What Did Everyone Think of Yesterdays "Rapture" Event?

I feel bad for those who believed in it soo much that they actually did things that could potentially damage themselves in the long run like quit their jobs or pull money from their bank accounts etc. I honestly do not understand why people can not put their faith in themselves.

He apparently needed another 5 minutes of fame. I wonder when we will hear from him again and what he will say happened. gosh, maybe none of us were worthy, lol!

We were at Disneyland and I tured to my sister a bit after it was supposed to happen and said "oops we are still here!" The only bad thing was I lost my wallet. Oh but it was immediately turned in to lost and found without ANYTHING missing. So at least there were miracles! haha.

All I can say is that the Bible clearly states that no one knows the day or the time, and that anyone who falsely prophesies is of the devil. Now, you think everyone would see this man for what he is by now, considering this is just the latest in a string of "predictions" he's made that haven't come true. Well, duh. Everything the man says is so arbitrary...5 is the number of atonement, 10 is the number of completeness, 17 represents heaven (um...having trouble finding this in the Bible) and that if you multiply all those, then square the product (also...having trouble getting the reasoning behind this) and add that to the arbitrary date of April 1, 33 (which was NOT when Christ died, as our calendar is 4-6 years off and we really can't say for sure what day Christ died) you somehow came up with yesterday. Well, we're all still here...

He predicted the Rapture for Sept. 1994. That's long gone. In fact, if that were the case, we've all lived through the Tribulation and are now living in heaven. Don't think so.

Devil. That's all I can say. But I don't really get heated about it...it's just all ridiculousness. I am just so thankful to the almighty Lord that when the day does come, those in my house are ready for it. :)

He's a wolf in sheep's clothing. Don't feel sorry for him. He has made $$$$ off of this stuff and people believe him as though he had a direct line to God. He is a liar and a thief as far as I'm concerned.

If you go to his website, you can purchase a t-shirt that says something like "I survived May, 21, 2011." If he and his followers have been raptured, then who collects the money? Hmmm? Personally I find him and his idiots repugnant.

My 17 year old left a pair of jeans, her favorite shirt, and her skate shoes out on the front lawn yesterday, and her friend took a picture of it and put it on facebook, saying she had been taken to heaven... It was quite hysterical, and a lot of the kids in her circle of friends did it. I think my favorite was of her best guy friend, who left his clothes on the toilet and took a picture.
I'm sorry if this offends anyone! My 17 year old is a outward atheist, and even she said yesterday "I don't believe in god, but if I did, the first thing I would do would be to listen to what the book says. No one will know till it happens"

He's a con man... By tying it to religion, it became a legal con. He convinced people they were "going" and they donated all their financial assets to him/his church.

I've said it before... I'll say it again... It is very sad that ubber Christians believe there is a parallel world where they can exist just like they are in this life (but with their dead loved ones) and they would rather end their life and go to Heaven than cherish their life and live to the fullest.

Wait...what event? Nothing happened, right. He didn't believe his predictions. He was still collecting donations, and still is!! I don't feel sorry for ANY man who rakes in 80 MILLION dollars, for being a false prophet...and taking people for everything they own. He knew what he was doing. I pray for his followers who obviously REALLY need God and not him, and who are now left with nothing and false promises.

there sure are a lot of us sinners left!!! LOL

All of it is nothing but a facade created by man to explain and assess meaning to their own mortality. I find it funny that people still believe in such things.

I have some big feelings about people who use Faith and God as tools for their own profit and power. I'd love to say I have compassion for him, but honestly, I just hope he get's what he deserves.

On the other hand, I'd much rather be broke, but rich in love, than rich, self deluding, manipulative, and despised.

I don't feel sorry for him at all. Did he miss the part in the Bible where it clearly states NO ONE knows when the end of the world will come?
Yes I can pray for him, but no I don't feel sympathy for him.

I didn't think anything of it because I know we can't predict this. I do not feel sorry for him at all, in fact I feel sorry (well, not really) for the idiots who actually gave this man money. All they did was make him rich! He's actually pretty smart for coming up with this idea, knowing how many gullable fools would go along with it.

I didn't think much of the whole thing, really.

Here in Portland, in 1992, there was an earthquake early in the year. A local pastor told the media that God had given him the date of a subsequent earthquake (that year) that was supposed to have leveled our city. Our church's pastor met and prayed with the other pastor and came back with a lot of ambivilence. He himself (our pastor) was fasting and praying as well.

Suffice it to say, you didn't hear about the devastating earthquake of 1992 because it never happened.

Over the last few days, however, I did recall some of the people I met around that time. Like a woman who was decrying the Earthquake prediction because she'd bought into another "end of the world" prophecy in earlier years and it ruined her. She sold her house for less than its value, sold her car; she and her newly-adult son then had no place to live because that Rapture didn't happen as scheduled. I thought about all the kids who were freaked out that their parents were saying the 21st was going to be the end. Then, I thought I'd have a drink because that's a lot of heavy stuff to think about. Amen.

I don't feel sorry for him. He is a con man and he will figure out something else to cause drama and make money$$

I think Mr. Camping didn't read all of his Bible. The part that says no one knows the day or hour .

For someone who claims to know the bible, he must have somehow missed those verses that mention that no one will know the day or the hour.... Unfortunately, he has given Christians, in general, a bad image in the media... even though many Christians don't believe in that whole rapture nonsense.

I also feel sorry for him and his followers for how let down they feel. However, the bible does clearly state that no man will no time or day of Christs return. I believe the rapture will happen, I just dont think any one (not even the angels) will be able to say when it will be.

I feel very sorry for the followers who gave up everything to because they believed it was happening. I think they were very sincere in their beliefs and genuinely were trying to help others. The New York Times had an article about how this event was tearing apart families and there were some families where the adults believed and the kids didn't. It was heartbreaking - one of the teenagers said something like, "I can't count on my parents to help me with my future (college) because they don't believe there is a future. So I'm on my own." But, yeah, I feel sorry for them. I don't know if I can quite bring myself to be sorry for Camping himself because he was still accepting donations on his website right up until the event. It's hard to feel like he really believed what he was saying if he was still collecting money!
