Babies From Dirt

The intarwebz are an amazing source of information. They’re also an amazing breeding ground for jabbering madmen. Mike sent me a link to this today. It’s a cached version of 2007rapture.com, which has been taken down for what should be obvious reasons.

It reminded me of the timecube.com guy, who has some truly excellent crazy going on. Here’s a sample:

The tone of the two are so similar (same caps lock, centered text, lack of paragraph breaks, and loud incoherence) that I wondered if they were in fact perpetrated by the same guy. I did a little looking, and they seem to be related only by their tenuous grip on reality.

Out of curiosity, I looked to see if 2008rapture.com existed–and it does. Here’s the kicker: it’s run by an entirely different set of crazy people and is even hocking a book.

Turns out these rapture jockey webmasters are all over the place, and none of them have bothered with a site redesign since 1997.

• RaptureAlert.com. Check out the flying saucer and the faithful flying into the sky.
• RaptureReady.com. A rapture readiness guide with the unintentionally funniest wallpaper I’ve ever seen.

These almost makes me wish I was a Christian. When Jesus returned, I’d be able to fucking fly.

Another good one: FixedEarth.com. Did you know that the Earth is stationary? I didn’t. Thank god this man and his Bible were able to set me straight.

(I’m really not trying to pick on Christians here. It just so happens there are a lot of complete whack jobs out there that have a Christian bent to their delusions.)

And finally, a combination governmental conspiracy site and tree stump grinding guide, ScrewedKenoshaStyle.com. This guy gets bonus points for actually being in jail right now.

If anyone knows of any equally insane sites, I’d love to hear about them in the comments.
