Ralph: Dum de dum dum, dum de dum dum.

Sam: Hey Ralph, look at all this stuff lying all over the sidewalk.

Ralph: Weird…clothes, shoes, socks, keys, wallets…some guy’s dental fillings…a glass eye… an artificial leg…somebody’s heart transplant flopping around in the street…a busted-open suitcase full of martial aids…what is going on here?

Sam: Maybe it’s the Rapture. I heard about it from some guys used to go to tent revival meetings, fall over backwards and start twitching and babbling. One guy's cowboy boots flew off.

Ralph: Yeah, speaking in tongues and “getting saved.” Hillbilly kitsch.

Sam: Look, a brand-new Lamborghini!

Ralph: Look at this in the front seat…a $2000 custom-made suit, a toupee with a pompadour…wallet, keys…damn, it is the Rapture, and now we get all this stuff!

Sam: What ID is in the wallet?

Ralph: Reverend Billy Joe Bob Hargis. Look what else is here…lots of condoms, a notebook with hundreds of call girls’ telephone numbers, some amyl nitrate, a copy of "Gay Boy Toys" magazine with the pages stuck together, a butt plug…I think he was sitting on it.

Sam: I remember reading about this guy’s house in the newspaper. Cost $20 million, a pool, helicopter, all the trimmings.

Ralph: Damn! And now it’s ours! Yahoo!

Sam: I heard he’s got a safe there with millions of dollars in contributions he never reported to the government.

Ralph: The sheeple sure are suckers.

Sam: Buncha brain-dead zombies who believe in Jesus-the-Terminator, who’s going to bring slaughter and destruction to the world because they think that’s how he’s going to save it. That’s Christian?

Ralph: I always remember Jesus putting down people like that. Ah, forget them, they’re all gone. Think of all the porn and guns and booze I’ve heard this riff-raff has in his mansion!

Sam: You know those Evangelical preachers. Either he’s got videos of himself and two 12-year-old blonde girls, or else it’s meth and man ass!

Ralph: This is great! God really did take those crap-for-brains Evangelicals, the ones trying to return us to the 7th Century. Thank you, God, even if you never did get me the pony and the bong I wanted for Christmas!

Sam: All fanatics of whatever religion, they’ve done nothing but impede progress. They all think they’re right and anyone who disagrees with them is evil. That’s a sure-fire recipe for disaster.

Ralph: Dibs on the driver’s seat! Vroom!


Reverend Billy Joe Bob Hargis: You call this the Rapture?

Satan: For those left behind it is. You want an ice cube?

You ever hear of "The Great Disappointment"?

It's a rather funny title coined by people selling everything they own, sitting on a hill for hours waiting for the rapture, and getting nothing for it but dirty pantaloons.

It relates to the Millerites. The day was October 22, 1844.

Yes, there were many disappointed Millerites. No heaven for them, no hell on earth for everybody else.

Their members were drawn from Presby, Baptist, and Campbellite churches though they tended to sever these ties as the Great Date approached.

They did regroup somewhat and there were a few recalculations of their predictions which led to a few more Lesser Disappointments. Most of the remaining Millerites then formed the Seventh Day Adventist churches. A smaller number engaged in apocalyptic bible study groups and a dissident faction of these bible students (armed with Scofield bibles) separated and formed Jehovah's Witnesses in the 1930's.

Later on, David Koresh gained fame from the Branch Davidians, a direct modern offshoot of the Millerite movement. Janet Reno murdered all of them on orders from Bill Xlinton.

As Robert Heinlein suggested in one of his novels, these wackos should be isolated from the rest of society.

The name of the book is 'Time Enough for Love.'

"Time Enough For Love" (one of two Heinlein novels that I actually bought in hard back) was a continuation of the story of Lazarus Long, begun in the novelette "Methuselah's Children, the oldest man alive (about 2500 at the time of the story). It was one of his longest novels. On balance I enjoyed it but by then he was becoming enamored of kinky sex and writing of it fairly openly for the day.

Yeah, old Bob Heinlein kind of lost me at the end of his writing career too for the same reason.

The first book by him I read was 'Rocket ship Galileo.'

As best I recall the first Heinlein novel I read was "Space Cadet" - which I got off of the Seattle Public Library's Book Mobile toward the end of 5th Grade. I think I still have it somewhere. We moved and it got packed by someone, my mom I think, and I never got a chance to return it. Maybe I should trek up to Seattle and drop in the drop box. That would blow their mind.

The first Science Fiction story I ever read was in 2nd Grade and it was Lester DelRay's "Rocket To Luna".

Lester DelRay

Didn't he write that nuclear meltdown short story thriller, Nerves? Great story. Like Asimov's Nightfall, a few of these really deserved to be made into movies and had a storyline that would have worked well as a movie. I used to have a large collection of old sci-fi. Never cared as much for the stuff from the Seventies onward other than a few like Frank Herbert.

I don't know about "Nerves" as it is not one I've read. I tend to agree that the quality of Science Fiction has gone down. The books have gotten longer but they are just longer not better. A few that I have enjoyed who wrote from the 70's on were Marion Zimmer Bradley (dead now sadly), Alan Dean Foster's "Flinx and Pip" stories are good Science Fiction as is "Ice Rigger" and its sequel "Mission to Moloukin". Brian Daley's Trilogy I forget all three titles but two of them are "Jinx on a Terran Inheritance" and the concluding novel "The White Ship Avatar". I'm very fussy about Science Fiction and have gotten to where a lot of it is just not my cup of tea any more. Battlefield Earth was a good read. The movie sucked. As did the movie of "Starship Troopers". Lucas is one of the few Hollywood types who has ever managed to actually get Science Fiction substantially right.

Travolta did that movie as his religious duty to Scientology, I think.

Troopers wasn't all that bad. They did two sequels. I saw the last one. It was awful beyond words. Truly a stinkeroo. Deserved to go straight to Mystery Science 3000, no theaters, no DVD release.

I googled and Lester Del Ray did write Nerves in 1956. He was quite good at writing suspense.
