That is nice to know. I always like to keep my options open and on the ready -- just in case.

I can easily see waking up one morning, turning on the radio and hearing that the Rapture had arrived. My first thought would be of the old gypsy fortune teller who had foretold of my death at the hands of giant zombie skeleton's from Hell. And to think I laughed at her. But then she also said I was going to get a promotion at work and that didn't happen.

So what would I do next? Probably, go back to sleep, cause the day ain't getting any better.

-- but then what?

I am going to assume Satan’s Army has all ready taken out the phone service, but if not, I’ll call some friends & family and I won’t even reverse the charges. I figure whatever goes down on earth in the next 24 hours will probably not be reflected on my monthly statement anyway. Next I would sign onto LoT to see if any of you were taken up. My guess would be no. And there would probably be a thread called, THE RAPTURE! and it would pose the question of the day, which, one by one, we would all answer – “Still here.” “I was not taken up.” “Nope.” "Still here, too." “The Starbucks in Portland is open!” "Toot!" Etc.

And then, still in me bathrobe and with Satan’s Army fast approaching, I'd boil some coffee, snag a lawn chair and make my way to the roof of my building.

Of course, I hope Good conquers Evil, but either way I am getting a front row seat.

Good to know that that procrastination skill will come in handy, if needed.

Why do I picture 30 of us standing in a post-apocalyptic Disneyland, somewhere backstage, having the time of our lives?

I just thought of some irony. I wonder how long it will take this game to hit BitTorrent after it's release?

Well, there's always the
Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch:


(Of course, it's a Roman Catholic weapon, so that probably means the other side will be using it).

[quote=MickeyD]Pretty much.

The bible tells us that those who believe in Jesus Christ will be "caught up" with Christ. (The greek word for "caught up" is Harpazo. Harpazo became the Latin word Raptus which is where we get our term "rapture".) It isn't specific as to whether it will happen before the period of tribulation (described in the book of revelation) or after so of course there's much debate on the matter.

Personally, I'm hoping for before. I don't think I want to be around during the Trib.

Ok, I need a nerdy smilie here. I love studying the bible. :D
