    Arrow Saturday is the Rapture

    Okay, who's ready for the beginning of the end?



    Here's a handy guide to Saturday's rapture.

    More importantly, here's post-rapture petcare. You wouldn't want your pet iguana dying of dehydration just because you're been united with the Heavenly Father, would you?

    not sure which is more shocking: Jesus knows ninjitsu or Jesus is a cat-burgler.

    Yeah, I seem to remember that being a repeated theme in the Bible- you don't know when the end is coming, so you should be your best at all times. It kind of makes me wonder what bibles these people are reading where they can find the date and time....

    if they can make up a concept as the rapture, that has no real biblical support, then making up a date is easy.

    Apparently the guy got the date from multiplying three Biblically significant numbers together (3/7/12 IIRC), then multiplying that by two, and adding that onto the number of days from Jesus death on the cross. Because that is obviously when the rapture must be, for some reason...
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    There's going to be at least one disappointed 89 year old uber Christian living in South California... he said he was going to spend the day watching the news to make sure anything happens, and I thought to myself "isn't that what every 89 old man does pretty much every day, anyways?"

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    I celebrated the rapture by running a 5K and then gardening. I can't wait to hear the backpedaling. "Oh, wait! I did the math wrong. The rapture is going to be NEXT year..."
