Rapture Lite

Decades back, when I was doing time in college, and long before I became a Catholic, I was in a gospel singing group. Those were good times: although I wasn't quite on the same page as many of the other folks, theologically.

Then, as now, End Times were nigh. There were signs and portents, and all that. During one rehearsal, when the topic came up again, I suggested that maybe the Rapture had already happened.

And we were the ones left.

My fellow-singers didn't like that too much.

Maybe I shouldn't have made that crack. I don't know.

What brought that reminiscence to mind was the Judgment Day prediction in the news. I've written about that before - and may again, tomorrow. My post was mostly serious - but there is a funny side to the latest Rapture prediction.

I linked to drawntocatholicism's post a few hours ago - but it's worth doing again. Linking, that is. In my opinion.

Humor? In a religious blog?! I've been over that before. (March 15, 2011)
