I wonder if the mad people from madland who pushed around to the extremely gullible that Saturday May 21st was Judgement Day did it out of cruelty, naivity, stupidity, or all three.

The explanation as to how May 21st was arrived at is, as are most crazy mumbo-jumbo things associated with any of the Middle Eastern originating religions, full of huffing and puffing, extremely long-winded and shrouded in even more mumbo-jumbo. However, Multi-Millionare Harold Steptoe Camping is careful to explain that he had to deduct one year as there is no year ‘zero’ inbetween BC and AD (AD is ‘Anno Domini’, latin for ‘year of our lord’, is what the god-botherers call what is more properly known as CE, ‘Current Era’) in order to do his calculation.
What Millionaire Loony Camping failed to do was adjust his calculations to incorporate the swap from the Julian to Gregorian calendar which happened in the 1580s. In fact, depending on how you measure it, between 10 and 13 days were ‘lost’ as the Gregorian calendar was ‘re-synced’ to end up as it is internationally agreed to be today. There were riots in the streets at the time that this happened because the population of the day (the small minority that understood these things) were convinced that days were being stolen, and their lives deliberately shortened as part of some plot.
Here’s the bottom line in plain English, if Millionaire Loony Camping’s muddled calculations had been correct, then his Judgement Day would have been due around, say, May 10th-ish. May 10th of course, nothing happened. The world carried on turning with only the likes of Family Radio and all the bandwagon-jumping Christian organisations getting richer by feeding off the stupid.
I can only guess that this now moves the final end of the universe from his predicted October 21st to October 10th.
Of course, there’s always the possibility that Millionaire Loony Camping was able to do some magical forward calculation. The problem of the 10 to 13 days still stands though. Hey, I guess this means that Judgement Day could be June 1st!
June 1st? Yikes. Maybe there’s something in all this, as the long range weather forecasters (not the Met Office as their faith in the Global Warming religion means they can’t predict beyond 3 days) are saying we in the UK will be in the middle of a long hot dry sweltering and parched summer.
Hot, dry, sweltering, parched?
Sounds like Hell on Earth! Erm…?!?


so he was wrong ….. it isn't the end of the world …
