7. Sure it isn't "the rupture"?
That's when the faithful all get hernias.

11. How many "millions"?
It'll be fun to see, I suppose.

And by disappearing without a trace, we are presuming that the catalyst is not a nuclear bomb? :evilgrin:

19. To be fair it's the BOOK coming out then, but it's sounds like a
rehash of the first book in the series. It's supposed to be a prequel.

25. I have a lot of problems with the "Rapture" I don't think it is Biblical
and/or the truth. But the books are a guilty pleasure...

Bible. That is for sure.

33. HypnoToad

I don't know how I'll die but I seriously doubt if anyone I know will leave the earth on 6/6/06.
As for me ~ I have a date to try some garlic ice cream later on this year that I don't intend to miss.

37. Indeed!
Have a wonderful time together, and enjoy the anticipation as well.

Sorry for the obscure reference, I thought you were making a rapture joke as well.

34. Just to be safe it might be a good policy to wrap up on a fundie
when you see them walking down the street just wrap up on them football style then when you feel safe explain that you thought they might be raptured at any second and you didn't want to miss out on the Jesus sky vaccuum deal.

35. The "news" are great
Very sad indeed that the page is not satire, as I had hoped initially.


This part is just great:
http://www.leftbehind.com/channelfree.asp?pageid=1293&channelID=175
"
Now, I recognize there is a diversity of viewpoints regarding Christian eschatology, the various theories for how and when the "end times" will play out. And I recognize the Left Behind series portrays one particular position within Christian eschatological thinking. And I also recognize not every believer agrees with the position taken by Left Behind authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. But to make the claim that The Da Vinci Code has no more harmful ideas in it than the Left Behind novels is simply outrageous.

Let's just take a quick reality check. Whether you agree with their theology or not, the Left Behind novels are based on legitimate biblical scholarship. They promote a theory of Christian eschatology that is embraced by millions of believers today and a multitude of highly respected scholars, theologians, and pastors. No serious student of Christian history or theology would question the validity of the Left Behind series' place at the table of biblically feasible eschatological positions.

36. What these sad, pathetic people don't know is that
the PNACers they were counting on to bring about their precious Rapture blew their chance to start World War III in June of 2005. Not '06, '05. These little shits are SOL. Sorry, Rapture-folks, you're going to have to watch the Ascention take place right on earth. I know, I know, you're going to lose it all. No more controlling women's bodies, no more being able to persecute the gay and lesbian folks of the world, no more being able to justify beating children or denying them medical care. The horror! I wish you luck.

39. ROFL!
I remember when I was in grade school (about 100 years ago). It was a VERY Catholic school, and every once in a while there's be a rumor going around that the end of the world was coming. It was never next year, next month or even next week; it was always TOMORROW! And there would be a specific time; like 2:30. We would all (kids and adults) flock to confession. You could be standing in line for hours.
When I think about it now, it's hilarious. Back then, it was terrifying.

41. From the link: "Don't wait. Become an active part of the Left Behind
community right now!"

This might be the funniest thing I've read in a while.
