Rapturous Thinking 0

Greet the new rapturous day!

Calling CQ.

Calling CQ.

Isn’t there anybody there?

Anybody . . . . ?

If you were expecting to be raptured today and are reading this, you obviously are not worthy. Live with it.

Hey! What happened to all those annoying self-righteous?

Get your rapture relief here!

All seriousness aside, we were given the capacity for reason for a purpose.

Faith without reason is not faith.

It is fanaticism. It is Jonestown.

The Elmer Gantrys and the other End-of-the-World-Is-Nigh scammers–the false prophets who live by gulling the unreasoning and the vulnerable to sell the lectures, the radio shows, the books, the retreats, and the merchandise–will claim that there must be an error in their cosmic arithmetic, a sign that was misread, and, like a GPS gone screwy, will continue

recalculating, recalculating, recalculating . . .

all the while soliciting additional donations from their willing victims to pay for more and better recalculators while selling revised lectures, revised radio shows, revised books, revised retreats, and revised merchandise.

They will continue fleecing their followers and betraying trust with their con games, for, as L. Ron Hubbard knew, the best scam is a religion scam.
