Everyone's still here so no rapture. Maybe now, instead of waiting for some inevitable mystic ending, we work really hard together toward something... infinite. Let's start with getting a human bootprint on Mars, writing some books that people will still be reading 10,000 years from now, and composing music that makes looking at our mortality more bearable. Who's with me?

By "rapture" do you mean "AGW"?

Maybe some kinda huge boot-firing cannon that we point at Mars and fire?

Having nothing serious to contribute to the conversation, allow me instead to offer these bits of popular culture for your amusement:

Douglas Adams wrote:
There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.


So maybe it happened, and then the universe ended, and then God made a new universe that just picked right up where the old one left off... only weirder. And our memories now reflect that--like, instead of Al Gore, we all remember George Bush winning in 2000, and history has been changed to reflect that. I mean, who are you to say that God didn't just make the whole universe now. Er, now.

...

Now.

Yeah, sophomoric pseudo-philosophy aside, I've always appreciated this exchange:

If the process of getting Raptured is "have a heart attack while driving and then crash into a tree," then count me as being double-plus happy about being a nonbeliever now.

Jesus rode Shackleford to beat out Animal Kingdom and Astrology for the apocalyptic win!

Sadly, Mucho Macho Man finished sixth.

Here is an Awful Truth.
Drew's polite, humorous, beautifully re-done, poster is
(a) going up on my wall
(b) a terribly effective anti-AGW device. How can something that maps so well to Rapture sarcasm possibly be real?

Bah. The darn thing could become an internet meme, and there would be no way to monetize it.
