If it’s Friday, it’s time for the RAPTURE!

As you all are aware, our loony right-wing-fundamentalist friends at www.raptureready.com publish a weekly “Rapture Index” indicating how likely it is that the Second Coming is, well - coming.

OK, Rapture fans, the index is … screwed up. The gang is reporting that it’s down one to 153 from last week’s value of 154. But they’re also reporting that it was updated on the 6th. So they’ve missed the North Korean’s nookuwler announcement. Oh well. We’ll see what happens next week.

Remember, the record high is at 182 set the week of September 24, 2001 and the record low is at 57 and was set during the week of December 12, 1993.

As usual, I never know whether I’m supposed to root for the index to go up or down. If the rapture comes, all the people that I believe are right-wing-fundamentalist-reality-challenged biblebangers will disappear and we’ll get their stuff. That’s surely not a bad thing.

The bad news is that a substantial number of those right-wing-fundamentalist-reality-challenged biblebanging buttheads are running our nation. These people believe that the rapture is going to happen sooner rather than later, so why not rape the earth. It apparently governs policy towards Israel to some extent also. I still don’t understand it. I’m still waiting for a student of “fundie philosophy” to enlighten me and the other reader.

At any rate, read all about the index and the values that go into the final number here.
