The world needs another thought on May 21's Rapture like a baseball needs an air valve.
Half the news agencies on the planet have probably done some kind of lead or another on Harold Camping's prediction not coming true today. Wire services rightly quote believers and non alike; either this strengthened the faithful or it didn't, and everyone else had a good laugh or two at Preacher's expense.
My thought is this: What if Harold Camping was right?
What if the Rapture arrived, and the only people who went were 1,459 homeless living under bridges in 23 countries and the residents of an island somewhere in the Palk Strait?
Who would know? Harold wouldn't--he'd be just like he is now, sitting and pondering things in general.
The only way, as I understand the Rapture mechanisms, is to watch for what happens AFTER the Rapture--when everything's supposed to slide into a long decline called Tribulation.
Well, damn.
I think you could define humanity's entire existence as a Tribulation.
Where's my Mayan calendar?
