Thy END is Nigh!

In three days - May 21 at 6 PM to be exact, the rapture will commence and 3% of the world's most gullible, err.. 'devote' will be magically teleported off the surface of this world. Just imagine - Jesus at the helm of a ST:TOS transporter, cross circuiting to "B" to bring up the faithful

I like to joke that the rapture happened years ago. It's just that no one noticed because only a handful of people worldwide were spirited away.

Where does this myth come from anyway? It's not one I grew up with, having been unlucky enough to be born into a Mormon family. I had all sorts of other kooky crap to deal with instead.

Ever hear my favorite Mormon joke?

This guy dies and goes to heaven (like you do). He's being shown around all the different parts, like in Disney World, except instead of Tomorrowland and Fantasyland, it's Catholicland and Protestandland and Hinduland, etc.

They get to this one part and the guide drops his voice to a barely-audible whisper. "This is Mormonland," he says.

Our guy asks, "Why are we whispering?"

"They think they're the only ones here."

yep, heard it years ago. It's a good joke, but also a painful reminder of how arrogant I was in my teenage years - that much comes natural when you are raised with the belief that you are part of a group who is better than everyone else.

I don't think about my religious past much these days, but when I do, yeah, I'm still angry.

No no no no... they all have it ALL Wrong...

The end of the world comes about when all the Dragons, Fey, Gnomes and Such, let loose Jormangundur and the Fenris Wolf, and Thor has to fight both, thus loosing his arm in the battle, and then then Ragnarock happens.

But that's just one version. And there is no date. So it really is up to the whims of the others to decide when it ends, and if they get REALLY pissed it might happen sooner than later. Just sayin...

*As an aside, I totally swoon when you get all Geeky on me like this... Giggles.*

I've got extra camera gear rented for Saturday. I figure I'm enough of a heathen that I don't need to worry about being sucked into heaven. If it happens I'll have great photos. If it doesn't I'll have great photos for a class I'm taking. Either way I'll have great photos so it works out well for me...

No one knows the day or the hour the Son of Man will return. I REALLY wish the fundamentalists would remember that piece of information.

Well it's about time! :)
