The problem is that people like Camping seem to think that they are the only ones who are particularly "tuned in" to what their god says, when it's not that they've interpreted anything in the bible correctly, but rather they are using particular bible passages to support what they want to believe in the first place. It's a kind of megalomaniacal behavior. I think it's what drives all cult leaders to not only assume that they're infallible, but to start thinking that they themselves are gods.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
