filkertomSupposedly, this Saturday is the Rapture.
The Righteous -- approximately 3% of the world's population -- will be swept up into Heaven. The rest of humanity will suffer through five months of really severe weather before God destroys the universe on October 21.
The first question, of course, is are you ready?
Rapture fans, Are You RRRRRRRRRRRRReady???
The second question is troubling to agnostics and atheists such as myself. What if it actually happens?
What if Harold Camping got the date right, but the faith wrong? What if the Muslims are taken to Heaven, or the Buddhists, or Hamas, or whatever's left of the Manson Family, or Al-Qaida, or the Southern Baptists, or the Pagani, or the atheists!?!?!? (That last one presumes that life is a test of reasoning through evidence.)
Most important of all: What are your plans for Sunday?
