Also, google John Wilson Darby - oopsie, the Rapture was made up in the 1800s and isn't even in the Bible!

He also forgot the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

May the meatballs of wrath rain down upon all non-believers!!!

Of course, then the whole rapture issue raises the issue of discrimination:
As HR Manager of an Airline, do I discriminate against hiring Christian Pilots, on the off-chance that they will disappear and leave a plane load of passengers to crash ? Is this a reasonable and legal excuse for discrimination: OH&S ?

Gods bless Mark Twain. I love his writing.

Personally I find the idea of emails in a holding pattern pending the rapture to be a little odd. For reasons already mentioned. Honestly, are these things you'd like to say to people but you don't dare? Is a post-rapture conversion less good? I'd be believing only because in the event of the rapture, I'd have proof and that leaves no need for faith.

A little while back, bumper stickers claiming "In Case of Rapture, This Car Will Be Abandoned" were quiet popular. Shortly thereafter, I saw a retort bumper sticker: "In Case of Rapture, Can I Have Your Car?"

KB neglected the Trefologists, as well. Trefology has been declared by some as the slowest rising new religion in the world!

Oh, no, I've been witnessed to. By a lot of people.

I know they mean well but I find it insulting, insinuating that I am not a good person {they tell me that being a good person isn't enough, the things I do are not enough. I have to say what they want me to, they have to see me accept Christ.} I think, whatever beliefs I have, they are between me and my God. I don't need an audience and I don't hide either.
