ReTHUGs are scared shitless and I'm lovin' it.

That's why I said it marked the end of the Reagan Revolution. True as Octafish pointed out Reaganomics still rule but it won't be long before we banish that to the history books

Are the seatbelts to help prevent us from being sucked up like vacuum pennies into the Christian Heaven?

I mean, what's all this foot-washing and king and prince and archangels stuff? I haven't heard squat about a Bill of Right, and eternity has to be a very long time.

If that's possible, but I need some decoding here. Should I go grocery shopping today then, or do you think I'm safe to go tomorrow. Sorry, maybe it's my math. Or being a lapsed Catholic and having no idea what those numbers mean.

The higher the number, the more likely the Rapture. The number ranks various "end time" events, as deduced by a bunch of evangelical nutjobs. The Catholic Church is not really into the Rapture thing, which is probably why you never heard of it. Whenever the number is above 180 or so you are basically taking your life in your hands whenever you venture onto the highways in Bible Belt country because of all the driverless SUVs wreaking havoc on the road when the drivers are sucked right out of their seats and clothes.

I heard of the rapture, I live in SC and I can't get away from this stupidity. I just didn't understand the scoring system and what the numbers mean. Now I feel more informed, and will be looking forward to grabbing a car or two. I hope I don't get to pick up the payments.

I will be extra careful driving today, and again thanks.

Of course if the Rapture is real they are probably not going to make the cut though. Rats. Foiled again.
