I'm disapointed in us.

This sort of crap needs all the derision we can muster. If a set of parents give away their children's college money, their life's savings, or anything else; then they need to know that it will be a very very very long time before they live that down. If we're still talking about this in 2012, and still talking about the failed 2012 prophesy whenever the next end of the world happens, then maybe some people will start activating their skepticism glands the next time they find themselves starting to believe some stupid bullshit.

It's not that funny either...and the same funny over and over gets old.

Totally disagree. The more mocking you do beforehand, and the attention you get about the mocking the better. It is a good way to condition people that religion leads to extreme cases of stupidity, and I think and hope it is a great way to devalue religion.

Except of course one outcome is that 'moderate' Christians who mix a little common sense with what one might call their 'core beliefs' did not generally agree with the apocolytics and they could well see the atheist tendency over this to gloat as simply a cheap shot at an easy target.

It's not really "gloating" though, is it? It's more pointing and laughing. And (as someone has in their sig somewhere) if they don't want us to laugh, don't have such silly beliefs.

Stuff the moderates, cock sucking enablers, they have nothing to be proud about...don't see these moderates trying to put Blair/Bush in the Hague...their turn will come.

Even those 'moderates' tend to believe in the rapture and the second coming. It is a central tenet of their faith and something which 'moderates' the world over repeat the apostle's creed every single Sunday, including this little line - "He will come again to judge the living and the dead." Having a couple of them as parents, I can assure you that they found Camping's pronounced date to be as ludicrous and silly as I did! Funny thing is though, they did so from a totally different perspective - you see, the babble clearly states that no man shall know the day nor the hour of the second coming, so, if he claims to know, he must be wrong - babble says so!

Yes - says to in Matthew somewhere I remember reading when I was 'one of them'. I wonder why the Rapturists didn't read that bit.
