Yes, Harold Camping Is Cashing in on The Rapture, Folks
Religion Rachel Swan — Thu, May 19, 2011 at 11:57 AM
So, all of you who expressed consternation about the forthcoming *Rapture* and various iterations thereof, consider yourselves validated. Yes, it turns out Family Radio host and self-stylized Rapture prophesizer Harold Camping isn't just a local Cassandra, he's also profiting immensely from this whole imbroglio. As Matthias Gafni reported today in the Contra Costa Times, Family Radio has seen a huge increase in $cash money$ as the day of Judgment approaches. According to tax returns, the non-profit Christian broadcast station raised more than $7 million over the past 7 years, and was worth more than $72 million in 2009, the Coco Times reports. That's not to mention the fact that its ever-expanding empire includes 66 radio stations internationally. Those 5,000 Judgment Day Billboards may have cost millions of dollars to produce, but they appear to be generating new revenue streams for the company.
So of course, everyone wants to know where all that money is going, when the day arrives and Camping ascends into heaven. He told the Times it's all gonna vaporize.
The rest of you, go forth and loot.

There's going to be a lot of fun things to do when the rapture happens and we're all left behind for loving sex and being atheists and such.
Poll: What will you be doing when the rapture happens?

I voted all of the above, except for the going to heaven thing. That's for losers.
That's cool. I just wonder what there will be to do post-Rapture. Guess I better bring a cooler, croquet set and some magazines to read, huh?
Dear Lawngun,
I would imagine there's a no-host bar at the Rapture, and that you can definitely bring a date. And I highly doubt your invitation was rescinded. After all, you're doing the lord's work just by commenting on this blog post.
Kindest Regards,

Rachel, I'm afraid this article leaves many unanswered questions. Just when I was finally coming to terms with the very low likelihood that, due to ...er...personal issues, I would be invited to the Rapture, now you bring up this "whole imbroglio". Let's just say that I could get an invite to this "whole imbroglio". What should I wear? Will there be a hosted bar? Is it OK to bring a date? Should I bring a gift?
Time is running out. I look forward to your helpful and timely advice.
He should have to give it all back with interest on Sunday. I knew there
was something to this to make money for a TAX FREE religious group.
The only difference between a Muslim and a christian is the Muslim's force their religion on everyone with guns and bombs where the Christian's do it with laws. Lets do away with all religion. The world would be a better place. Thing about how many wars are over religion.
