The Rapture

Is it okay to kill in the name of God? Can ethics, morals and technology peacefully co-exist?

Well, folks, just in case ... (credits to Skeeter Davis ... )

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me any more?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why every thing's the same as it was
I can't understand. No, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye



Um, goodbye. Until tomorrow (?)

Well, they only seem to be interested in some Italian hipster, so I think that cuts most of us here out of the loop.

I could be wrong! They could all be after St. Jimmy, but they'd have to go through his girlfriend first, sooo ...

CATFIGHT!!

Wow! The idea of the Rapture keeps getting better and better ... except for the lame Blondie theme song. They should have gone with X Offender or something from the Parallel Lines album instead ...

I've got a big deadline coming up next week, and still a lot of work to be done. Does this mean I don't have to do it?

Well you happy lot, its d-day and h-hour + 188 mins as I blog this from this side of the world (which is as you know, is a country ahead of its time), and can I say that I'm disappointed that all of the christians that I know are still here and haven't showed any signs of disappearing dammit.

I hope it's not true, our office administrator is a Christian, and I have some things I need her to do next week.

My wife woke me up with a rendition of REM's "It's the End of the Word" this morning.

Kind of sad, really, that people can be so delusional - when this happened back in the 1840s, there was at least one suicide and many, many people were financially destroyed. Mulitiply that by the increase in population (who believe) and the power of the media and this could be pretty bad. I wouldn't be suprised if some wingnut took out Camping, either - he should probably spend some of his millions on extra security.

Apparently, there's a lot of people interested in this service because the site says:

ONLY CONTRACT SUBMISSIONS WITH PAYPAL SUBMISSIONS WILL BE REPLIED TO IMMEDIATELY. ALL OTHER INQUIRES AND EMAILS WILL BE REPLIED TO WITHIN THE NEXT 24 TO 48 HOURS. OUR APOLOGIES.


I wonder how many e-mails it takes to max out you reply and inbox limit with a free MSN email address....

There might well be similar occurrences today. Their homepage showes billboards from a lot od underdeveloped countries where badly educated will fall for that drivel even easier.

6:30 p.m. here, nothing. Really. Nothing. I'm so relieved.

We're six hours past here, and nothing. Jimmy, I would recommend cancelling your order if you can.

[woo-woo mode]The rapture did happen, and you still being here obviously means that you're a sinner or non-believer. [/woo-woo mode]

Well he obviously did and called it off, big mouth. I guess Jesus likes football too. (Wonder what team He supports? Dosen't matter, whatever team would always be the winners. :wink: )

Damn.

I opened a lawn chair and opened a beer and everything to watch. :(

This just in! Harold Camping comes down with a hernia, claims the whole thing was a typo! He said "rupture."

We now return you to originally scheduled Christian raving looney broadcasting.

I notice the "Family Radio" website

http://www.familyradio.com/index2.html

is down. :lol:

Hey, MM_Dandy, you still here? Because if you are, no Rapture today. (No sarcasm intended; I figure you would be on the first flight, good soul.)
