So.
The Rapture's supposed to happen today.
To those less religiously inclined, here's a short summary, courtesy of our ever-credible source Wikipedia.
" The primary passage used to support the idea of the Rapture is 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17, in which Paul cites "the word of the Lord" about the return of Jesus to gather his saints.
... 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. 1 Thess 4 "
i.e. those virgin Christians who've skipped meals to pray will somehow be zooped up to the heavens without their clothes (as what common belief tells us.) (the without clothes part, that is.)
Well. Not like I'm particularly involved in this event in any way should it actually occur.
But it's an interesting thought! How long will things continue running? What if those people running the power plants are good little theists? If your pilot zooped off and your plane was left in free fall, would the forsaken passengers still pray? And the most important question of all...
What if you were taking MRT at the moment of the Rapture?
(cue trololol)
Oh well. Then again, there is the chance that the Rapture has already occured, just that no one zooped up.
Why?
Because this world is a vomitous cesspit for the seething filth that is the ignorance, ineptitude and inadequacy of Man.
Life is a plague. Rationality and Faith are both equal painkillers at best.
