It seems kind of self-evident that Harold Camping is a nut job. For the second time in an otherwise unremarkable career, Camping is currently garnering attention for yet another end-of-days prediction; using a formula of his own design, he claims to have mathematically calculated the date of the apocalypse -- turns out, that date is Saturday.

HAROLD CAMPING IS NOT A CHRISTIAN!

No True Christian would follow this man. He is an arrogant Old fool who believes his own Bible translations.

His followers are the worst, they trust "HAROLD CAMPING INTERPRETATION OF THE BIBLE...NOT THE BIBLE!

Harold Camping is a horrible Bible teacher.
