And for anyone who's seen his promotional videos or news coverage, as IF you would advertise judgement day on billboards and the sides of buses! That alone stole any flimsy shred of credibility that this guy had!!!

It's people like this that REALLY annoy me. Do any of you know how much money he has made off this scam? And now we've been "spared hell on earth" for anothe five months and the end is coming on october 21st or something like that. Whoopee.

And how dare he say that things like the gay pride march is a "sign from god that signifies the end is near"!! so much for God made everyone perfect and equal, hey?? He ought to go back and restudy the christian teachings regarding that.

I am a christian, and I love some of the values and achievements of christianity, but I am seriously considering buddhism because of extremists like this, and all the inconsistancies within christianiy that firstly ought not to be there, and secondly ought not to be abused in such a way as Camping has done.

Sorry if I offend anyone, but this is a topic I am very passionate about.

Firstly I never I affirmed the that the end of the world is near or it's side of the block never I said that, I said that a new that I got literally from internet where it said that the world will fall out the last May 21 th.

Never I assured thus fact in our life, then I don't believe your commentary being necessary or it being so drastic for anyone, inclusive I know that the commentary can annoying you for the motive you are religious person and the catholic world.

I think that the people only speaks for speaks without think them the consequence that it can produce, the people who speaks about that without a hard argument is mind, they aren't god for prognosticate the end of the world.

I've read during a lot time the bible and there comes as the human is ending our planet, I can assure you that the world has start to destroy itself since more 50 years ago when the man invent the cars the airplanes the trains when the human start to life the style life that currently we have.

Such after the person the world would end in a next date very near to October sincerely I don't believe again nothing the world will continue like to we meet the planet ending a few a few and no ones make something for calm down us and they make us think that we are doing bad for themselves.

I agree with your commentary in some parts solely, but I don't agree when you affirm something that in this moment it can lack arguments for the said before.

Regards.

Nobody has yet pointed out that although we all know what the thread is about, the title is meaningless. Seems appropriate somehow.

No, he's not. He's a lunatic.

So, religions which don't announces the end of the world, raptures and all of that high-ceiling-al-frescoed-comic-book stuff are more likely to be consider truer than those ones which deities miss their appointments. It sounds ... logic.

No sir. I never said that. Actually, I'm not a religious person. All religions have problems.. some more than others. Sarcasm doesn't work with me.

Yes, agreed, he is completely insane, but he is still serious. At least, he takes himself seriously, as do some other seriously misguided followers.

You know, dear Perikles, I always avoid talking about religion. It's a thorny subject and it wasn't really my purpose to talk about it. I couldn't care less what religion people profess. But this, in my opinion, has nothing to do with religion. It's about a mentally ill guy saying stupidities.

It's actually not his fault, he's sick. But his followers are absolutely blockheaded. How stupid can a person be?

His profession is a bona-fide tax dodge. The U.S government has holymen tax-esempt. If they had to pay taxes like the rest of us, I am sure most would seek a lucrative tax-free occupation like pimping, burglery or drug dealing.

True...

[CrOtALiTo]

I have one question.

You are speaking about me or about the person announced in the post?

Because you have used the word lunatic, stupid, crazy what more?

The thread is merely informative is this thread result somehow interested

Sorry.

I haven't understood clarify the post.

The world will continue like than now hahaha.

[Johndiv23]

No one will ever know when the world will end. And why are they so eager to end the world? Instead of hoping it would never happening here they are trying to promote it.

Hello George,
I will make a few corrections on your English and then I will try to reply in Spanish

Bien, hoy es el 14 de Julio y nosotros estamos todavia qui!! Esto mundo existe desde cuatro millones y medio de años y es muy enprobable que desaparece ahora mismo, todas las annunciaciones de la fin del mundo son más bien ridiculas. Yo pienso que es más muy fácil que el mundo será destruido por la humanidad misma.

[poli]

Si de verdad, pero ahora el pastor (no recuerdo su nombre) dice que miscaluló. Aunque está en contacto constante con el divino, es humano y los humanos son capaces de equivocar. Ahora dice que todo terminará en algun día en octubre, y pienso contribuir todos mis ahorros al aquel pastor con la idea que esa acción me asegura un buen puesto en el cielo.

Nice job! Corrections above

1) This "well" to introduce an opinion sounds better like "pues", at least in Mexican Spanish, I'm not sure about how "bien" sounds in other regions.
2) Never "más muy"... "mucho más fácil" ("much easier") in any case.
Be careful with invented words and with gender,

1) I don't know what others will think, but to me "de verdad" is more when you're emphasizing you're telling the truth. If you want to agree about what someone else has said as being true, I'd prefer "es cierto".
2) "Aquel" sounds impersonal, as this formula is rather used for someone you don't know who it is. In this case, "ese pastor" sounds much better and specific.

Hope you don't mind the corrections. Here are some others:

... American church ...
... that the world will end ... ('fall out' makes no sense here - 'fall apart' may be used, but 'end' is what Crotalito was looking for)
... I haven't really read the Bible, but there are ...
... afraid because of that news.

Thank you Rusty and Angelica,
obviously your corrections are very welcome, I'm here for learning and improving. I have still something to learn also about English, and probably also about my own language!!

I thought that "mundo" was a neuter noun, evidently it is masculine. You are right, "desde" refers to a specific beginning time (ex. "desde 2001"), "desde hace" refers to a time interval (ex. "desde hace tres semañas"). Once more I was mislead by Italian, where "fine" is a feminine noun. Clearly, in the last sentence subjunctive ("probable que sea") is more appropriate than future ("probable que será"). Same thing for "que desaparezca" instead of "que desaparece".

As a general rule, Spanish words that are listed as nouns in a dictionary are masculine or feminine. The neuter gender exists, but it is restricted to specific uses, such as creating an abstract noun out of an adjective. For example:

1. "lo de ayer" = "the business/matter/issue from yesterday" while "el de ayer" = "the one (thing/item/person) from yesterday".
2. "Lo bueno es que pude comprarlo" = "The good thing/part of the situation was that I was able to buy it.", where "lo bueno" = "(que) pude comprarlo".

Neuter pronouns such as "esto", "eso", "aquello", and "ello", and the neuter definite article/enclitic pronoun "lo" generally are used only to refer to such abstract concepts or ideas. (Note that "lo" is also one of the masculine clitic pronouns alongside "le".)
