Harold Camping and the May 21st Rapture

May 21, 2011 By Cara Harrington 19 Comments

Obviously we aren’t all catching up on the news thanks to the awesome wifi in the heavens. Harold Camping predicted the end of the world using numbers he “calculated” from the Bible. He managed to convince a following that on May 21st, 2011 that the end of the world would take place. People reportedly quit their jobs and lived it up the past week and waved good-bye to their life savings to live up their remaining time pre-rapture by watching a Frasier marathon and attending box socials or whatever the faithful do these days.

Alas, the end of the world starting with a “big earthquake that will make the one in Japan seem like a Sunday school picnic” failed to get the memo and the most action we have seen is a volcano erupting in Iceland. The Grimsvotn volcano, which is Iceland’s most active volcano, erupted and didn’t even interrupt air traffic.

Camping previously claimed the world would end in September of *1994. After that prediction proved BS he claimed he simply miscalculated. May 21, 2011 was supposed to be the correct calculated rapture date. Most Bible wielding religious folk gave him a Christianly gurl please and pointed to Matthew 24:36 which states that, “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”

Twilight Takes Over Religion – Edward is the New Xenu

Attention Twi-Hards: there is a fine line between cute obsession and complete and total lunacy, and some of us have crossed that line.

According to sources, a group of “Twilight” fans have started their own religion based on Stephenie Meyer’s vampire-love book series. Xenu beware!

The followers of this ‘religion’ refer to themselves as “Cullenists” and, like any religion, they have their own set of beliefs and rules that should be followed. These rules are based on the belief that the Cullens (the surname of the vampire family in the books) are in fact, real.

Via Examiner.com:

“Their creed includes a base set of beliefs that Edward and the rest of the ‘Twilight’ characters are real; that the ‘Twilight’ series should be worshipped and that if you are good in life, you will be bless[ed] with eternity with the Cullens.”

Question: are we really interested in eternity with the Cullens or with Robert Pattinson? Spending eternity with Edward Cullen sounds nice, but if we have to throw in Rosalie, I am out.

Cullenists also believe that the “Twilight” series should be read daily like a Bible and followers should make a pilgrimage to the small town of Forks, Washington during their lifetime. I am sure the good people of Forks are rejoicing.

All of us here at Hollywood Dame love “Twilight.” Not to mention, we would all like to go a few rounds with Robert Pattinson and the rest of the male cast members of the movie for that matter. However, this is too much. People are crossing the line here. Enjoy the books and the movie; spin your own fantasies involving Sparklepants and Peter Facinelli. Mine involves a lot of wine and a large bathtub. But leave it at that.

Now, if you’ll excuse me I have a plane to catch. I am spending spring break in Washington and Vancouver to, um, see the sights. Yes! That’s it, sight-seeing.

Britney Spears Daily Bible Reading

March 16, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Madonna is the only one getting her Jesus love on. Britney Spears reads the Bible daily.

This under order of Papa Spears according to rumor. The Daily Mirror reports that Brit is required to read the Bible for hour every day. Her dad is keeping an ever watchful eye on the re-rising pop starlet.

“Brit is also banned from tucking into junk food (not sure she is keeping to that one), leaving the hotel unless accompanied by security, or meeting K Fed without her dad or manager.”

Egads. He even manages her time spent online says the source; she feels like a prisoner. I don’t know how much I buy this story. The girl wears boobie tassels on a nightly basis. Of course, whatever laws he is enforcing seem to be working as she is slowly rising from the broken pieces of her past. It’s probably best that she steers clear of K-Fed and the rest of the crew that helped her fall into crazy.

Who am I to judge? The closest form of Sunday worship I participate in is Never-Ending-Pancakes at IHOP.
