Whether this belongs in religion or humour, I'll leave it up to you.
Over on the Richard Dawkins forums someone found this:
(Have to be registered and logged on to RR to see the actual post)
Praise Jesus! I was visiting a Chrisitian bookstore this afternoon, when all of a sudden I heard it! I heard the mighty trumpet of Jesus, blowing loud and hard, calling all Christians home. It was as if I had been struck by lightning! I dropped the book I was perusing, stood stock still with my arms pointed skyward and said "YES LORD!". The shopkeep and the two other people in the shop looked at me as if I was insane. Turns out they knew something I didn't. The 1:45 fright train crosses the road every day at that time, and usually blows it's whistle when it's going through the intersection. I was sooo embarassed! But hey, at least I know I'll be ready when the real one comes! I'd rather be a bit embarrassed than unsaved!!
Praise HIM!!!!!!!!! |

| That's pretty funny! |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

I thought you were going to give a link to this video, which was an actual Rapture prank. The really messed up part? This was a "Christian" prank show modeled on MTV's Punk'd, and they thought it would be funny to convince one of their brain-washed own that the Rapture had occurred and that she was "left behind." Nothing like convincing someone the world has ended and all of their loved ones are gone! Ha-ha-ha!

I thought I did give a link to that same video: Did it not show up? It does when I click on the link.
Anyway, for some related hilarity, Rapture Ready "Left Behind" fan fiction.

Ah, sorry. I didn't even follow the link. I just assumed it pointed to the bit you quoted from "Rapture Ready."
mea maxima culpa

Ah yeah, it's my fault too: the link from the Richard Dawkins forum also is only visible to those who are registered and logged on, so I never even bothered to post it. I'll do so now in case any of you want to sign on and see it.
The Rapture Ready link that the RD poster linked to (which you can't see without being registered there) is: http://www.rr-bb.com/showthread.php?t=72090
