Harold Camping Speaks About Rapture Fail; Righteous Naysayers Rejoice

       

Outside Harold Camping's Alameda house at 6:01 p.m. on Sunday, very little (save a cloud of shame and regret) hung over the false prophet's abode where he and his family waited for the rapture. Camping had used numerology and The Bible to make a proclamation that he and his Family Radio followers would be beamed to heaven at 6:00 p.m. on May 21. Alas, his forecast never came true. And ever since his prediction turned sour, he's said very little publicly about what happened. more ›

5/21: How Are You Celebrating/Preparing for the Rapture?

5/21: How Are You Celebrating/Preparing for the Rapture?

The world might end on Saturday, May 21. Yep. Harold Camping, host of a local radio call-in show and Oakland false prophet, has made a prediction on the day of rapture. CBS reports: "The founder of Family Radio in Oakland - heard in 48 different languages around the globe - is behind the worldwide, multimillion dollar campaign letting people know that judgment day is coming on May 21, 2011." He anticipates an earthquake larger than the Japan quake - as well as all other sorts of doom/gloom. On Saturday, it is believed to be the day in which God beams his flock into heaven, leaving those of us (we're looking at you) to writhe in agony at the Devil's hands. more ›

Church Bell Swiped from S.F. Catholic Church

The God-fearing folks at San Francisco's St. Michael's Korean Catholic Church have more to fear this week: bell thievery. Over the weekend, it seems, someone stole their massive, church bell that weighs between 400 to 600 pounds. How rude. more ›

Has God Forsaken Treasure Island?

Has God Forsaken Treasure Island?

Treasure Island is in need of a drastic makeover. The little swatch of land between SF and the East Bay is, for lack of a better work, harrowing. Which is why a "master plan for a showplace 21st century neighborhood on Treasure Island" is in the works. But, as with any city saddled with a population that fears getting older and thus loathes growth, not everyone is happy about the plan. It turns out that, according to SFGate, Treasure Island 2.0 won't "include room for a single church, synagogue or place of worship," which has John Elberling, director of the Treasure Island Development Authority, sad. "I don't think it's right," he explained. Read all about it. more ›

Well, it was quite a weekend for abortion, wasn't it? The anniversary of Roe v. Wade brought out all kinds of fruits and nuts to show their support for either side of the abortion argument. One side being that a magical creature in the sky will send you to the big pot-au-feu below the Earth's crust if you terminate your pregnancy; the other being that there are too many people on the planet thus we need to find a way to get rid of a few. Or something like that. more ›

Prince Doesn't Hate the Gays?

Prince Doesn't Hate the Gays?

We received an angry letter from an even angrier Prince fan today. (Yes, they still exist.) He or she says to SFist, "I think you're a real creep to print something like that. How would you like it if someone did that to you?" (To answer that question: we probably have it coming.) So,we went back and looked over our "Price Hates Gays" post, and now feel compelled to tell your the truthiness. Prince, it seems, was misquoted regarding his homophobic statements. Allegedly. "We're very angry he was misquoted," says our Prince insider. SFist regret the error. Because a celebrity's PR team holds more truth than a New Yorker journalist. more ›

Holy Crap!!! Bernie Ward Busted On Child Porn Charges

Holy Crap!!! Bernie Ward Busted On Child Porn Charges

Say it ain't so, Bernie! Wow. Former Catholic priest and SF radio talk show host has been "indicted on federal child pornography charges," according to the Chronicle. It seems that the popular KGO 810 AM host turned himself in to authorities earlier today. Although the "specifics of the allegations against him are under seal," said the authorities, we're dying to know exactly what happened. Because: whoa. Like, really. In addition to being a reporter... more ›
