1. He needs to be investigated
and prosecuted for fraud. There's no difference between him and Bernie Madoff except that Madoff is in prison.

6. There is a HUGE difference.
Madoff asked for money to be provided for an investment. He implied that there would be a return on that investment and he never had any intent to ever provide that return.

Camping offered a FREE prophecy. Free, as in he said this and demanded nothing in return. If you would LIKE to give to his cause of spreading the word he would gladly accept. Ones position in his FREE prophecy was not altered in any way by how much you gave, even if it was nothing at all.

8. Totally agree with you. Huge difference.
If you pay a Tarot card reader and his/her predictions don't materialize can you sue the reader? Of course not. Same thing.

12. I suppose you're right
but it just annoys me that people gave this clown huge chuncks of money. If Camping were an honorable man perhaps he would consider returning most of it.

13. No difference in your mind, you mean.
You left that part out, where your opinion should mean more than the law.

5. How could this happen again?
And now he'll return all the money he made from the weak-minded, right?

7. Maybe God decided to forego the rapturing when he saw the people who want it.
I mean, who'd want people infesting heaven who go around begging for money and putting up billboards in the neighborhood?

9. Many followers said the delay was a further test from God to persevere in their faith.

It's never the charlatan.

10. Camping came to a realization: "You know, actually, this Bible is just a silly book of mythology."
Okay, that happened only in my fantasy.
