So .. are you still here? Well, so am I, dammit. I guess none of us were good enough to be sucked up into god's mouth like an overcooked spaghetti noodle during this so-called "Rapture".
Since I had already been enduring some rather serious tribulations of my own for the past two years, in the form of unhappy unemployment punctuated with several brief bouts of underemployment (combined with liberal quantities of abuse so I would not forget the general misery of my existence), I was truly ready for a rapturous moment. Oh yes, a rapturous moment such as learning that I will finally have a job that was newly vacated this morning, and that I would also have health insurance and a steady income for the first time in years! On the other hand, if I am still not good enough for a job, I would have settled for a more centrally located apartment on the Upper West Side or in Midtown. After all, someone has to take care of all those abandoned pets in Manhattan that would otherwise die of starvation. And considering that almost everyone would have been gone anyway, the rent for those areas would probably be reasonable, too.
Damn. I was prolly watching some crap TV show at the time too. Oh well.
According to the Bible, "No one knows the hour...". So as long as people keep predicting that this day, or that other day, is the 2nd coming, it will never happen. So, we had 6/6/06 (which isn't even a number), we had May 25th, 2006. What we need is lots more crazies to pick days, so that all days are covered.
Wait a minute, you say, getting taken to Heaven is a GOOD thing! So why would you want to prevent it? Well, the Bible also says things like "The road to salavation is narrow...", and other hints that not everyone will make it. I assume i'm damned to Hell. I'm a saint, but the Bible says it isn't up to me - and i can't even predict who goes where, including myself. So i'll try to make the most of the time i have here.
