7. If there is a rapture...that statement you made...
Edited on Sat May-21-11 12:42 AM by CoffeeCat
...pretty much ensures that you will be "left behind" and forced to endure the tribulation.

Oh well. Me too.

We'll fight the locust swarms together!

And I laughed at it, so I lost my ticket, too.

6. Global Warming is bringing more earthquakes and more severe earthquakes ...
Edited on Sat May-21-11 12:42 AM by defendandprotect
but that has nothing to do with any thing but capitalism's destruction of nature --

its exploitation of all of nature, natural resources, animal life -- air, water, oceans --

and humanity -- !! (That's all!)

And, earthquakes also generate more volcanic activity!!



:nuke:

Someone call the Solomon Islands and see if anyone answers the phone.

24. Uhm, unfortunately Glacier melting does --
not only does it increase pressures on tectonic plates --

but the displaced water does as well --


Keep in mind, the Mayor of Fukushima wanted to close down the nuclear plants in his

town because of their age -- but also because of the increasing seismic activity.

The plants were only built to withstand earthquakes of 7.0 --

Last one was a 9 -- with more than 350 aftershocks, still at high numbers.

26. Um, I spoke to God and She told me plans are for Bachmann and Palin to
be 'reverse raptured.' Transmission was full of static so I didn't get all the details, but something about 'descending' rather than 'ascending.' :)

or so says Garrison Keillor (Prairie Home Companion).
