The NMAtv folks in Taiwan took a shot at explaining this to us.

Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?
Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?
Young Earth Creationists take offense at the idea that we have a common heritage with other animals. Why is being the descendant of a mud golem any better?

So far this 16% vote option prevails:
I'd love to see Camping sat down in front of one of these interviews where he claims that absolutely the rapture would happen on the 21st. What could he say to that aside from giving no response or admitting that he was absolutely wrong?After May 21st he will keep his mouth shut in embarrassment and give no explanations or excuses.

Re: What will Harold Camping say after May 21, 2011 when the Rapture doesn't occur?
I think it is inevitable that Harold will speak out on this matter. More than likely we'll see a YouTube video within the next week with a lame ass excuse for why the Rapture didn't materialize. Will the excuse be one from our list or something completely out of the blue? Only time will tell.
Another possible response that Harold could give is that God recently spoke to him in a dream and told Harold that he changed his mind. God could have told Harold, the Chosen One (TM), that due to Harold's efforts the Rapture was no longer deemed necessary. Or because of Harold's incredible detective work the Rapture date just HAD to be moved to keep people on their toes.
No matter what Harold says there will be ignorant followers that just follow along like brainless Lemmings. There are books on this subject, but I think it is well accepted that our species is composed of primarily followers and few leaders. It is essential for our survival that we aren't all critical thinkers analyzing every single word or action of our leaders. Nothing would get done, chaos would ensue, and our cultural evolution would be impossible. Harold Camping's minions are the followers of society. Their brains are not all their own. I don't say this with contempt or blame, because these people are only living out the destinies their genes wrote for them.

He's retired. You've seen the investment commercials. He asked his financial adviser at what date he would be rich enough to retire comfortably... to achieve his "number". The date was the one mentioned. That's all. He's done.

Are any of his followers making any comments?
That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Damn, where's a good rapture when you need it? I spent a 1/2 hour standing in a line at the grocery store on Sat. The rapture would have been useful! Maybe the store was so busy because people wanted to get their last supper.

My son and law called my daughter and said he and their son were there and where was she? And then said "oh. . . "
