It’s Rapture’s Eve. Are YOU Rapture Ready?
I’ve avoided thus far talking about this particular nonsense, so as not to give it any credence, and so as to scrub away some of my image of being an arrogant, know-it-all asshole who simply wants to point and laugh at the ignorant theists who believe this nonsense. But with the din of the crowd …

Hawking: Imagine there’s no heaven, it’s easy if you try.
