Rapture Ready?

Northwind: emerging from partial coccoon of Patron and beer can empties, knocking pipe over and spilling bong water on the last traces of cocaine:

We're still Alive?

a real christian would have fed the poor, helped a friend in need

The Danish philosopher Kierkegaard reckoned there were very few real christians, he theorised that if a society is majority christian it stands to reason that most people would say they were christians to assimilate into the peer group, saying they are a christian also implies they are inherently good.

Why dont all the churches give all their wealth to the poor like Jesus did? the reason they dont is because they are self perpetuating businesses only interested in feathering their own nests.

There are very few real christians left

and this is what we learn about those that feel they're inherently good.

So....assuming we can all return to the mundane tasks of preparing for the end of the world due to none interventionist deites...is it expected to find an increasing volume of white track suits and silver nikes at local garage sales?

I have always found it incredibly hard to take seriously the doomsday prophets, they just keep getting it wrong...yet a very microscopic part of me admires their resolute refusal to accept they are 5 beers short of a six pack, despite all the evidence that indicates they are.

Perhaps those who did believe woke up and thought...

"Well this is far less impressive than I had been led to believe....and it seems based on the view from my 'heavenly' window over the 'heavenly' street (which God seems to have made identical to my old street on earth, doubtless to make the move a gentle on) that the criteria for being chosen was much broader than I thought it was going to be"

Ahhh the disappointment of mediocre angels in average heaven, reminds me of a Portuguese bar in Mutare on the border of Zimbabwe and Mozambique (ca 1984) where the expensive Portuguese beers although in bottles appeared to have organisms (dead) in them that one would not expect to find in a commercially produced product

...it was possible to convince yourself that it was a great place full of lovely souls but you really needed to be three sheets to the wind before you walked in to pull that bit of self deception off.

The church of the perpetual inebriate is probably more fitting for such visionaries as Harold Camping

Or, let's ask... Why don't all church members give their wealth to the poor?

Better yet... Grover. How often do you give to the poor?
 
"It has been written that 'The Poor will be with us always' And why is this? Since the dawn of man humanity has worked to change the plight of the poor and yet the poor continue to become poorer.

Only the poor who have been released from the bondage of others, circumstance or ignorance have ever been successfully helped. Thus we must ask, were they truly poor, or merely inhibited in their ability to prosper?

The truly poor, the perpetual poor, are near impossible to free for they are are self-enslaved, oppressed by their own arrogance and unwillingness to change. They choose to be poor. They do not seek empowerment rather enablement.

It is these who shall be with us always, a blight on the skin of humanity. It is these for whom freedom is near impossible; not because their circumstances are irreversible rather because they do not want to be free.

So seek not to feed the poor. Rather seek to FREE the poor for the man that is willing to learn how to fish shall indeed be free."

Francois DuBois

Harold Camping has said he did the math wrong or something to that effect. May 21st was the "spiritual" end where those that are good are identified. Oct 21st is when the end draws nigh. So, you're already in and there's nothing you can do if you're not.

I wonder what Harold's math teacher is saying?
