Rapture day came and went. No word from the crazy preacher yet who isn't making any public speeches or even answering his door. As the day went on and nothing "earth shattering" was going on, some of the "believers" tried to reassure each other of their "faith." Whatever that means. Faith in what? In this crazy preacher's calculator and numerology? Faith that the world will end? Or as one truck driver who quit working last week put it...
-
"I was hoping for it because I think heaven would be a lot better than this earth."
-
Hmmm... Maybe 72 virgins waiting for him? No...wait, wrong religion. But the thought process is the same. Perhaps his life is so miserable here that faith in something...even the end of the world, is better than going back to day to day life.
-
Personally I feel that the millions of dollars they spent on billboards and advertising all his nonsense could have been better spent helping the poor and attending to pressing needs here and now in this life. To make people here less miserable. Show a little love.
-
Maybe that is what I take from this side show. Wake up people. Appreciate the flowers...your loved ones...the beauty that you find here.
-
The rapture will take care of itself.
