Good GAWD, the Rapture Index has crept up to 181!

http://www.raptureready.com/rap2.html

This is only 7 points from the all time high of 188 set on Feb 18 2013. Reading the individual categories there is this shocker:

33 Beast Government

Pinellas County, Fla., students are paying for lunch by waving one hand over a palm scanner.


I was completely unaware of this development. I am shocked that this is not front page news, given the serious disruptions which occur in the event of the Rapture.

And if I thought the rapture was imminent, the decision to fasten my seat belt might, um, be painful, if I was chosen to ascend. On the other hand, it would be quite beneficial if the pilot of the airplane I was in, or the driver of the car i was in, was leaving without me. The website should make it clear as to which folks should strap themselves in.

Is noted as "drug abuse" and thought of as a sign of the rapture the bias and misguidedness of this index is clear.

Cannabis has a much lesser punishment. And i really don't get your quote because that's all of them? Except a few weirdos and some we've created.

14. I really don't get this, but isn't 181 the lowest "high" in years?

Also, the 2015 low is the lowest "low" in years.

I had to be fingerprinted at Universal Studios. Do you think they know about that?

I totally forgot about the rapture index. I used to check this out every morning and laugh at the preposterous reasons used to increase the index. Palm scanner is up there. Gotta watch out for that "mark of the beast"
