"In case of Rapture ..."

... this blog will no longer update."

See what I did there? Ehhhh. I know. I hate me too.

My new favorite web page is the Rapture Ready Webpage. This is not satire. That would be boring. Nor is it just for born-again or fundamentalist Christians. That would also be boring. No, what's really oddly touching and wonderful about this site is, well, let me just post the Site Synopsis:

I wanted to condense all of the information into an easy-to-read document that could be distributed to those who are left behind. If it has taken place, please photocopy and distribute this information to others. There are few books on the subject and the Internet will most likely shut down the day it happens from people desperately trying to understand what the rapture was. Also be aware that God will send strong delusion (II Thess 2:11) to those who rejected the Gospel before the rapture--just realize that the Christians who love Jesus are the ones who are gone--rely on nothing other than the Bible as the foundation for what you believe.

This guy has done all this work -- and seriously, this thing is huge, graduate dissertation huge -- to help us after he's taken off. When the Rapture comes, and we're freaking out, we can go to one place for the crash-course in Tribulation survival.

The screenwriter in me (and when oh when will he show up and finish this damn act ...) can't help but love this. In any number of post-apocalyptic movies, the rag-tag group of survivors finds the missile silo/military base/ancient com-pu-ter, fires it up, and out spits the technical explanation for the zombies/plague/dragons. In the Left Behind world, this site IS the second act plot point! How frikkin' cool is that!
