Rapturists, spiritually speaking, are you happy you got five more months of life on Earth?

You must have conflicting feelings. Surely you have someone you love that wasn't getting raptured? Are you glad to have time with them? Is the 5/21/11 failure influencing your feelings towards 10/21/11?

I'm not being sarcastic, I'd like your input. Thank you in advance.

Update:

I'm not grouping anyone, it's obvious who I'm asking this to. Just in case, though, it's Campings followers. None of them have answered so far.

Thank you all for answering, though. :)

Update 2:

Evelyn, Great, good for you. Can you actually answer the question?

Where did all the Camping followers go? Are they too ashamed to admit they bought into his lies?

    Well, looking at it from the opposite

    angle, I'm certainly glad.

    I have family members who are

    Christian and I'd miss them...

    I am not a "Camping Clapper" and resent the attempts at predicting rapture dates. No one, not even the Son of God knows the hour or the day. To try and spread "Rapture Updates" to the world, to me, is sickening and it only fuels the doubt and adds snickers against true Christians when non-Christians lump Mr. Camping's "ministry" into a bigger reason for mocking. It does nothing for God's Kingdom, but rather, it is proof Mr. Camping is a false prophet. The Bible warns us against such low-life idiocy and for good reason.

    EDIT: OK, to be more specific regarding your question.."Rapturists, spiritually speaking, are you happy you got five more months of life on Earth?"

    Specifically speaking....it doesn't matter (and I'm not trying to be sarcastic...)

    Frankly, I would have rather gone to Heaven but, clearly, God Himself is showing He and He alone is in control. Mr. Camping was wrong, again, but I do admire or at least respect his stand for the doctrine of the Rapture.

    Do I believe his theory of the Rapture, or a set date in the future? Not a chance. The Lord Jesus Himself will descend from Heaven, according to 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, and one day all, repeat ALL, Christians who have genuinely been born again will LEAVE this earth.

    May I quote from a radio minister? He closed his broadcast every evening by saying, "Live every day as if it were your last, for someday, it will be". Sound advice.

    ehh personally I never believed that 5/21/11 would be the day. Biblically speaking, no one would know when the day would be so I never believed it....but yes I do believe that people will be raptured when the time come... but no I'm not sure if I will be raptured.

    I answer this question strictly from the interpretation by rapturists you mean people who believe in "the possibility of being raptured, I am who who believes so.

    What makes you think that all those who accept biblical rapture believe that a date can be set? You lump us all into Harold Camping's Cult group that is a tiny faction that the media has hyped up and overblown for you atheist to gawk at?

    End time event can happen at any moment, not some date a senile old man sets who doesn't know the most simplistic doctrine in eschatology

    Mr. Camping is pure nonsense He is going against the Bible. " No one will know the hour." He keeps doing math and coming up with dates he's been doing it for 18years and He's been wrong every time. Yeah I guess eventually he may be right if he lives long enough.

    camping is no prophet. I never believed in the other dates. I just know that the 2nd advent is supposed to happen between 1948 and 2018. But no one can know the exact day nor the time.
