Zero sympathy. Zero

I'm not so extreme in my feelings.

I think they were conned, they're probably not the most critical thinking people in the world, but they didn't deserve it, and I feel really bad for their kids (and all the children affected by this) too.

The kids, they get my sympathy. The parents are morons and would likely do the gene pool a favor by not reproducing. I'm sorry but I have no sympathy for people that decide to believe that a man is getting inside info from God about when the world will end. I guarantee these people are insane, scary and not that unlike many others.
