Reply #85: Sorry, after reading the full article at the OP's link, I can't see him as a "creep",

just a lost human being overtaken by a massive delusion.

Fitzpatrick, for his part, spent the day as if it were his last.

For breakfast, he had coffee, toast and Ezekiel 4 : 9 brand Golden Flax cereal.

"The spiritual significance of these grains, I am not sure," said Fitzpatrick.

He felt no need to do the dishes, but did take a moment to feed peanuts to two squirrels that hang out at his back door.

"Only people can be saved - there will be no animals in heaven," he said.

Fitzpatrick spent several hours at home responding to emails and making calls. Then it was time for his final lunch of chicken tenders and spinach served with lemon. "I expect this to be my last meal," he said.

Next, Fitzpatrick drove to the nursing home that cares for his 94-year-old mother, who suffers from dementia. As parting gifts he brought grapes, a granola bar, juice, chocolates and a bottle of water.

"I read a passage - Luke 23," he said of his 30-minute visit. "It's an example of a thief on the cross and Jesus saving people up to the last minute."

Fitzpatrick planned to do the same. He kissed his mother goodbye and jumped on the 4:30 p.m. ferry to Manhattan, where he warned people of the Rapture until the bitter end.

I'm just a softie, I guess.
