I think I remember something about a particular branch of Christianity believing in rapture dates, and being super disappointed when their pastor had them all up on a hill, waiting on the date they thought it would happen... I think it happened twice, so eventually they stopped setting dates because even they realized how foolish it was. Or they decided that Jesus was pulling April Fool's jokes on them or something.
I wouldn't be surprised if the 2012 thing worked its way into more fanatical religious sects though.
