Harold Camping the Rapture Preacher: "God was talking with his mouth full"
Harold Camping, the Christian radio broadcaster who predicted the world would end on May 21, 2011 admitted sheepishly from his California radio studio that he had been wrong about the date, but insisted it was only because God had been eating a peanut butter sandwich at the time.
“When God spoke to me, I thought he said the rapture would come on May 21, 2011, but only later did I realize he said May 21, 2057. Â The Lord was difficult to understand, and it sounded like he was eating a peanut butter sandwich. Â I wanted to hear him more clearly, but what was I supposed to do? Â Ask the Most High to drink a glass of milk? Â Ask the Creator to spit out the sandwich?”
“That  would have been entirely inappropriate.”
Camping, although embarrassed by his inaccurate prediction, says he is cheered by the additional time his ministry will have to prepare for the real rapture.
“To be honest, I’m a bit embarrassed at how amateurish our website looks. Â I put it together myself, but I’d like to maybe hire a graphic designer to make it look slicker.”
“And I’m re-evaluating some of my views on the bible. Â Take polygamy for one. Â I’m thinking I’m going to need some wives in the coming days. Â And a compound. Â Definitely a compound.”
