here's the problem. the rapture is wherein the good folk get called up before all the real unpleasantness correct? How do we know it didn't happen? May you all are just a bunch of loser sinners?

Regardless, this sounds like a job for Dachshundskrieg. Now that the wiener legions are fully enabled in their CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS, only one more key needs to be unlocked for the coming of Dachhundskrieg, the Wiener Time.

There was a hipster rapture, but it was pretty obscure, you wouldn't have have heard of anyone Taken Up.

So, presumably - rather than the end of the world, we'll actually get liberated by advanced enlightened humans who give out free guitars to all and end repression?

Well, at least it's better than getting torn apart by a large planet or killed by 4 nutjobs on horses...

Serious question.

I read that some people sold all their wordly possessions and that, thinking that they were off to see the Spirit In The Sky....

Isn't this particular nutjob looking at one hell of a class action?

It's practically a cult, so I doubt those who lost their life savings are going to try to put together a class action law suit.

Besides, it's been updated, we've got 5 more months before the end of thr world.

If you are gonna believe that the end of the world is coming just because he says it is frankly you don't deserve your money back.
And, if they are that gullible they probably would have given it all to a Nigerian bank manager to 'invest'

It's just sad that people believe enough to sell all their worldly possessions, but apparently not enough to crack open the Bible and do a little of that there book-readin'.

October 21st is unfortunately a Friday =(

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
