I remember a few years ago while channel surfing there was a show with two old guys talking about the rapture and how you will disappear with Jesus. They said "if you are an airline pilot and the rapture comes, the fate of the passengers are in God's hands", do not worry about it." :eek:

From now on I'm making sure the person at the wheel is an atheist. :-p

I love how he's rationailzed that everyone will look 33 years old.
