Harold Camping says he got it -- slightly -- wrong. In a 90-minute speech broadcast from Oakland, California, on Monday, Camping said May 21 was actually "an invisible judgment day" in which a spiritual judgment took place. The real apocalypse will be five months later, on October 21.Ah. Invisible. Figured it was something like that...
"We've always said May 21 was the day, but we didn't understand altogether the spiritual meaning," he said, according to the Associated Press. "May 21 is the day that Christ came and put the world under judgment."
Kinda like Invisible Apocalyptic Spring Training...
This is the second time Camping has gotten the apocalypse wrong. He initially said the end of the world would come in 1994. When the date came and went, he said he made a mathematical error.
Bet he balances out that bank account just fine though...
Camping's Family Radio network spent millions to promote his prediction of May 21 through billboards and other outreach, the New York Times Report. He said during his speech he would not return the money, mostly donated by followers to spread the message about May 21."We're not at the end," he said. "Why would we return it?"
So let's keep those donations rolling in, rubes. Gotta spread the word ya know...
