If you are reading this, then you are obviously one of the earth-bound worms deemed unworthy of early arrival at the gates of heaven, remaining corporeal to face the worldly tribulations to come. Or maybe Harold Camping was just wrong. At any rate, don't feel too badly- I'm right here with you. Which is fine; I wasn't quite ready to go yet.
Don't get me wrong.... I would not stoop to disrespect another's beliefs (not me, nah!). In truth, I know quite a few avowed Christians who never gave a second thought to yesterday's scheduled preternatural events. And I realize that there are many who would equate mere belief in God (Allah, Yaweh, Gaia, etc.) as acceptance of a make-believe playmate for grown-ups, and on par with faith in the rapture. That's fine for them, as long as they have something to believe in, even if it is only self-sufficiency.
As for myself, I do not claim insider knowledge of such things. An acknowledged agnostic, I claim that no measurable proof exists of a Higher Power. I am speaking here of hard, cold scientific proof, for I do actually believe in a loving and forgiving something-or-other.... I just don't claim to understand it. Nor do I trust the ones who want to bludgeon me with their beliefs, pronouncing that they do, in fact, know and understand God. Pilfilarkey, I say! But if your God gets you by, good on ya! Just don't sic him on me. I can't afford to keep more than I already have. (BTW, thanks, HP, for everything you've done for me lately, not to mention calling off the Rapture!)
and the next thing we have to worry about........
