Apparently a number of American Evangelicals think the Rapture will
happen this week!*

Although who believes in such a ridiculous made-up mythology like that
when you have the factual Truth of The Number to believe in instead, I
just don't know. ;-)

But who knows... if Epic doesn't give us a free game on Thursday, then
maybe it *is* the end of the world!

I wonder what video-game platform (PC, XBox, whatever) they use in
Heaven?

It's starting to get a bit ridiculous..

There is ALWAYS some movement about the world ending.

Often promulgated by the same groups, who take no shame in predicting
the next End Of The World after the previous one fails to appear. "The
world will end on May 2nd." "Ooops, our calculations were wrong. It
will end on May 12th." "Ooops, sorry, I guess, um... maybe June 3rd?"

And the believers keep believing despite all the evidence to the
contrary.

But I guess it's easier to hope for the end of the world than deal
with your own problems.

Also, the world will end on the May 2nd.
