8 Most Overused Rapture Jokes
Ok, if you haven’t heard the rumors yet, you have already been left behind. Social media spheres have been buzzing with activity in response to Harold Camping’s prediction that the end of the world is today, May 21st at 6pm. This wild prediction has brought out tweeters and facebookers from the woodwork. Folks who once thought a hashtag was a new marijuana pipe even started using the #rapture lingo in their efforts to make fun of the guy.
Making fun of rapture dude is just too easy. It’s like making fun of someone with a dirty word for a last name. After a while, it’s just lame.
So, did your jokes make the list? I know mine did 
Top 8 Overused Rapture Jokes:
- “Shoot, if I knew the rapture was coming I would have [fill in some self-destructive yet pleasurable activity here].
- “Hey, anyone want to go throw some clothes around town”
- Any reference, even subtle, to REM.
- “Can I outrun the end of the world by flying ahead of the time zone?”
- Look up where in the world 6pm has passed and tweet about it .
- Insinuating in any way that Harold Camping should read Matthew 24:36.
- Reference the “Left Behind” series (e.g. the first line in this post)
- Expect this one tomorrow: “I’m still here, are you?”
What other ones make the list?

Now some of those aren’t specific jokes: following the 6pm datelines/or Left Behind references, so there’s great room for creativity still. But of course I have probably done them all – well no, I did not do 1,3,4,6, and 8.
The time zone was fun last night, because I used it to learn about the places on the globe I was unfamiliar with like Caroline Island – the first place the sun reaches on the international date line. Or earthquake info in PNG.
This morning it seems Anita Baker’s rapture was trending ahead of REM on Twitter though.
add that as #9
Phil, great contribution. I wikipedia-ed my way to Caroline Island and am enraptured by its beauty and exotic mystique! Blessings friend.
