Good News! You are still alive, the rapture didn't come and earth is still intact.
The bad news is that you still need to pay that loan, you still need to go to work on Monday and yes, the LA Lakers is still eliminated from the NBA Western Conference.
I now pity those who followed Camping blindly in believing that the world would end on May 21st. Some have really put their life savings on that singular belief made by a false prophet. But I am even more ashamed that our local media made a big fuzz out of it (with ABS-CBN even presenting a special report on it.) Yes it does attract attention but for crying out loud what makes them now different from the outrageous tabloid papers?
I am no bible scholar but I believe that no one knows when the end of the world would be. My idea of a rapture is ones own death. That is the time that you meet God. And I think we missed the whole point of the rapture, it is to prepare yourself for the time you meet God and face your final judgement. Lesson learned: Do good in everything that you do in your daily life for no one knows the time nor place when you would have your own personal rapture.
Now excuse me as I play REM's song It's the end of the world as we know it. Yup and I feel fine.
