I predict 6 more weeks of...stupidity

The irony is that this [some wingnut using lines from Ezekiel and Danial as proof the rapture is coming] is all the same "thought" process used by those who claim that Nostradamus was a prophet, something most Christians would scoff at as superstition if not witchcraft. In both cases, references to one thing are reinterpreted over and over again by people over the centuries in order to make them fit what is going on at the time.
As for that rapture thing, sometimes I think it can't get here soon enough. If even half the people who think they're going to be whisked away to heaven actually are, the world will become a far less annoying place.
