Mormons Don't Play the Judgement Day Game...Anymore
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
By Kevin Barney
ILLINOIS - As reported in today's Chicago Tribune, Harold Camping, an 89-year old Christian radio host in California, has popularized the idea that the Rapture will occur on May 21, 2011. Camping's idea has gone viral; a Google search of the date turns up page after page of websites dedicated to this notion. My impression is that previous failures have pretty much cured Mormons from wanting to play this game. Mormons believe in the second coming, but not in the Rapture as such. My impression is that the failures of either 1890 or 2000 to materialize have made Mormons quite happy to retun to the scriptural standard that "of that day and hour knoweth no man." [link]
