Poor judgment (and language) about Judgment Day

[Tom Zurinskas]

The rapture!  Let's get it over with.

For instance the apostles creed says that Jesus ...ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead...

Which means that the dead are still waiting, over 2,000 years since Jesus.  I don't want to wait that long for heaven.  But then again if I were going to hell, let's hold it off for a while.
