21st‚ the world was supposed to have experienced a grand earthquake thus preceding “The Rapture‚” and it seems as though people around the world spend their “last days on earth” doing many different things. This alone shows what values we respect and how we view them. Harold Camping had concocted some heinous math equation that led him to publicize his fourth prediction.
