Today’s top trending topic is the Rapture and Rapture parties set to take place Saturday night.
The mass exodus of pure Christian souls to Heaven has gained notoriety this week after the prediction of Harold Camping, the civil engineer turned leader of Family Radio that the Rapture would occur this Saturday.
From the Seattle Times:
Looking at biblical passages, and using mathematical calculations, Camping says he's pinpointed the date of the Rapture to May 21. Those left on Earth will then go through five months of "horror and chaos beyond description" before the world ends on Oct. 21, according to Family Radio's website.
Camping’s prediction has been met with criticism by atheists and sane people alike and many atheist groups are holding Rapture parties to celebrate his idiocy.
Seattle atheist Paul Case told the Seattle Times that if "(the rapture) occurs, it's a good thing for us. We get the real estate and cheap cars, and we won't have to worry about separation of church and state,” and if the Rapture doesn't happen, "it's another egg in the face of those who say the end times will come. So it's a win-win for us.”
I’m really happy to hear about this story because I don’t have plans for Saturday. Now I can either watch a religious nut eat crow or see a bunch of Christians fly naked through the sky. Either way I’m entertained. Honestly I wish the Rapture would happen so I could loot some Christian houses. My unholy ass could certainly use the money.
