Oh, those religious fanatics!
How hilarious is this?
From “News of the Weird” by Chuck Shepherd as it appeared in the July 9 Star Trib
“You’ve been Left Behind.”
LLC has begun offering an e-mail service to Christians who are preparing for the Rapture (in which all “true” Christians ascend to heaven to meet the Lord). Since the Rapture may commence suddenly, those chosen may have to depart without saying goodbye to their less worthy friends and besides will leave their property behind during the ensuing seven years before Armageddon.
That reminds me of a story that I remember either a scholar or teacher relating to use at our MNHS summer seminar. Apparently, their aunt woke, who believed herself to be one of the “true” Christians, one morning to find her husband mysteriously absent from bed. She looked out and saw that the car was still out front (I can’t remember where he actually was - I seem to recall him forgetting to tell his wife that his buddies were picking him up for a fishing excursion). She thought, “Well, this can’t be the Rapture because there is no way he’d make it and I’d get left behind.”
That’s funny!
