Hot Damn, it’s Friday, time to get Raptured - or not…

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.

This week the index is up one to 149 from last week’s value of 148. That’s great news unless you’re looking forward to getting their stuff when they disappear heavenward. 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.

The change this week was due to an increase in the value of “Gog” from 3 to 4. But hey, once again, I bet you guessed that. If you didn’t, according to our buddies, “Gog” is the ancient name for the land of Russia. In the last days, Russia will make a move against Israel and be defeated by a supernatural act of God. At any rate, Putin is going to visit Israel in April - hence the rise in the index. As I said, you knew that anyway.

If the rapture comes, all the right-wing-fundamentalist-reality-challenged biblebanging bigots 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 bigoted 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.
