My Amex bill is due on the 21st.

Should I pay it?

1. Only if you are not a member of the cult saying the world is ending.

If you are a member of that cult, you should not pay your bills. You should go to the nearest bar and party hardy until the end of the world.

2. I think you should pray on it....

Since you're in the Religion/Theology forum.

:rofl:

4. I did, but I was on hold for a long time.

That's why I came here.

5. Well, I checked, but all I got was a voice mail prompt.

Guess God's out for the afternoon.

3. So I was wondering why this was in R/T. Then I noticed the date.

The way I understand today's theology, the AmEx execus will be raptured, as evidenced by their good fortune. God has smiled on them here on earth and deemed them worthy. The drudges who do the bill collecting will still be here, as evidenced by the fact that they're just skinning by, so I'd guess you had better pay it.

What are we gonna do when all that money gets raptured, I wonder.

7. Thought it was easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle

than for a rich man to go to heaven and what not. :shrug:

9. Then explain the parable of the talents.

I see that Camping thinks that prosperity gospel is heresy, so it will be interesting to see who gets raptured later this month. Gonna be some mighty disappointed people, I predict.

8. So that's what that whole poor shall inherit the Earth thing means

I'm assuming then that my checking account, 401k and the equity in my house will be raptured too. And my Sony stock, which I believe is rapturing itself at this very moment.


Just checked Zillow...it appears the equity was pre-raptured.

6. Well, if Amex doesn't abide by the Biblical rules on usury and loan forgiveness...

...my guess is they'll be here with you on the 22nd.

10. Safest bet is to pay it.

It's unlikely that they'll be able to process your payment before the world ends, but in case they do, you're still covered.
