Rapture prank: On Saturday, take some of your old clothes and shoes and leave sets of them arranged on sidewalks and lawns around town.

Why? Do they not allow clothes? I'm not too happy about meeting the big man in my birthday suit. It puts me at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to negotiating my entrance into eternal paradise. I'm going to need my very best game face for that talk.

Two days people!!! ... I'll Tweet as soon as I'm raptured.

Non sequitur... obviously Heaven will not have Twitter/FB/MySpace.

Oh right.  You'll forget us so fast.

Wife and I were walking across 45th St. and Broadway in NYC on Saturday night, and there is a guy in his 60's standing on the very crowded corner holding a sign above his head about the date in question. He was railing on about the Rapture at the top of his lungs. As we get to the curb, a guy walks up to him and says "Hey man, give me your watch since you won't be needing it next week".

I'd like to say hilarity ensued, but it was just uncomfortable to watch.

Seriously, though--  Somebody had better put these people on a Heaven's Gate Kool-Aid watch.

Torn about that sort of thing.

Thin the herd.

At the risk of dipping into an topic that is taboo on this site...   I think the issue comes back to literal interpretation versus figurative.    For some folks May 21st will be the rapture.   For most of us 'the final day' is undetermined.   

But then I still don't understand why 'Revelations' was included in the modern bible when other texts were omitted.
