Rapture Ready?

The above sign is located less than a mile from my college in Brisbane, Australia. I thought you would only see this kind of stuff in the deep, dark, depths of Alabama, Kentucky, or Texas. Alas, the eschatoweirdo’s associated with Harold Camping brought some advertizing space as far as Australia!

There is a good article on this over at ABC News with comments by my friend John Dickson, of whom it is reported in the article that come 21 May 11, “he will be enjoying a glass of wine with his wife on Saturday, and preaching a sermon on Sunday morning”.  Dickson also warns: “My real concern is that people’s faith is dependent on these kinds of predictions and when they don’t come true, as invariably will happen, it just sets people up for a massive crisis of faith that they’ve never had”.

Otherwise, someone should send this Harold Camping clown a copy of Michael Gorman’s Reading Revelation Responsibly.
