<\/a><\/div>\nLike a champion athelete that should retire when they are on top, I probably should have quit when I was ahead when it comes to the most recent Rapture scare. But the thing is, this isn\u2019t the first prediction of the end of the world and it won\u2019t be the last. <\/p>\n
The Bible may not guarantee it, but I will. And we get to do this all over again in 2012 too? Sheesh!\u00a0But wait a second; the Bible does<\/i> guarantee something: there is no knowing when the end will come, so stop with the guessing already. So, you see, I\u2019m still going to have some fun with this event while hopefully spreading the Truth with Charity (see above links, por favor<\/i>). Oh, and before we get any further, the Catholic Church (the one founded by the Just Judge Himself) has stated unequivocally that what Christ and the Disciples said about all the end of the world stuff is absolutely and unchangeably true. Catholics believe in the end of the world. It will happen once, and for all. But not on the time-table of any charlatan who thinks he can decipher the mind of God the Father. Even the Son didn\u2019t go there. So that idea is most assuredly laugh-out-loud funny.<\/p>\n So let\u2019s get to some of the music that my friends and I thought of while waiting for this most recent bout of end-times silliness (see you again next year) to pass. First up, the best pop song I can think of that makes light of Apocalypse now!<\/p>\n It\u2019s the End of the World, As We Know It (And I Feel Fine),<\/b> R.E.M.<\/i> No set up for this is needed, right? I felt fine, how about you? I didn\u2019t even break out my stash of spare bricks for the post-Rapture looting I invited everyone to attend. Yep, I was that confident that God wouldn\u2019t satisfy the pride of a huckster by showing up on the schedule (say that the British way, for effect) of a mere mortal.<\/p>\n
<\/a>
Not only does Christ the LORD state this clearly (see Photoshopped billboard above) once, but He does so repeatedly. Here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>. For good measure, the Apostles Peter and Paul do so as well, here<\/a> and here,<\/a> respectively. And did I mention Christ said it again here?<\/a> Practically everywhere throughout the New Testament! Sorry to engage in Shock and Awe<\/i>\u00a0scripture tactics but beware the Catholic who reads his Bible regularly.<\/p>\n
