I close my eyes, Inis Mona
And reminisce of those palmy days
I moon o'er you, Inis Mona
As long as I breathe
I'll call you my home

Hahahaha
I'm a Christian. I do believe that the rapture is going to happen someday. However, people have been setting concrete dates for the "rapture" or the beginning of the "end times" since the day after Jesus left. One dude even went as far as to write a book entitled "88 Reasons why the Rapture will be in 1988". He later followed it up (Or so I'm told) with "99 Reasons why the Rapture will be in 1999". Need I say more? When the actual apocalypse (Be it Biblical or purely man made) is upon us, I'm sure it'll take everyone by surprise.
There's a permanent tension in music isn't there? On one hand you have three chords, you know, four four and three chords. Then there's the people like me, who say "Well, why don't we add a fourth chord and put it in five four?" - Bill Bruford

Im in california, and was told that at 6pm a huge earthquake would hit. I work night times, so i sleep all day. I woke up about 7pm, still alive and NOT in a pile of rubble. Disappointed, cause now im at work.

It wasn't so much that I survived it, it was more that it was cancelled due to government cut backs.

Maybe... except I didn't see any of them here where *I* live. Sounds like you need to move to some place with saner people.

I should've said "I don't personally know anyone who actually believed it."

That was the meaning I got from you before anyway. I don't think all that many people outside od Camping's radio listeners believed him anyway.
Still, it shows you how gullible people can be sometimes. Take any impluasible scenario and make it sound like it's the truth as convincingly as possible, and people will believe in droves.
Well known example: Just look at Orson Welle's War of the Worlds radio broadcast from 1938. It wasn't even (supposdly at least) deliberately presented as an actual event, and yet many people (though the account of millions is probably an exaggeration) believed a Martian invasion was actually in progress even though the radio broadcast was based on a well-known book, because it was presented as a series of (fictional) news broadcasts (and because of fears of a Nazi or Japanese attack on the US were running high by that time). Imagine the panic if Welles actually WAS trying to pull off a hoax (something which many people accused him of anyway but which he always denied) and asking for donations for a emergency fund of some kind.
