The World Didn't End, Now Can We All Work for a Better Existence Here?

Now that we have all survived Judgment Day (again) will this be enough to move people from mass delusion about mythical rescue, and instead get them to concentrate on the world around them?

Those duped by the latest prognostication spent millions of dollars around the world furthering the idiocy, some even walking completely away from the lives they led. Giving up savings, jobs, family, and friends - for what?

The announced end of May 21, 2011 didn't happen. Harold Camping is 89 years old, and gets to enjoy the rest of his old age with a lot more money. Other charlatans are already stepping up to claim he was wrong about the date. The bigger question is why do so many, especially in America, hold out hope for mass genocide, with a chosen few rescued?

If more people could come to see the folly in living your life for a promised afterlife, perhaps they would be encouraged to spend their time and resources in more productive ways. If a sizable portion of all the money thrown at the evangelical Christian organizations in the United States went to constructive uses, how many could benefit?

I know the old argument about churches doing good work will come up, but the fact is secular charities do a much better job helping people in need. For starters, they don't have to build enormous cathedrals as monuments to the excesses of faith. They don't have to support salaries for proselytizing.

The people of New Zealand were among the first to pass the 6:00 p.m. local time threshold, and as all appeared well, the world issued a collective sigh of relief. Not really, the vast majority of people knew the day would come and go pretty much like any other. Now those of faith need to see the logic in discarding the myth altogether.


God has said no to May 21. Believers need to realize it's not because he likes another day, but because their hopes, fears, and world views are structured around something that isn't real. The time to walk away is now. Don't just think Harold Camping had the wrong day.

Believers in End Times prophesy, come over to the actual world, and join us in making it a better place. If we all work together, perhaps we can be here for a very long time.
