End of the world is on schedule
One of the more vocal doomsday salesmen of late, minister Harold Camping, has proclaimed that May 21, 2011 is the end of days – he travels around in his armada of RVs dispatched to spread the news:
“proclamation, “May 21, 2011: Judgment is Coming!”
According to Camping’s reading of the Bible, only those who are saved will enter the shiny gates of heaven on May 21…
Doomsday prophet: End of the world is on schedule (SFGate.com)
It had been a few months since I dropped in on Harold Camping, the Oakland minister who believes the world will end May 21.
I was happy to see that Camping, a more frail 89 years than I had remembered, had at least maintained his apocalyptic sense of humor.

Religion Is Dead (Or Is It Just Getting Started?)

Controlling the Means of Reincarnation
From Eavesdropping on The Times Magazine (The New York Times)
By SCOTT MALCOMSON
I’m trying once again to wrap my mind around the idea that an avowedly atheist group (the Chinese Communist Party government) insists on its power to certify reincarnations.
The Dalai Lama yesterday renounced his political power to represent Tibetans from his exile in India. (If he were Bob Dole he could have said, “I come before you not as a king, but just a god.”) He has been making this point for a while – the Tibetan government in exile has had an elected prime minister since 2001; the next election is on March 20. But the Dalai Lama seems more serious this time, and the three leading candidates are not monks. The holy man, in short, is trying to take religion out of politics.
