Wouldn’t it be cool if judgment day, End Times WAS real, but only for the believers? Sort of like a ‘built in expiration date’ for the believers.

The rest of us would just go on living.

My wife’s birthday is on the 21st. Is it wrong to wait until the 22nd to get her a gift ?

I just hope they’ve thought of the [kitties](http://www.aftertherapturepetcare.com/).

I’m trying to book a flight on the 22nd and really having a rough go of it. Hope this makes it all moot.

Yes. Unfortunately, the only one taken was Jimmy Hoffa.

So God tells Noah that in 7 days he will destroy the earth and in 7 days he destroys the earth by flood. A normal person would consider that deal to be done.

This goes beyond cherry-picking, beyond making the weakest of connections. He’s telling people this and they’re not taking a collection to send him on the vacation that he obviously needs? Damn.

Was there ever a prediction that Jesus would rise after 3 days, because if so that would actually be 3000 years and we should still be waiting for that, too.

And, of course, Methuselah lived to be 969 years old, so that’s actually almost 354 million years.

Most Mayan-ologists believe it was August 13, 3114 BC; the other serious contenders are August 11 of the same year and October 15, 3374 BC.

You mean all the A-holes would just go up in a puff of smoke?

I’d be like that kid in ‘Animal House’… “Thank You, Og!!!” 😃
