Going Camping At The End Of The World By Internet Historian | Chicago Actors React

[@thaddeusthemaddiest]

How I see it, Harold Camping kept hoping he would be raptured because he feared the act of dying. He was elderly, he could feel his body failing piece by piece, and would much rather be magically teleported to Heaven. A painless, sudden transition that was guaranteed to end in Heaven or to die in a cataclysm with the knowledge that many, many others were dying with him as well was preferable to dying slow and alone in a hospital bed. Death is scary, and western culture tends to alienate it further than other cultures do. For all that he preached, he was afraid, plain and simple.

[@sterlingmuse5808]

To explain why those words were connected to numbers (you specifically asked why Heaven = 17), you just need to understand numerology. This is the practice of turning words into numbers and adding them up to mean different things, and has roots in alphabets like Greek and Hebrew where each letter is directly connected to a number and this connection is more obvious. I don't remember exactly how to calculate it anymore, but it's one of those little "huh?" things I've never forgotten about. I remember when this happened, but it didn't catch me very much and it all kinda got mixed up with the Mayan calendar stuff and all that as a bunch of silly apocalypse predictions.

[@CheshireGhost]

[@RS-fy9hb]

@@mckenzie.latham91 Yeah, what he did is absolutely inexcusable, and those who followed him really shouldn't be regarded as "following the bible" as they clearly did not. Btw, I consider myself christian but I'm still grappling with several theories and such, come from a protestant background, but not like the nutjobs of America. Although imo, the people who I learned it from also mostly used it as tradition, and as reasons to reprimand or to criticise others. It's weird. On a seperate note, I don't know avout the legitimacy of the articles, haven't read them, but don't trust the dailymail or christianpost. I just don't know, but I do know that there are several people are genuinely crazy enough to do shit like that. We've already had SEVERAL death and doomsday cults. Heaven's gate is just one example.

And the fact that Camping used numerology to get his “numbers”, a completely bs thing that most Christians also don’t believe in and is the religious equivalent of astrology. Like it just assigns random numbers to concepts/words and claims that means something significant, ex- consciousness = “X” = something meaningful just because 🤷‍♀️ It’s a weird “science” thing from the past that doesn’t actually make sense. So the fact that he used it, especially when he viewed the big churches who invented it as corrupt, was always weird to me.

[@warbacca1017]

Quite a few of those "sciences" like numerology and astrology can actually be pretty interesting and have potentially surprising coincidences. Of course, this is speaking as someone who occasionally dabbles in them for little more than just having fun

[@RS-fy9hb]

@@warbacca1017 yeah, but they're coincidences, and that's also why it isn't very sciency. Science is used to set some conditions and restrictions we can use to predict outcomes, and that's how we verify hypothesis and how we make them actual theories. (Scientific theories are widely accepted, and is what the public considers facts). Not that I don't think there are some coincidences, but astrology specifically is just bs. They use terms everyone would associate with themselves, or find somewhere in their minds, to associate with themselves and that way they "know" your personality.

I have no memory of this event at all, but I do remember seeing the rapture memes online, I just didn't understand what was going on because I was 11 at the time. However, the next year, the 2012 end of the world event, I remember so clearly because I personally was scared by it so much so that I counted the days off every morning I woke up ready to go to school. I remember going to school on December 21, 2012 telling myself that this was it. Today will be the last day. My relief when nothing ever happened, ever since I never fell for any bullshit said online or spoken on the news. But to be fair, I was a kid back then, I had no idea wtf anything was.

People laugh at the ones who truly believed and made fun of them. But the reality is - those people spent their money NOT to have fun or for personal gain. They spent it to spread a message they TRULY believed, to save as many people as possible. I can't bring myself to find it funny, cause those people however misguided they were - they exhibited the best humanity have to offer as well. Care for others at your own expense. Harold Camping also wasn't doing it for money - he TRULY believed. He spent his fortune warning people as well. It was not malicious, it was not predatory. Simply unstable person with true conviction, doing his best to warn people and try and save them.

[@kyoai]

We don't laugh at their misfortune and mistakes, we laugh at them for being so gullible to believe that religious nonsense so much that they are willing to spend their entire wealth on it. I truly wonder how many people actually stopped and thought for at least a minute, perhaps even critically questioned it, before acting on Mr. Camping's predictions. To me it shows that a great portion of people do not think for themselves before spending thousands of dollars on wild ideas or promises and instead are just native, gullible idiots, which is not something that should be encouraged or excused.

@@cl1cka Why do you believe the prosecution calls the shots? First of all, a law has to be broken, then there is the lawyer, then there is a the judge, and there is even a jury.

Yes, a prosecutor will try to get a conviction at any costs, and the lawyer could be an idiot, but that doesn't mean the judge and jury are mindcontrolled by the prosecution. There is always ALWAYS something more behind the story you read in a tabloid about people going to jail for jaywalking. You need to check other outlets to find out the jaywalker attacked the cops trying to give him a fine, or had an arrest warrant from another state, or hell, was just on probation after being released from jail, etc etc etc, but the tabloid story got the clicks.

White and short..... You are VERY privileged and you are living outside of reality if you think the justice system gives a fuck about who it punishes. There was prosecutor with 26 cases, where he invented or hid evidence to secure convictions. All those cases were for serious crimes - 20+ years. 10 were overturned after DNA evidence. Do you know how the guy was punished? 9000$ fine and 3 months on the bench.... The two judges I talked about were convicted btw, after ruining more than 50 lives..... And you are sitting here talking about "tabloids". These are ALL COURT DOCUMENTS. You know what is tabloid though? Crime rising. It's actually at it's lowest EVER. So ask yourself - if crime is at it's lowest EVER, why do we have more prisoners than 20 years ago? Simple - FOR PROFIT prisons. Most of them even have contracts with states to never be under 80% occupancy or the state pays penalties. Do you honestly believe with a set up like that - people in jail are there for the right reasons? Grow up.

It is stupid to feel sorry for people who took up debts for life or otherwise hurt themselves because they were expecting the end of the world. If you take a loan and the bank deceives you with an agreement that is difficult to understand, that bank is to blame. If you fall into a financial pyramid, the person who created it is to blame. If you buy a stolen item and you are responsible for it, the person who sold it to you is to blame. But if someone tells you that you need to send all your money to a specific account because in a week the fairies will come and they will punish all the rich. And you do it ... it's you to blame.
