I went over to the WeCanKnow.com site: The countdown to rapture is at “0 months, 0 days.” The Family Radio site is also silent–as is the strangely unpopular Twitter feed, which I just followed.

So now it is time for some answers. Southern Baptist Ed Stetzer has put it well:

“Harold Camping, pls update http://www.family.radio.com w/your repentance statement & instructions to your now-broke followers,” Stetzer tweeted.

Like I said before, I don’t expect any repentance. I expect rationalization. But surely something needs to be said–fast. This false prediction drew massive media attention, and some very unfortunate people changed their lives–gave up their lives, basically–because of it. Prophets bear great responsibility–especially when they’re wrong.

P.S.: Gotta love the New York Times headline: “Despite Careful Calculations, The World Does Not End.”
