With all the fundies removed due to intervention by a higher power, I expect that what’s left will be more along the lines of Heaven on Earth. But just in case, I’ll daven really, really, hard. ---

[/QUOTE] Heaven on Earth perhaps till the Horsemen ride & the Trumpets sound, but maybe you can get sealed among the 144000 or join up with the Moses & Elijah lookalikes on their 1260 day mission. ---

[QUOTE=Shirley Ujest] Corner my local market in guns, ammo, cigars, cigerettes petrol and beer sales. You heathens need supplies and I intend to help you out. Oh, and I think I will build a large battle dome for a new Reality TV show I would host. **A Day At Auntie Entity’s!** _Two men enter. One man leaves._ [/QUOTE] This would be a good movie. Well, of course what you are describing already is a good movie, in fact several movies. No, I mean a post apocalyptic world that is actually literally after the Biblical apocalypse. That kind of survival story, where things are truly wretched, would be pretty cool. ---

I’ll be grabbing a lawnchair and a cooler full of beer so I can sit out on the front lawn laughing at the assholes who just knew they were going and waving goodbye to all those saved strangers (the Lord knows I won’t know any of 'em) as they head to the promised land. I figure I’ll be in an alcohol induced coma by the time the zombies and horsemen arrive. Guess I should schedule time for sex before then - there’s no way that young guy at the end of the block is getting saved…his damn door revolves (and they look pretty damn happy leaving). ---

Immediately after I’d probably turn to the person next to me and say, “Hmm, don’t see that everyday.” ---

[QUOTE=FriarTed] Malacandra- the rationality of some secularist Dopers kinda goes into default mode when considering “what if you are faced with undeniable evidence of God/Jesus/The Bible” scenarios, considering the amount of “If the Biblical God is real, then when I face Him, I’ll spit in His face” comments I’ve seen. Really, they’ll be wetting themselves & sobbing like skinny b_tch_s with skinned knees. [/QUOTE] Being a wimp, you are probably right. But it would be similar to the wetting and sobbing I’d do if a victim of the Stalist purges or if accused of witchcraft during the Inquisition (to avoid Godwinization). A God who exists that would torture thousands of good souls for non-belief is not just, nor right and not worthy of worship - and if that means that eventually I wet my pants in front of such a God, so be it. ---

I don’t believe in Rapture. But that’s mainly because I’m too old for that crap. I believe in the Classic Rockture. ---

Who wants to join my Straight Dope post-apocalyptic gang of thugs? (BYO-deathmobile.) We’ll need to have a pre-determined rendezvous point. Let’s meet at the Waffle House at exit 333. ---
