I won't give you very much for it, though, maybe a penny or so on the dollar, and only if you own it free and clear. After all, if you think that the world will end in 13 days, then your house isn't worth all that much. And if you think it is worth anything more than a few percent of its appraised value, then obviously, at some level, you don't believe what you say you believe.
It's an interesting legal question, though: If you sell your home cheaply because you thought that the world is going to end and then, on May 22nd, the buyer is standing on the front porch, telling you to get out because you did sell your house, how do you back out of the deal? A smart buyer will give you a "use and occupancy agreement" to allow you to stay until 7PM local time on the 21st (and immediately record the deed), but after that, you were supposed to be raptured up, or so you thought.
How would you get out of the deal? Would you argue that you had diminished capacity? After all, you thought that you were selling your house for above market value, for a house that is sure to be destroyed in an imminent apocalypse is worth nothing. Just because the apocalypse didn't begin according to your schedule isn't much of an excuse.
If you are unwilling to sell or give away all of your stuff, then on some level, aren't you conceding that this particular prophecy is bullshit? And if that is true, then aren't you just going to be stuck here to deal with the zombies like the rest of us heathens?

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Well, some good folks are stepping up to take care of the animals left behind. Love the fact they they are atheists.

Thank you both for the info and the link! It's a great idea and hadn't heard of it before today! I wonder if it's too late to sign up as a rescuer...?
ReplyDeleteAlthough, personally, I think if there is a "Rapture", animals are much more likely to be taken up and saved than the human race. They don't perpetuate evil upon each other for stupid reasons (or sometimes just for the hell of it), and if you look at human history or even just watch the evening news, you know we're certainly guilty of it.
You are a character!
