I dont see how everyone is exploiting it and i find nothing wrong with the comment, its meant to be a joke.
No one is making fun or saying anything about christianity and beliefs, the reason people find it so hard to believe is because the guy had no proof it was the end, everyone interprets the bible their own way, but then to gather some magic numbers do a few calculations and come up with a date is rather absurd, more absurd that 17 years ago he did the same exact thing.
Christians find it wrong because there is no one but god that would know the end of the world. Atheists find it funny, not to make a joke of religion, but because this guys came up with this randomly, and got it wrong first time, that he's hardly going to be right, and of course if you dont believe in god there isn't going to be a rapture for you.
Really i just think there are going to be a lot of angry people who believed what he said, gave up their lifes to spread the word of the rapture. People will be left with no money, jobs or home because they believed the word of this man.
