I find it fascinating that God created the Earth only to pollute it to the point of inhabitability. To the point people genuinely want out of this life.
Which is it? Is the Christian (Islam, etc.) idea of morality flawed? Or is it the other way? Is our Earth so morally corrupt that only a handful of the chosen still remain? I believe it is this question that leads some true believers to think that the end times are nigh. They will all be sadly disappointed, I'm afraid.
I say we nail it down (no pun intended). If the rapture hasn't occured by midnight Dec. 31st, 2006, it ain't happening. Or better yet. If Dubya makes it out of office in '09 and we're all still alive, then there is no God in the sky. I think that's the fairest bet of all. The Christians keep praying for armageddon and all us heathens will continue to laugh at you. Maybe we'll all end up in Hell, who knows. But I bet a lot of cool people will be burning down there with me.
