Epic Fail!

Surprise, surprise!  The world shows no signs of ending any time soon, despite all the recent to-do.  
While those who believed in this May 21st nonsense are a slim minority of Christians, it’s important to put things in perspective:  more than 40% of Americans believe that Jesus will return within the next 40 years (source:  Pew Research Center).  The only thing that makes the Family Radio people look any more foolish than religious moderates is that they actually had the gumption to put a date on it.  In this matter, as in most others, the only thing that separates the wackadoo extremists from the “normal” religious moderates is that the extremists actually take their religion seriously, whereas the moderates are fooling themselves as to how fundamentally flawed their beliefs really are.
