I believe Harold Camping and his followers prevented the end of the world.
My reasoning is because (according to my Christian belief)
- no man would know the hour of the Lord’s return to the earth,
- since every fellow Christian believer has been taught this in sunday school, no Christian would have believed the billboards (since no man would know the return time)
- those who aren’t Christians wouldn’t believe the billboards either (since by default they aren’t believers)
Therefore, since no one should have believed that was the date and time of God’s return, that’s the exact time to have returned, then.
Now, since Harold Camping’s followers did believe, and knew the date and time, that threw off this perfect logic, meaning that’s why the Rapture didn’t happen.
So there you have it. It’s not every day one gets to save the world as we know it. This guy should get a medal.
