the Apocalypse...
Not as exciting as I thought it would be

Robin's commentary --

Except for an eruption of a volcano in Iceland, the 2011 end of times prediction made by American Christian radio host Harold Camping stated that on May 21, 2011 that God's elect people would be taken on this date with the end of the world to follow on October 21, 2011 was rather quiet considering Camping's prediction that there would be massive earthquakes across the world beginning at 6 p.m. Eastern.

"In Christian eschatology, the Rapture is a reference to the being caught up referred to in the Biblical passage 1 Thess 4:17, when in the End Times the Christians of the world will be gathered together in the air to meet Jesus Christ.-- Wikipedia


I guess that means that if you don't show up for work on Monday... you have a valid excuse.

As for the rest of us... if you didn't get a chance to take the trip the first time, you'll get a second chance according to Sir Isaac Newton who proposed based on his calculations using figures from the Book of Daniel that the Apocalypse could happen no earlier than 2060.

as for the real date of the rapture... God only knows.

My wife and I thought we might have missed the train but to make sure we were ok, we went to get a cup of coffee. Since they were open, we figured that it wasn't the end. I guess I need to pay the bills I have been putting off!
