuarially speaking, he's probably not that far off," quipped Jon Stewart about the Family Radio host before the May 21st date.

He, like many radio and television evangelists, will have to face the truth one day. They are all biding their time because they actually don't believe in God or Jesus. They know that the masses are sheep and most are afraid to die. When people become sick or have unfortunate circumstances they can be easily manipulated to let go of their life savings or last dime to get to the eternal blissful paradise called heaven.

Hate to make fun of anyone in pain, but he really phucked up people's lives, so screw him.

Maybe God said... dude... I didn't mean everybody... just you.

just need to remember that it is their end not the worlds end they are experiencing.
