I swear I'd love to have a hidden camera in all of their houses to video tape the looks of profound disappointment on their faces when Jesus doesn't come for them. :D

6. I thought it was August 2nd or 3rd that was supposed to be the big day...
Any way you slice it, both those days are going to be DAMNED HOT! Helluva time for a Rapture, if you ask me. All Puns Intended, except where prohibited by law. Offer may expire. :)

7. I'm sure they are praying for it right now mixing up some cool-aid
Talk about distortion & delusional. I like the way they changed it from having to actually be in the middle east to get beamed up to heaven to you can be anywhere so long as the shit happens there. Typical chickenhawk mind set. Be a real pisser if they get beamed up and find Jews or the Pope in charge. Even better muslims :smile:

12. Humanists offer cash for rapture victims
http://www.cfiwest.org/info/Rapture.htm

The Center for Inquiry-West is making an unprecedented offer to their fundamentalist fellow citizens: Live out your last days in cash-rich comfort before the Rapture hits.



“We’ve been hearing about the coming Rapture for years now, so we decided to earmark thousands of dollars for the purchase of cars, boats, houses and other valuable assets,” said Center for Inquiry-West Executive Director James Underdown. “ We will pay 10¢ on-the-dollar for people’s (soon-to-be) meaningless earthly possessions -- to anyone who truly believes the rapture is at hand.”

14. One can only hope.
I know I'm waiting for it. Unfortunately, reality-based persons know that there will never come a day when the stupidity meter on this planet drastically drops due to a bunch of assholes being whisked up to heaven. :(
