See, there is a God...

Josh Voorhees has an article at Slate.com about God's justice:
Family Radio minster and high-profile doomsayer Harold Camping was hospitalized last week after suffering a stroke. The Oakland Tribune reports that the 89-year-old radio host was rushed to the hospital after a broadcast and that, while he survived, is struggling with his speech.
“He had a stroke, it was on his right side,” an unidentified neighbor told the paper. “His speech appears to be a little bit slurred but otherwise he’s okay. His wife said he was doing well, and the only thing that’s affected is his speech.”
Camping was the focus of an intense media blitz last month in the lead up to– and in the wake of– his 21 May prediction that the world was going to end.
Camping, whose Family Radio network reaches more than sixty U.S. stations as well as international affiliates, said he predicted the end of the world with the help of Biblical verse. He claimed believers would be sent up to heaven as various time zones hit 6 p.m. on 21 May, as the planet was engulfed by giant earthquakes and other disasters, until its final destruction on 21 October.
After 21 May came and went without any sign of the Rapture, Camping reworked his biblical math and came to the conclusion that 21 May was only an “invisible judgment day” and that the actual end of the world will occur five months after he had predicted, or October.
Rico says that his being struck dumb is such a perfect act, there must be a God. (And She is pissed...)
