#1 "The Bible declares that it was God's plan to save 200 million people out of all those that would ever live upon the earth."

Well, it's October 23rd and I'm still here, so I guess I'm one of them. Anybody else make it, or am I here by myself?

#2 You know in the old days, they stoned* false prophets.

That rocks not weed. However, given the reluctance of society today to engage in such acts, maybe mandatory heavy applications of the 'medical' stuff is called for.

#4 According to the Church of the SubGenius, the world ended on July 5th, 1998, at 7:00am, and has ended every year thereafter on July 5th, at 7:00am, or not.

That was when the sex goddesses from Planet X were supposed to pick up all the SubGeniuses and transport them away, as they watched the destruction of Earth on their goddesses wide screen TVs, according to their prophet, J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, a clip art illustration taken from the Dallas, Texas yellow pages in the 1970s.

Well, a myth is as good as a millennium.

#6 Not that I believe but, I've been told that the end of the world would not be a hollywood destruction. It would be the suddenly lifting of the blessed to heaven and the world would continue with continuing escalation of destruction and bad things giving the remaining people a chance to find Jesus before the very end.

If true our only sign today would be a number of missing people or the sudden death of holiest among us.

I have to say any prophesy that says things will get worse and worse before the end seem especially scary this election year.

#9 A long time ago I read of an interesting conversation between two small boys, who had heard a brief description of the "rapture", with few details.

The first boy described the event as "All the good people going to heaven and getting ice cream and stuff, and all the bad people staying here and getting spankings."

To which the second boy responded like a true skeptic, "What if it's the other way around?"

#10 Seriously, no one knows the hour or the day.

And it is certainly NOT our place to say who is a broken hnau (i.e. no capacity to repent) and who is not.

#12 The world ended for Qadaffy on Thursday. A sitcom back in 1987 predicted he would die in the year 2011.

Really? Do you recall which one? That's kinda cool.

According to the Church of the SubGenius, the world ended on July 5th, 1998

Right before I took the bar exam. Awright! Sweet!

Except, I passed. And the world has gotten worse every day since. And . . . oh man. Shit.
