Here\u2019s the thing. Tomorrow is the Rapture<\/a>, but as Tim LaHaye\u2019s scholarly exegesis proves (?!), Catholics are going to be \u201cleft behind.\u201d<\/a> Guess what else? It\u2019s a rolling rapture, see, because God honors our man-made time zones. Didn\u2019t know that, didja!<\/p>\n

I betcha also didn\u2019t know that the Zombie Apocalypse comes right on the heels of the Rapture. Hmm? That\u2019s theology I\u2019m makin\u2019 up as I go. So pay attention, because the rapture and zombies go together like peas & carrots.
