An Open Letter To Harold Camping

Dear Harold,

Now that it is has become obvious - presumably, even to you - that your calculations and predictions were groundless, perhaps you'd like to enter into a discussion of why you were so off-base.

I just happen to be bold enough to believe that I know the reason, and it has nothing to do with the New Testament pronouncement of ...no one knowing that day and time.

No. It is far worse than that.

I have to shake the very foundations of your faith. Sorry, but it needs to be done. You were wrong for reasons that you can barely imagine, let alone accept. But maybe - just maybe - you are now ready to face the truth of the fundamental flaw in your understanding.

The fundamental flaw in the understanding of all so-called Christians around the world today. You, and all of the so-called Christians, have been duped and deceived by a master deceiver. This is going to shake your world, Harold - even more than it has been shaken by your massive failure of May 21st 2011.

If you are ready to have this conversation - contact me.

If not, I will understand. Often it is easier to cling to our delusions than it is to face the truth. But you, and all of the so-called Christians around the world, have declared Jesus a liar and a fool. Maybe it's time to talk about it.

Bill Clarke.
