Not with a bang

Harold Camping still expects October 21 to be End of the World... probably. But don't worry. 'In the Sunday program, Evans tells those gathered at the Family Radio meeting in Oakland, Calif., that he has been in regular contact with Camping, and emphasizes that the 90-year-old Bible teacher, who has been recovering from a June stroke in his Alameda home, "believes that unbelievers will simply become tired, fall asleep and never awake."'

I have no wish to make fun of Harold Camping or anyone who may still be following his teachings. No, I'm posting this for everyone who wakes up on October 22, just in case you needed some reason to celebrate that day. As for me, I've enjoyed a pleasant evening with friends and drunk a non-alcoholic toast to the end of the world. I'm ready for a good night's sleep now. How about you?

Yeah, Camping (or his spokesman) seems to have been trying to comfort people who believe his teachings by telling them that God was going to be very humane after all. As End of the World stories go, it could have had a messier ending.
