If the Bible tell you how to spot a false Prophet
They are always wrong.
And some of our most noted and notorious god bothering skypilots have habitually been wrong in their prophesies, why does any one still listen to their hogwash? With the population increases over the last 150 years, perhaps there is more than one sucker born every minute now. Whatever, here is a compilation of false prophets for you to mock and avoid starting with one of the most recently notorious.
The world-renowned Harold Camping was just the latest in a long line of Christian preachers who've made a profitable career out of erroneously predicting the apocalypse. If anything, Camping was only unusual in that he admitted his blunder after falling flat on his face (although he didn't offer to refund any of his followers who spent their life savings on spreading his message).And there are more.
Other prominent Christian sects that have gotten it wrong are still around, in some cases recycling decades-old predictions as if they were brand-new. The Jehovah's Witnesses made a habit of erroneously predicting the apocalypse throughout the 20th century. One of their founders, J.F. Rutherford, wrote a book in 1920 called Millions Now Living Will Never Die, in which he claimed among other things that the patriarchs of Israel would be resurrected from the dead by the year 1925.
