          No, the rapture will flow around the world so that it hits everywhere at the same local time. God's [note the use of an apostrophe] like that, being omnipotent he knows that the numpties can't handle the concept of different time zones so to make it easier for them He'll destroy the world in 24 separate events. Luckily as an omnipresent entity, He can prevent anyone from outside the current target zone from knowing what's happening so that everyone will be hit at 6pm tomorrow irrespective of where they live.

              Nope. It starts at 6pm local time. Yup, the "prophet" has said it will start at 6pm at the International Date Line and proceed west, with one whole time zone being raptured every hour. Apparently it is a lot of work to lift the faithful bodily into Heaven and God needs to work on a schedule.

                  That brings up an interesting point. Does judgement day happen immediately at midnight GMT (a line of longitude established by man), or is it one of the other timezones that's used by god to determine the exact time that judgement day begins?

                    I object to this insinuation that we go out and get trashed every Friday. There's six other days worth of beer being ignored. :-D
