No Rapture Story Here

This story from the New Republic basically sums up how I feel about the whole subject.

Talk about your straw men and your fish in a barrel...

On a different note, I found out yesterday that a high school classmate and an old coworker each passed away very suddenly, under totally different circumstances, within a few hours of each other. I found out through Facebook, which was jarring and dislocating in its own way.

Prayers for Ed Murratti and Elizabeth Christian Parker, and for their friends and family.
