The Rapture! ...didn't happen...

Well, just like every other rational, sane person on the planet, I thought the rapture was complete bullshit. It didn't happen; who could have known? Oh, wait. Anyone. Anyone who isn't a complete waste of space would have known that there was no reason for a magical sky wizard to make his 200 million best followers disappear, and yes that is how many people were supposed to be raptured. The man that "predicted" this rapture also "predicted" one in 1994 and has more backup rapture dates. That man being christian radio broadcaster Harold Camping. He swindled many people out of thousands of dollars to go towards warning people of the impending rapture. That makes me wonder, how much of that money was used warning people and how much was kept for himself?

Update 6/18/11: This week Mr. Camping had a stroke. Maybe its a partial rapture?

The Tiny Christian Universe

This is something that has never crossed my mind before. As fundamentalist Christians believe the universe/Earth is somewhere between 10,000-6,000 years old. Now if this were true the universe would only be 20,000-12,000 light years across. Pretty interesting article below.

Religion is going extinct!

A new study shows that religion is on the decline in NINE western democracies! Although it does not predict anything about America, this still gives me some hope for America.
