Shelter and food would not help where she is. Pretty much everyone within a wide radius would die quickly from hot gas (LOL) and air clogging ash, etc. Then, the ash would black out the sun and prevent life (plants growing, etc) from being viable over much of the northern hemisphere. People would survive around the world, mostly in the southern hemisphere but it would create mass migration and ecological disaster everywhere. It would have an effect like multiple nuclear bombs. Sounds fun, right!
I don't worry about it. I'd rather die at the beginning than live in bunkers or in a horribly altered world. My life ain't that precious to me. In fact, I don't understand why people freak about the possibility of the world ending by natural means. I would feel sad at the thought of wildlife and the wilderness being permanently destroyed, or the art and music of the ages disappearing with no one left to ever witness it. But if we're dead, we're dead. I'm more worried about things that are likely to occur like natural disasters, ecological disasters, war, etc. Guess I can't join the tin foil hat club after all. Darn it!
This is very mean and one of the funniest things I have read in awhile! Hilarious!
This is why I searched out this thread. My brother is obsessed with Camping and the whole May 21, 2011 thing. Now he's getting me obsessed. We plan to be on the phone together to await the worldwide earthquake that will rip open the whole earth, beginning in NZ, at around 11:00 p.m. pacific standard time on 5-20-11, and which will unearth every corpse that has ever been buried in the last 13,000 years, which is how old the earth is :crazy:, and the corpses who are elect will rise up to heaven with the rapture and the rest will rot on the earth. I think only four million souls total are elect. Then starts the period of tribulation for those of us not ascending, which will last until the end of the UNIVERSE, in October. Should be good times.
Camping believes in a Calvinistic form of predestination. You can't ask God to save you. Either he has elected you or you are out of luck. So, I'm not sure what the period of tribulation is for.
The sad thing is, this nut has followers. Tons. Many who are giving him his their last savings in the hope that God will have pity on them and chose to save them or in the hopes that their piousness will prove they are really among the elect. I can't decide if he's laughing all the way to the bank and will run off with his millions to Tahiti or if he really believes this codswallop. All I know is that my brother and I can't wait to see what he and his followers do on May 22, 2011. Although I hope no one kills themselves. And we hope Harold Camping, who is 89, lives to see the failure of his prediction. One month away!!!
The rapture occurred the day Mother Theresa died. She's the only one who made it.
