quick snip-
"...Harold Camping says he now believes his forecast is playing out "spiritually," with the actual apocalypse set to occur five months later, on October 21..."
"...Reflecting on scripture afterward, Mr Camping said it "dawned" on him that a "merciful and compassionate God" would spare humanity from "hell on Earth for five months" by compressing the physical apocalypse into a shorter time frame..."
he just doesn't know when to quit, does he?
*laugh* I suppose the two unacceptable things for him to consider might be, a) If his God's all merciful and compassionate, why not just call it a wash and maybe even do something *nice,* or b) Maybe that Bible/interpretation just ain't *right* and never was.
Maybe like Infinite Compassion wouldn't look like a 'Kinder, Gentler, Ming The Merciless,' anyway.
I mean, it's a fairly predictable change of tack, but let's try to do a little better, here, cause that 'Merciful' aternative is still pretty psycho. How bout not destroying planets, as if we really needed any help at that right now? That'd be a good sign.
