Well if it’s the rapture, I’ll be celebrating. Most of the people I don’t like will be going away.
Good point. That would make for a frustratingly mystifying rest of my life.
That is finals week at our school.
Oddly, there must be a Rapture every finals week, as lots of students disappear those days…
What I really need to be doing is looking for one RICH believer who will simply give me his car, house keys, credit cards and cash the day before, so he is not encumbered by all those earthly things.
Come on - if you are a true believer, you’ll fork them over - what have you got to lose?
I wish I worked at the power company. I’d like to turn everybody’s light off for a while just to fuck with them.
Seriously tho’, people quiting their jobs? Spending their life savings? WTF?
Rapture!? I thought they said “rupture”. Now I gotta return this truss. :mad:
I’m hoping that I at least get to see my report card with straight A’s. It would be a good way to go out. Although 10 minutes after the start of yesterday’s final, I notice about 20% students had disappeared; maybe this is a two-tiered raptured?
I’ll raise a sillier question. Does anyone think he has a significant following of conservative-spectrum Christians?
Alas, I think he does believe it. At one time, he had a relatively successful & respected global shortwave radio network that many Christians listened to as it had Biblical reading & traditional sacred music. Now he is pretty much regarded as a loony, a cultist & a false prophet by most Christians who pay any attention to him at all.
Oh- and to answer the OP, I’ll be at the town’s three-day Folk Music Festival.
I’ll be standing atop a pile of corpses, naked but for runes painted in blood all over my body, inside a burned out, desecrated cathedral. In other words, a typical Saturday night.
Awesome short story idea; go with it!
I think there are three possibilities:
- The rapture does not occur. The people who prepared for it by giving away all their stuff have no money left to buy cake. More cake is available for me.
- The rapture does occur. Many are taken and I am left. I will suffer tribulations. Also, more cake is available for me.
- The rapture does occur. I will be taken up to heaven where there will be lots of cake.
In summary, the options are cake, tribulations and cake, or eternal bliss and cake.
I’ll be in Springfield, Illinois doing the Lincoln historical thing. Which reminds me, gotta go bump a thread. . .
I will be at my dinner club. This month’s theme is “soul food”. No relation.
On May 21 I’m supposed to begin training for my first marathon. Perhaps I should just stay home with a bag o’donuts instead.
What he said.
I’m looking forward to CNN’s coverage of Twitter during the event.
Dopefest of course. Where else would you want to be for the apocalypse? (And just to drive the point home, we’re meeting at a science museum.)
I’ll be celebrating my birthday!
Jesus: always stealing my thunder.
I’m going to join in the post rapture looting. I’m gettin’ me some guns and ukuleles.
You’d better hurry. My understanding is that the Rapture is only going to take 144,000 people. That’s not a lot of loot to divide up among the seven billion of us who stay behind.
Let’s face it, if they weren’t seeking so much publicity, they could have had their Rapture and the rest of us wouldn’t have even noticed.
Well, except for the massive earthquakes, and the Earth blowing up 5 months later.
