The Rapture

Let us consider the Rapture Index. 

This is a real thing prepared by serious Biblical people.

 

 If it makes you laugh, you have not gotten the memo. 

 

You probably have not read any of the 12 volumes of the "Left Behind" series, the best-selling books in America today. 

 

Those Left Behind are those who did not experience the Rapture, which is an instant in time when all the truly holy people are taken directly to heaven, leaving their clothes in small neat piles behind them. 

 

The rest of the ungodly stubborn losers are left to deal with natural disasters and wars and the armies of the Antichrist, after which they die in various colorful ways while the ranks of the saved watch with compassion.

 

The Rapture Index, as of this writing, stands at 153.

 

 Anything over 145 is labeled by the Rapture Actuaries as "Fasten your seat belts." In other words: 

 

Repent for the End Is Near.

  "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Acts 16:30
