urban legends can get a little tricky.

How could you be mean, the guy got what he wanted. The good thing that happened is he didn't get a chance to take anybody with him, like all the other nuts that came before him and was nothing more than death cults. Like Jim Jones, Heaven's Gate, Solar Temple, Branch Davidians and lets not forget the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God!

obviously he was just a businessman and a conartist. The end of the world would be the last thing he would ever want because his business would be ruined. I just don't like being happy because someone has died, but this guy was just a leech and he probably effectively killed more people than those others did.

Well he may not have killed his followers physically,but I'm sure he did mentally!

I'm sure that right up to the moment he lost consciousness for the last time, he was certain that he was going to heaven.Quote: Soft17According to his religion, do you think he went to hell, or did Jesus just facepalm and shake his head when Harold came walking in through the gate?
