Guy who predicted the end of the world three times this year decides to hang em up


Huffington Post- Three proposed Rapture dates have come and gone, and the world has not ended.
Controversial Christian broadcaster Harold Camping has acknowledged his faulty projections, and issued an apology to his followers. The Christian Postreports that the longtime radio evangelist has retired.
Brandon Tauszik, documentarian, told the Postexclusively that he had spoken to Camping, who seemed "disappointed" by his failed predictions and said he "is no longer able to lead Family Radio Stations, Inc., or his ministry."
In an audio message posted on Camping's Family Radio website, the 90-year-old broadcaster told his listeners that the Rapture did not occur October 21 because it was ultimately God's will. "He could have stopped everything if He had wanted to," he said.
In addition, he admits that his calculations were wrong and tells his followers that "we should be very patient about this matter. At least in a minimal way we are learning to walk more and more humble before God."

I guess Harold Camping was watching the Cards win the World Series and decided to go out just like Tony Larussa. Scratch that he saw Brett Favre retire a few years ago and wanted to go out like Brett Favre.  When you're 0-100 on apocalypse predictions I guess that's when you realize that apocalypse predictions might not be your strong suit. Harold Camping was the Brett Favre of the Bible. Just gunslinging doomsday predictions all the way til the end. Stuck to his guns. Was always true to himself. Convinced people nationwide to quit their jobs and build apocalypse bunkers. A little disappointed he didn't stick it out til 2012 when the apocalypse actually does come and the Cubs win the World Series, but hey you have to respect his decision.
