'Our problems are going to end'

Atheists pity believers awaiting May 21

As followers of lunatic broadcaster Harold Camping await the Rapture he predicts will happen Saturday evening, atheists are holding a 3-day convention in Washington.

American Atheists President David Silverman jokes, "Our problems are going to end because apparently all the christians are going to go away."

On a more serious note, Silverman says he pities believers who have quit their jobs, only to face disappointment and embarrassment when the sun comes up Sunday morning and they're still here.

Hundreds of christians who believe Camping's prediction met recently in Delaware, certain that they'll soon be taken up to be with Jesus.

Camping, who made a similar prediction in 1994, insists he's calculated correctly this time.
