The Rapture Approaches

Or so they would have us believe...yes, ladies and gentlemen, once again "THE END IS NIGH!!!!" Tomorrow is the 6th day of the 6th month of the 6th year of the new millenium and THIS TIME it is REALLY over! No bullshit, God is REALLY going to call the faithful to Heaven and the Antichrist will rule the earth.

Unless it doesn't happen again.

Personally, Mogadishu Jones is not a Christian, but he sure fucking likes a good disaster movie! I am not sure how I would react if this was the end of the world, but I don't think it would upset me overly much. For one thing, I wouldn't be making mortgage payments anymore. I'd just shoot the shit out of anyone who attempts to repo my car or my home.

And would the world REALLY be that bad without Christians running around? I somehow doubt it would, really. No one telling you that having sex doggy-style is wrong, no 0ne telling you that you can't eat meat on Friday EXCEPT under SPECIAL DISPENSATION because your football team won the Championship (I'm not kidding, that shit really does happen), no one promoting slavery and intolerance and excusing it by saying "The Bible clearly states...." Oh, and the lack of Christians would be a giant leap forward for Peace in the Middle East since that would be one less faction to fight over Jerusalem and Bethlehem.

And remember what Nietzche had to say on the subject: "Do you know what is missing in Heaven? All the interesting people."

I don't expect tomorrow to be any different from yesterday, really...but it is a grand idea that maybe the world WILL come to an end, isn't it? Maybe the next time we will get it right.
