Harold Camping of Family Radio has gathered to himself quite the little cult of followers who believe his ridiculous rants about Judgment Day coming on May 21, 2011, bringing a worldwide earthquake and Rapture of the faithful, and the end of the world on October 21, 2011. 
Some have taken his anti-Christian babbling so seriously that they have joined the radio station's "Project Caravan".
CNN profiled the Caravaners HERE. In part:
None of them -- as in, not one -- has left his or her bank accounts to my congregation. 
Lest you think only adults are joining in this bizarre behavior, check out the psychological abuse inflicted on this poor child:
That's right, Arianna's father has convinced her that she's going to go to Hell. Doubtless, this child is plagued by nightmares of her own eternal torment in God's Lake of Fire.
Now, while I agree with her father that Arianna is going to Hell, I don't agree on the reason. She will go to Hell because she lacks faith and has not repented; this is why she has fear. In fact, her only reason for praying is fear of punishment. She, not a True Christian(tm), doesn't love Jesus enough to realize that every time she sins, it's not a "mark against her record" kept by some cosmic Santa Claus. No, it's an attack on Jesus Himself, it's spitting in the face of His Ultimate Temporary Sacrifice!
Please join me in praying that little Arianna finds her way to the Truth after May 21, 2011 comes and goes without Jesus' return.

CNN profiled the Caravaners HERE. In part:
They walked away from work, families and communities in places as far-flung as California, Kansas, Utah and New Jersey. Among them are an electrician, a TV satellite dish installer, a former chef, an international IT consultant and a man who had worked with the developmentally disabled.
They gave away cars, pets, music collections and more to relatives, friends and neighbors. Some items they kicked to the curb. In homes that weren't emptied, clothes are still hanging in closets, and dishes, books and furniture -- including one man's antique collection -- are gathering dust. Unless, of course, they've been claimed by others. If you believe it's all going to be over soon, why would it matter if you close the front door, much less lock it, when you walk away?

Arianna Ramrajie, of Ocala, Florida, has [a warning] she'd like to share.
On May 21, the sun will "turn red like blood," the Earth will open up, bodies will be strewn about and "some people will die for eternity," she says.
"It scares me a little bit because some people are going to die, and I think I'm one of them," she adds. "I'm trying to do good things, but I'm afraid I'm doing something bad."
Arianna is 7, after all, and being good all the time cannot be easy. Her father stands next to her, nodding his approval.
