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.

I have to admit I'm not always as good a Christian as I should be, I haven't quite read Ravelations yet as a whole. Bits n pieces, sure, but I've just started trying to read the whole Bible.

Well, after waiting with baited breath for all of 0.2 seconds...it appears that the Rapture did not occur as sceduled. A reliable source has confirmed that the Family Network is re-reading its goat entrails to find the actual date and time of the Rapture.

Sooooo...

It looks like all of you sinners out there have yet another chance to repent your sins and mail your tax-deductible donation to the Family Network and assist them in their God-given quest to scare the c**p out of everyone!

And what a pity!

I was kinda looking forward to the Zombie Librarians!!!!!

You guys aren't out of it yet. From what I hear tell, 21st May is only the START of the rapture. There will be an increasing number of natural disasters culminating with the destruction of the Earth on 21st October 2011.

I ain't worried though, I'm a practicing drunken delusionist, I take my spirit via a bottle until the world is a round plate supported on the backs of four elephants who are in turn carried on the back of a giant space turtle and I am a meat popsicle.



(1 point for anyone identifying the popsicle reference and 4 points for the space turtle)
