The Rapture (Updated)

Just a brief word on the Rapture, which is to take place tomorrow, 5/21/2011. Some people are calling this the end of the world. Here's a quote from the bible verse this is based on:

.. and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord

This sounds fair. It wouldn't be bad if that happened, unless you were standing by a graveyard. Spooky to see all the dead in Christ rising from their eternal rest. Also pretty off-putting it would be to see those who are alive and remain being caught up and drawn into the clouds. But if that pleases them, go for it. Some countries will be less crowded. Some political parties would be less crowded. But don't let that discourage you true believers. We will miss you. Really, many of my best friends and family are true believers. In that sense, I'm hoping this is yet another false prophecy.

If it does happen, know that I am on earth, waving you a very fond adieu.

Update - Oh, I see. The Final Judgement is part of this Rapture thing. Non-believers get to enjoy a fiery Hell on Earth. I guess that would prove global warming. Seems a little negative to me, but that threat would probably keep your followers in line.

Looks like we will have an interesting day ahead.
