Oh lordy, lordy. Until a little while ago I was blissfully ignorant of "The Rapture" and then Dave over at Chicken or Beef went and spoiled it all for me. Now I wake up this morning to the sound of excavation of a huge hole in the building site across the street and low and behold there they are - two different articles on The Rapture staring at me right from my laptop.
First we have Apocalypse how from the Chicago Tribune, and then there's Mark Morford's latest column Earth To Humankind: Back Off. The idea that whacko evangelicals are encouraging Israel to continue bulldozing the West Bank for its own purposes because it will hasten the onset of rapture frankly explains a lot.
Clearly GWB is working for the rapture crowd, going about the world stiring it up like a kid with a stick in a hornets nest, setting man against man, man against beast (thanks again C or B, more on that later) and all because a bunch of whackos are in hurry to get to heaven. Why can't they just go to their garage start the car up, or rent a big abandoned Wal-Mart somewhere and all put plastic bags over their heads like the rest of the cultists do? Suicide can be painless, but global war is bloody murder - just ask my mum who lived through one.
