Rapture Update, 10/10/11

The people who alerted you to the previous apocalypse, Harold Camping and his FamilyRadio.com empire, are still with us and are as sure as ever that the deal is going down. You may remember them for these billboards back in May:

Unfortunately we were not annihilated on that day nearly five months ago, but merely judged on the spiritual plane by Jesus and God, and our final dispositions determined for eternity. The real date of our final conflagration is October 21, a mere week and a half away as I write this.

The website tells us:

"… we can be sure that the whole world, with the exception of those who are presently saved (the elect), are under the judgment of God, and will be annihilated together with the whole physical world on October 21, 2011, on the last day of the present five months period. On that day the true believers (the elect) will be raptured. We must remember that only God knows who His elect are that He saved prior to May 21."

So we're on again. I have yet to see any new billboards proclaiming this new date, however, and I'm assuming that Camping and his followers simply gave away too much of their money in anticipation of the end to afford a new batch of billboards. I hereby offer my services as graphic artist, free of charge, with a design they can use. Here's how the new billboards would look once in place:

We'll need to hurry to get these up; time runs short. If we don't get these in place soon, there won't be any point in warning people.
