They're convinced that there is an appointed time, and that there is a way of divining the will of God. Of course, making it impossible to know the hour of reckoning is a fantastic way to circumvent accountability.
This guy made the mistake of attempting to give any kind of tangibility to the divine. His faith has fallen short. If he really had it, he would know that anything even remotely suggesting the perceptibility and/or reality of God is missing the point. I think it's jumping to conclusions to say he's a scam artist. People underestimate the extent to which people will go to give themselves hard evidence of God's existence.

Doomsday prophet, followers ‘flabbergasted’ world didn’t end
By Liz Goodwin – Mon May 23, 11:25 am ET
It's hard to feel bad for someone whose doomsday predictions caused so much anxiety, but 89-year-old Harold Camping's recent admission that he's "flabbergasted" the world didn't end last weekend sounds somewhat pitiful.
"It has been a really tough weekend," Camping said Sunday, after emerging from his Alameda, California home for the first time to talk to a reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle. "I'm looking for answers ... But now I have nothing else to say," he said, adding that he would make a full statement today.
Camping's PR aide, Tom Evans, told the L.A. Times that the group is "disappointed" that 200 million true believers weren't lifted up to heaven on Saturday while everyone else suffered and eventually died as a series of earthquakes and famine destroyed the Earth. "You can imagine we're pretty disappointed, but the word of God is still true," Evans said. "We obviously went too far, and that's something we need to learn from." The group posted 2,000 billboards around the country warning of the rapture, while Camping--an uncertified fundamentalist minister--spread the word on his radio show.
Camping's Family Radio, which airs on 66 U.S. stations, has apparently rebranded itself quickly. Business Insider notes that the station's website has scrubbed all mentions of the Judgment Day. The site previously featured a countdown clock to the May 21 rapture on its homepage.
But the false prediction might not be so easily effaced from the lives of Camping's followers. The L.A. Times writes that Keith Bauer, a 38-year-old tractor trailer driver, took a road trip with his family to see the Grand Canyon before the world ended.
"With maxed-out credit cards and a growing mountain of bills, he said, the rapture would have been a relief," the paper writes.
But Bauer is not angry at Camping for his false prediction. "Worst-case scenario for me, I got to see the country," he told the paper. "If I should be angry at anybody, it should be me."
Robert Fitzpatrick, who spent $140,000 of his life savings to advertise the rapture in New York, said he was dumbfounded when life went on as usual Saturday.
"I do not understand why ...," he told Reuters while awaiting the event in Times Square. "I do not understand why nothing has happened."
An NPR reporter talked to two Camping followers on Sunday. "One man, his voice quavering, said he was still holding out hope that they were one day off. Another believer asserted that their prayers worked: God delayed judgment so that more people could be saved, but the end is 'imminent,'" she reported.
Evans, Camping's PR aide, told NPR he hopes Family Radio will reimburse followers who spent their savings in anticipation of the rapture, but that he can't guarantee it.
Protesters gathered outside Camping's radio headquarters to mock the false prophecy over the weekend. Some of them set aloft a toy cow with balloons to lampoon the idea that a select elite would ascend to heaven. Meanwhile, other religious groups tried to recruit disappointed Camping followers.

Idiots.
It really is their fault. If these people are true Christ followers, then they would have read the book of Revelations, and they would have understood the meaning of a false prophet and they would have trusted in God's word and not another man's. *sigh* I just can't feel sorry for them. Not in the least.

Not very "Christian" of you to call others idiots. Your beliefs are right on par with the "idiots".

Harold Camping finally spoke. Claims the Rapture did happen, that it was a spiritual rapture, that the saved were identified on that date and time by Jesus. He claims that the world will end in October and the the entire world will be destroyed but very quickly. He has a video online going over his timelines and reassuring his followers that the end of days is on the horizon. So it's looks like this isn't done just yet

The worst thing about this is that he's making money out of the foolish and gullible. I guess he'll keep on predicting the end of the world until the cigars and champagne run out. What a crook.

Too bad none of his followers watched Poltergeist II. Then they would've known he was a liar.

Point taken. However, they are pretty close. Both look like the dead, both are dead, have an affinity towards young children, and both talk like women. CREEPY indeed!
