It's rapture day
As a godless, liberal lesbian I am trying to figure out what the downside is for those of us who will be left behind. I mean seriously, all of the moralistic,annoying shrink government until it's so small it will fit into my uterus anti working & middle class folks will be gone. Congress will finally be able to get some work done.
You know Roll back the tax breaks for oil companies and folks making more than 250K per year, universal health care for all, equal rights including marriage rights for all; sounds like a paradise to me.
Another thought, what happens if those who are convinced they are going to be ratpured up and are not, but instead the lesbian couple living next store is raptured? How does one explain that to the friends & family. Think about it, if the godless lesbian couple next door, volunteers their time to the local food bank or youth at risk, or the library or anything and you only go to church on Sunday, then judge everyone else who does not have your values who is more worthy?
I'm just wondering.
I know I'm not going anywhere so I can't wait to see what happens to all those folks who are so sure this is going to happen and it doesn't. Maybe they will rethink their position, but I doubt it because those to grasp onto beliefs with no basis in fact they never change their minds, but oh well. It's gonna be a fun few days.
And if I'm wrong does this mean I have to go to work on Monday? If my landlord is raptured do I still have to pay my rent?

Welcome
Welcome to my new blog. I'm not really sure what shape this will take as the days, and months progress. We are now at the beginning of a new Presidential Election Cycle. It feels as if the last one just ended, but such is the attention span of the DC based media.
Some background on me, I am a liberal, lesbian, agnostic living in Utah. I currently work in the call center of a major credit card company, for less than half of what I used to make as a Software Quality Assurance Analyst. Needless to say, it is not what I expected to be doing as I approached my fiftieth birthday. I was unemployed for twenty months from March 2008-October 2009; it was one of the most difficult times of my life. I will occasionally post on the toll unemployment had on this individual.
Expect alot of politics, much commentary and lots of fact checking of the mainstream media.
That's it for now, hope you come back often and enjoy what you read here. My hope is not that everyone love me, but that anyone who visits leaves if not more well informed at least looking at things from a different perspective and seeing the world we live in a little more broadly.
thanks for your time
