John and E are privy to my Facebook page. It's like this thread was started just to get my attention or something! :cheers:
About this weekend... seriously, if it doesn't happen, I'm going to be disappointed. Not that I'm all that prepared, but I'm the mutha funkin MacGuyver at improv on the fly in a pinch and rarely get to put that to the test.
For those who aren't aware... Cliffs: Dude says according to bible math, the rapture begins this Saturday at 6pm. (WHAT F'N TIME ZONE, DIPSHYT?!?!? THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!) According to rapture theory n junk, the chosen get instantly whisked up to heaven while the rest are left on earth to suffer until the end - which, of course, is October 21, right before Halloween, making my own personal hell the inability to do the really really killer thing I had planned for trick-or-treat this year. But I digress.... According to rapture theory, it is said that "all those who have died will rise to once again walk the earth". So BOOM - right there - zombie apocalypse.
Seeing as I'm atheist and technically don't believe any of this whatsoever, I still like the idea because it seems like something different from my usual day. Yup... I'm actually EXCITED for this weekend because if this nutter is right, a few things are going to happen:
1. My wife goes directly to heaven. She's a good soul, and prepared, and I have no doubt she'll be taken. For that matter, my daughter, too. I'll miss them both, but eh... for 6 months of hell on earth, I can finally have some peace in the house.
2. I FINALLY get to shoot people. FINALLY.
3. Though I don't have any religious beliefs, I'm always open to be proven wrong. I seek enlightenment, but it won't be done easily.
4. Saturday night, my plans include a glass of Don Q and watching the new episode of Dr. Who. That's it. I got nuthin else. So a little rapture might just be nice for a change of pace. I live a very dull life... pun intended!
BIG question is this, folks... In all we "know" of zombies, they are reanimated corpses. Sometimes it is a virus (T-virus, Resident Evil, or biotech like 28 Days Later). Sometimes it is unknown or speculated due to solar flares, moon, meteorite (Typical Living Dead scenarios). In some instances, they go cheesy and seek out braaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiinnnzzz... (living deads), while in most others, a good ol' hunk o' butt will do (Shaun o' Dead, Dawn Remake, et al). Sometimes slow, sometimes fast. But here's the good question to consider...
Since the "Rapture Zombie Apocalypse" is supposed to be brought on by "God's Will", then wouldnt' that mean that they really aren't here for anything at all? I didn't read anything about them coming to eat brains, bite my azz, or even just to search out a good slushie and a corndog. They're just to "walk the earth". Do we kill 'em? Can we become them if we die? Will they kill us? Would it just be the bodies-sans-souls of our dead relatives and ancestors - ALL of them - just coming back to walk around like a gigantic mall on Sunday mornings???
THIS is what I wanna know. Discuss...
