You knew it was coming

No, not the swine flu. This:

Via some shitwidget at RaptureReady.com:

Worth keeping an eye on this. Luke 21:11 NIV Signs preceding the Second Coming-"great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven."

And so it begins... again.

Exactly how many apocalyptic nonstarters will it take before these geniuses arrive at a reasonable interpretation of daily events? Rooting for the end of the world must get tiring after the first 500 red alerts. The disappointment heap is probably growing pretty high by now. But I suppose that's the point of faith, whether it's Christians awaiting Armageddon or basement-dwelling nerds typing "STFU! The Star Wars TV show is gonna fuckin pwn ROTS!" on their self-created messageboards.

Even stranger though is another post I discovered on the same thread, which said, "Tracking the evolution of the virus is difficult." What's that now? Evolution? Surely they jest. I guess creationism works fine when everything's peachy, but once a not-so-intelligently-designed threat appears on the horizon, they beseech the white coats over at Big Bad Science, Inc. to explain it.

Who knows? Maybe the swine flu is the Rapture. With outbreaks appearing in predominantly Catholic areas, perhaps this tells us something. Namely that pigs are angels and hand sanitizers are the devil.
