Have you noticed that all the Christian nuts that believe in the Rapture are also certain that they will be Raptured? Never occurs to them that maybe God isn't interested in saving their insufferable selves.

The problem with Christians is a distinct lack of paitience, every five minutes they expect the end.

We've been waiting for Ragnarok for centuries, it'll come when it comes and utill then i'll eat, drink and be merry.

The Romans had the right idea - throw 'em all to the lions!

Interesting difference in religious thinking - in Norse mythology what you do upon the day of Ragnarok ( on the vale) is what counts, not how you prepare your self piously for the day.

Of course - you might not get there as 3 years of war, a 7 year winter and multiple natural disaster will wipe out pretty much everything before the final battle begins - featuring the gods of old, jotuns and whatever else can be pressed into service ( Twilight 1000 ).

In the end everything living will die- AND all the gods - except for a couple of people that will re colonize our planet and start it all over again.

Ragnarok - I think it is one of the more hard core end of days around

That's kind of the whole point of being a Christian.

Oops, typo. Should have read "I've been called a lot of things in my life...."

There are no atheists in the fox holes..I mean- a mans faith is his own businiss.

The rapture - well I guess we will find out. A lot of christian factions do not recognize it as part of the curriculum though, the Catholic church and the Lutheran World Federation etc , then again some do.

I wasn't aware of that. Kind of strange, believing in Christ coming back to Earth is a major part of Christianity to me.

Christ coming back is a signature belief in all Christian sects.

The concept of the rapture is mostly American. Essentialy they believe that all of God's chosen will be swept up and transported to Heaven during one, dramatic event. Everyone left is, well, screwed.

The Catholic church subscribes pretty much to events as stated in revelations.

Do zombie librarians still wear the pencil skirts, hair up, and glasses? That would fill me with an intriguing mix of horror and longing.

Default Time for another beer

Well, if TEOTWAWKI is going to happen at 18:00 on the West Coast, Will we on the East Coast even notice?

If TEOTWAWKI is going to happen at 18:00 on the West Coast, Is that Daylight Savings Time or Standard Time?

If TEOTWAWKI is going to happen at 18:00 on the West Coast, can I tell my supervisor to F*** OFF???

If TEOTWAWKI is going to happen at 18:00 on the West Coast, I have less than 30 minutes here in North Carolina to get ready. More Beer!

Just my two cents worth!!



I'll talk to you all tomorrow!!!!

Mike

Well, it seems that we made it in one piece. Maybe it was that last cold brew that convinced God that maybe Man had invented one thing that was worth saving???

My two cents worth

Wait one! It appears there's another eruption in Iceland which is threatening to black out the skies again as it did last year!
Perhaps this particular nutjob was only out by a day?

The end is nigh! Repent your sins!

Yep, and they're constantly intoning you to be quiet as they beat you to death with heavy books.

You know, it occurs to me that librarians must have decent upper body strength from moving around all those books.
