Transcript:
Zonker: So when Chester hit me with Ecclesiastes 8:5, I countered with I Thessalonians 5:2 - "the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night." B.D.: Right. Since when do you know any Scripture? Zonker: B.D., you're not the only one who cracks a Bible around here. B.D.: Incredible. Maybe the world actually is coming to an end today! Boopsie: Okay. So how did you really learn... Zonker: Form "Peanuts." Linus was my man!

Let me wrankle some christians here. There will be a second coming, but there will be no “rapture”. There are stories all through the Bible about how God brought His people through crises, not how He helped His people avoid crises. And before someone starts quoting Mat. 24:40,41, back up to :38 for proper context. It is the workers left in the field (doing the Lord’s work) that are saved, not those who are “taken away”.

10 AM California time. Sun’s shining, birds singing in backyard, dog sleeping at my feet, cat purring in my lap, spouse snoring. I feel raptured!

Anything happened yet? So far so good here in Chicago. It’s drizzling though. Maybe a giant thunderstorm…?

Well, its after 10pm here and no reports of anyone disappearing. But then, I don’t expect the originators of this story expected any degenerate Europeans to be included.

The average atheist knows the bible and Christian religion better than the average Christian.“I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians.” — Ghandi (probably not an accurate version of the quote, but I’m not going to look it up just now).

Five minutes folk. Confess, say goodbye to your pets, and let your mother-in -law out of the attic.. Oh, the timing of the rapture may be sightly off due to technical problems.

So much contradictory “information” in the “holy” bible, and people still hang on every word.
