In case you haven’t checked the Rapture Ready website lately, the rapture index is all the way up to 166. Of course this is down from an all-time high of 182 in September 2001 and it is lower than 2008’s high score of 170 when Obama won the presidential election, but, according to their indicators, we are still at the highest level possible, threat level “Hold On To Your Seat Belts.”
I can’t help but wonder at the mental state of people who take this stuff seriously.
i LOVE rapture ready!
After I posted this, I noticed that you had something similar on your blog today, David. I just checked out that Christwire.orgwebsite that you mentioned and it is hilarious. I just read the article about how God blessed NASA with the new Ares rocket that will allow them to “plant the standard of freedom on Mars.” Now that’s some funny stuff.
I think Landover Baptist is my favorite.
That is funny that we both had crazy on the mind today. Haha
Ok, so I check out Christwire.org and read some of the articles. I begin to think that they are so extreme that this must be some form of satire. Then, I begin googling Jack Gould Youth Pastor/Motivational Speaker Langley CC and realize that, No, this is for real. I guess assuming that someone is writing in satire is just not a good explanation for extreme writing. I guess that I’m just another over-educated liberal for thinking about writing styles and literary forms rather than just swallowing it all whole.
Then there are some really messed-up people in the world…
you all won’t be laughing when you hear the trumpet sound. repent ye mockers.
