This pretty much speaks for itself.

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.

More Rapture fun in a clip from Six Feet Under.   The “I Brake for the Rapture” bumper sticker is a wonderful touch.    

Regarding May 21, 2011…

There has always been some homosexuality in the world, of course, but now it is successful everywhere it turns. Whole nations no longer consider it a sin, even though it is a sin. It fits into place now — God has orchestrated this to indicate we are right at the end. We are at the threshold of being destroyed by fire and brimstone.
Harold Camping, the fundamentalist responsible for the prediction that judgment day will be May 21, in this interesting Washington Post article

An individual received this letter from the business that mows her lawn, saying they’re certain Judgment Day will be May 21, 2011.  But they’ll be running their business right up to that day.

Would you want to, I don’t know, take a vacation or a sabbatical or something to prepare for Armageddon, if you were so certain of it?

Let’s hope they’re not too distraught to mow lawns on the 22nd.
