Thank You Oakland Heretics, Blasphemers, & Apostates!

Thank goodness for some people with a little practicality remaining inside those cavernous, underutilized heads of theirs. Check this out right at the foot of the Oakland Bay Bridge before the world ends, and while you're at it keep heading towards the East Bay for what's supposed to be one of the largest Rapture Parties at Oakland's Masonic Center on Saturday and Sunday, which party/conference is expected to draw somewhere around 200 folks or so not afraid of spontaneous death, lakes of fire, asteroidal toppling, or five month torment at the hands of huge scorpions, unrolling carpets of earthquakes, which will feature (the conference, not the onset of doom) "keynote speeches from scholars, bloggers, student activists, former Christians, atheist feminists, and other crusaders." All the information you need is here.
