Saw a cartoon showing a couple of guys dressed as the Mayans might
have dressed. One has a hammer and chisel and is making their
calendar stone. He says something to the effect of, "I don't have any
more room. People are going to get worried when the calendar expires."

Take out a Rapture Option.

There's a future in Rapture Options!
Good luck EVER "bowing out" of being a troll.

Could be -- but only on a secondary market, not a primary.
What would it be worth to hold the Rapture Option on someone like Oral
Roberts' Stuff, for example?
Crap.. and I invested all my money in "I Survived The Mayan
Apocalypse" tshirts..
Curt
And I'd better find a nice Moslem couple to feed Rocky the Dachshund..
just in case.

You are a little dick bitch who feels like it is his civic duty as
a Usenet troll to place his nose firmly in the sphincters of those he
dislikes every time they post. They all own you, Jeffy.
Har, a poodle with his own dachsund, funy...
Do you suppose that there's a serious possibility that YOU will be raptured?
I'm thinking the theology of the thing mandates that you (and I) will be
among the left behinds.
Which is fine with me. YMMV.
peace and justice,
You guys are already a couple of left behinds.
You never know. I worry I'll get to heaven and find out that really
what matters was how nice you were to the neighborhood cats, or
something.
Curt
Well, Rocky's about a half a million years old. He's happy to bite dog
biscuits, but as far as aggressive, he can't be bothered.

I don't get it.
Curt
Or you might find Scratch there ahead of you, and come to realize
you'd have to spend Eternity with him.
Check outMark Twain's"Letters from the Earth" for what may be the best
description of "heaven".
Dunno. If you're in heaven, do you have to avoid talking religion or
politics anymore?
Curt
> If you're in heaven, do you have to avoid talking religion or

There are some who limit activity to harp-flanging and prize-sanging
for the purpose of Lowered Prizing.
As heavens go, doesn't sound terribly userful to me.
The CoJCoLDS offers a Much better deal. Check it out, when you get a
chance.
Actually, the Pastafarians have the best deal. Their heaven has a
stripper factory and a beer volcano.

I dreamt death came the other night
And Heaven's gate swung wide.
An angel with a halo bright
Ushered me inside.
And there! To my astonishment
Stood folks I'd judged and labeled
As quite unfit, of little worth,
And spiritually disabled.
Indignant words rose to my lips
But never were set free,
For every face showed stunned surprise
Not one expected me!

You might compare that with the number of lives lost on 9-11. Or the

It would have been cheaper in both lives and money to just suffer
another 9-11 every six or seven years.

The CoJCoLDS doesn't have Quite the same take on Heaven as do the more
fundy sorts of Xtian sects, does it?

(And fwiw, been doing some reading of various approaches to the

far too widespread:
* The Q'ran itself nowhere promises 72 virgins to martyrs. It's just
not in there.
* That comes from writings within the hadith -- the commentaries on
the Q'ran that comprise a collection of quite literally thousands of
volumes. Judaism and Xtianity also have a similar set of commentaries
as well.
* That hadithic interpretation itself may well be the result of a
mistranslation -- a misplacing of the dots that are so critical in
several ancient forms of written Arabic -- such that the promise is
Not 72 virgins, but rather the promise of cool grapes!
* Which may make some folks doubt it, but it turns out that there's a
Syrian Orthodox set of religious images that provide precisely the
same thing -- pictures of Xtian saints welcoming sould into Heaven and
giving them grapes in the process.
* Which is not all that surprising from any Middle Eastern
superstition - grapes are dependent on sufficient water to thrive, and
that commodity is scarce in desert climes.
Interesting, huh?)
We now return you to the regular entertainment, already in progress.
Nope but the concept is still in our society and common enough to be
used in pretty much all the western world. I happened to know the
author of that poem long ago and she is LDS. However she prefers to
remain anonymous so I'll respect that desire.

Indeed, nope. The LDSers offer a Much better deal than do the Fundies.
>... but the concept is still in our society
Concepts -- plural, not singular. There are many different concepts
of a Heaven used for superstitious marketing purposes. Having each of
them be correct would be a Fascinating discussion of superstitious
relativism -- which is in itself considered a heresy by some
superstitions.
>...and common enough to be used in pretty much all the western world.
And the Eastern World as well, with the possible exception of the
Taoists and certain Buddhist sects.

As I said -- the LDS take on Heaven is different from the Xtian Fundy
types in many different ways. Y'all really Do make a better offer,
which is really good marketing!
