The only reason I am responding to this is because I just now noticed that we both live in Greenville.
Then you might just understand why this quote is funny.
Not really.
Engineers are usually "weird" Christians. What are your thoughts on Preterism?

Revelation is a weird book, but it certainly is in the Bible, and doesn't allow for a few thousand years of 'normal' life on earth afterwards, so nope, not for me.

In reply to tuna55:

If you could reason with sinners, I guess there wouldnt be any sinners?! And I have driven on River Styx Rd. Kinda boring.

I hope to be having a nice dinner at that time. The flames of hell might keep everything nice and warm for me.

(seriously--I want to hear what these berkeleywits are going to say for themselves when their "faith" is completely rendered moot by midnight tomorrow. It's so reprehensible)

Isn't that a bit presumptuous? Who made you the judge?

Umm.. Tuna is referencing the words of Jesus. Last time I checked, he would, in fact be the Judge (or at least the Son of the Judge).

So, no not the slightest bit presumptuous. Not even a teeny tiny bit.

That's completely untrue. Harold Camping used what information he chose to, how he chose to. Camping uses an allegorical method of interpreting Scripture which leaves the meaning of any Scripture passage purely subjective.

I don't believe the Bible should be interpreted to fit personal beliefs, nor that it is contradictory. When I find something I believe to be contradictory I dig a little deeper. After careful study, I generally find either inconclusive (not contradictory) data, or discover that it was MY understanding that was faulty, not Scripture's.

Have you followed Camping's numbers through? Did you consider the Gregorian calender, or the Hebrew calender? His logic fits what he wanted it to.

The rapture could be tomorrow. The stage is set that it could literally be any day. But no one knows the day or the hour.
