What will be the prevailing post-Rapture excuse?

[brooklynite]

Only a couple of hours left to think up a good answer...

[The Straight Story]

1. God saw us spreading the message, stopped the rapture, giving us more time to save more souls

And to get elected to run a puritan nanny state to save people from themselves ;)

[Mz Pip]

2. My guess is that

he'll recalibrate and find some small "mistake" that threw the date off. Ooopsie!

[Veronica.Franco]

3. LOL!

when we were kids our parents took us to the beach on whacko religion day so we'd have a front row seat!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

4. Are there people watching him to make sure he isn't raptured on a plane to Tahiti?

[Kievan Rus]

5. Camping will say he did the math wrong -- he said the same thing after his 1994 failed prediction

[lumberjack_jeff]

6. other: Chrisitians are insufficiently zealous. Need more hate.

"God has forsaken us."

[Johonny]

7. you just didn't donate enough money

[polly7]

8. psych! n/t

[Keith Bee]

9. There'll be no excuses.....

...just recalculations

[XanaDUer]

10. Other: God is testing our faith in Him.

11. We prayed it away, give us money

We are "in with God," so we were able to pray it away. Give us money.

[sakabatou]

15. +1

[TimLighter]

12. Not enough media exposure

except for DU you would hardly even know about it. The few outlets that have mentioned it are treating as the insignificant oddity that it is.

[brooklynite]

14. I wouldn't say that...

[KansDem]

13. "Woodstock Syndrome?"

That's what they're using for pedophile priests...:shrug:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

16. God's agent called the gig off because of the slump in ticket prices caused by scalpers.

Not to mention the shortage of beds in the heavenly asylums for enraptured.

[Arugula Latte]

17. Take your pick from these:

Personally, I think "Actually reason to send us more money" is the most likely.

[JNelson6563]

18. The saving of souls isn't complete

No doubt the lord will give them a little more time to complete the work of bringing souls to Jesus. Watch for increased proselytizing, more obnoxious than ever.
