I would just call it a CArT for short.
There is too little time left for copying and pasting the whole thing.
I am trying to think of things left undone in case it really does kick off, but all I can think of is, "Have I turned all the lights off?"

Wait, so he's predicting something that's only a very recent addition to the Christian mythos, by taking the alleged date of the prediction of an event that's then stated to happen, and which ends with "and I'll totally never do this again, that was terrible, what was I thinking", and adding a few arbitrary numbers to it? That's such gibbering lunacy that even mockery is too much validation...

Behold! Relevant image macro!
Now with the crap quality macro aside; I remember first hearing of this last month when I returned to school from spring break. My Drawing&Composition teacher was telling everyone the story of being handed a pamphlet from that rapture cult on a cruise she was on and was told by their leader had problems with his math for his first predictions. Nevertheless this "math" he did will all turn to wasted effort.
If not, I have all my CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS ready.

Look, the "End of the world" that Christians are so afraid of is the end of the christian world. The only thing that would happen is an... event... that would effectively shed light on the truth of many matters and bring the end of many religions.

Many, if not a majority of Christians, don't believe in the idea of The Rapture, which is a very specific and recent idea (compared to the age of the religion) of how the second coming of Jesus would be.

If it happens tomorrow it happens, ill be going up. (inc bashes on my beliefs!).
I personally dont think it will happen. Here is my 3 strike rule with Mr. Camping:
Strike 1 - Bible verse above. How can Camping know when it states "no man will know"
Strike 2 - Camping has predicted this like 2 times before. Both wrong. What makes this one the magically correct answer?
Strike 3 - I heard that he said those "predetermined few" will ascend to the heavens. Kinda makes me feel that salvation is not a choice and that contradicts the Bible.
