: Boredmageddon?

Ten days left until armageddon, apparently, according to Harold Camping. Or rather, it's been going on for about 5 months. It started May 21st, the day he said would be judgement day earlier this year, when absolutely nothing happened, and will end in ten days, on October 21. I never imagined armageddon would be this... Boring? I mean, sure, bad stuff have happened around the world. But other than a slightly rainier summer than usual, none of which consisted of fire or brimstone, I can't say I've noticed much.

It's amazing to me that this Harold Camping guy keeps coming out with these stories. I didn't know this until I read the Wikipedia-page about him, I only knew him from his doomsday-predictions earlier this year, but it seems he has predicted the end of the world two times before, once in 1988 and once in 1994. One would think that after two failed attempts at predicting the end of the world, he would take a good look at himself and shut the fuck up, but no. He's too addicted to the attention he gets to do that.

It's also amazing to me that people keeps listening to these kinds of claims. The end of the world have been predicted lots of times, and we're still here. And even if one of them were right, what does it matter? If the world ends, there's nothing we can do about it. At least not about the kind of end of the world scenarios that these people tell us about, anyway. So I say we just go about our lives as if there wont be an end of the world. 'Cause there most likely wont be.
