    Every time the rapture doesn’t happen they seem more convinced that it will happen in the future.

    I really should get into the property market around the time the next rapture announcement comes out because surely they’ll be selling all their houses off right. If you timed it right you could go on a really expensive holiday and save money by not paying for a return flight.

      I think I saw someone selling “rapture insurance” a while a go. Iirc they pay a one time fee to get on a registry and they would go around and collect pets that didn’t get raptured with their owners.

      They are more convinced. “When prophecy fails” was first published in 1956, it’s well documented.
