Any signs of the Rapture yet?

I live in a mostly liberal city full of Lutherans so I'm not expecting much activity around here, and I'm a little disappointed because I could use a new car. Maybe I'll head out to one of the suburbs where there are megachurches and wealthier people. But now I'm wondering - if people get raptured while they are driving, will the car keep going? Will there be a lot of accidents? Maybe I should stay out of the suburbs until after the morning rush hour.

DUers living in the Bible Belt, anything going on there? Naked people floating upwards?

Maybe this is it!

But sadly, it was just my stomach remembering who's in the white house.

God, he’s such a moron, talking about teleprompters and escalators. Stumbling over his text, bragging on accomplishments. He never made, God what an embarrassment.

At least for football fans…Lions beat the Ravens

Guess you could call it rapture.

That’s how I survived the last Rapture. A very near thing that time. I floated above it like a child’s toy balloon for hours before the higher powers finally gave up.

It’s a choice, darn it!

I read that the time frame is more broadly this week, and might be tomorrow.

I hadn't thought of the benefit to the rest of us.

Will the housing market free up?
