Nawww Perry, you’ve got it wrong. The rapture is just around the corner, so it doesn’t matter anyway. Go ahead and run your SUV up and down the freeway all day long. I’m sure the Easter Islanders were counting on the return of their ancestors to rescue them as they cut down the last of their trees back in the 17th century.
Growing up as a Baptist in Texas back in the 70s and 80s, it seemed that the rapture was always just a few days away. I asked my mom recently what church in Texas was like back in the ’40s, and she reported that, yes, back then, the rapture was imminent as well. After all you had wars, famines, droughts, children disobeying their parents, all of the signs were there.
