    It's H. Camping, as in Harold Camping. Not that we really care, though.

    I was actually going for the "M." as in "Mister", is that "Mr." instead? Being half french I get those mixed up sometimes.

    I just wanted to make sure. That extra 9 days gives me that many more beers to drink before I go meet satan.

    No, guys. The 21st is the day of the Rapture. If you're still on earth on the 22nd, figure you missed out and are stuck here for some bad times ahead.

    Judgment Day isn't until October 21st.

    Well won't we all feel foolish if people actually disappear on the 21st (leaving behind their nicely folded clothes), and we're left here to heathen-ize ourselves to death?

    I'm seriously interested in finding out what the difference between *natural* disasters and acts of an angry God is to certain religious folks. (*certain* religious folks)

    Well you will now !

    I read an article a while ago about the modern day Mayans on their opinion of their ancestors prophecies and they said that the dates were more to do with agriculture then anything else, not natural disasters. Mayans lived by their planting season because so many people had to be fed. Same as the Aztecs. Everyone had to eat and they where good at providing food for literally thousands of people.

    Just my input, who knows. Mayans happen to be a pet project of mine since visiting Chichen Itza many years ago. It sort of 'grew' (play on words) from there.

    Oh Happy Day!

    Traditionally, man has tried to appease the angry gods of storms and other weather occurrences by sacrificing everything from food to babies.

    I think most Christians believe God created Mother Nature and passively allows her to function as she wills. Of course, if man messes with her, building homes and cities in flood plains and in Tornado Alley, situating nuclear reactors on faults, burning jungles and rain forests, deforesting mountains, etc. isn't it really his own fault if there are catastrophes?
