For all those who were disappointed when Judgment Day did not come last Saturday, Harold Camping – the 89-year-old Christian-radio broadcaster who has predicted for years that May 21, 2011, was the exact date that the rapture would occur — has come out of hiding seclusion to let us all know that it was not a literal Judgement Day, just a spiritual one. We are all being judged now, apparently, and God will destroy the world on schedule, on August 21. I’m just grateful we’ll still get to have our beach wienie roasts before the Apocalypse.
I suspect that when August 21 comes and goes without incident, we will be told that it was an invisible apocalypse, that the world no longer exists except in our minds, and we’re all living in Hell. Which, given the television networks’ new fall season, will likely be indistinguishable from the reality we’re accustomed to.

Perhaps it is best to keep in mind what the Bible actually states about the end of everything: “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”(Mt. 24:36)
