THE RAPTURE
So, the rapture didn't happen. Well shucks. I was counting on a lot of things so that I would be in hell. Which would be better than doing my HW. I just wonder how those people who were so invested in the rapture happening feel now? I read this story in the NY Times about this family who's parents honestly believed in it. They didn't plan for anything, didn't keep track of how their lives were going, all because they really thought the rapture would happen. I have never been so invested in something that it might be possible for it to collapse like that, so I have no connection to how they might feel. This essential part of their belief system has been proven wrong, shown that, to the best of their abilities, they were wrong about it. I doubt I will ever have the chance to talk to someone about it, so I will just have to keep on wondering.
