Tomorrow's the day Harold Camping, a Christian radio broadcaster, predicts Christ will return to earth and Judgement Day will commence. Camping and his followers have been publicizing that theory on billboards around the country. Of course, there's a lot of discussion on the Internet about the End of the World as we know it.
MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Robert Howard, the author of 'Digital Jesus: The Making of a New Christian Fundamentalist Community on the Internet.' He's also the director of digital studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
