The internet went ablaze today with news that an unemployed woman from Colorado, Marie Exley, had purchased a series of billboard ads to harken what she believes is the date Jesus will return to earth: May 21, 2011
It was also recently reported that uber-Catholic rock superstars U2 will reschedule a show they had to cancel this spring. The reschedule date: May 21, 2011. In Denver, Colorado.
Coincidence?
U2 singer, philanthropist, and horribly unskilled investor Bono suffered a major back injury during rehearsal this May, and was forced to cancel a string of tour dates.
Messiah, savior, and up to this point horribly unskilled resurrector Jesus Christ suffered a major crucifixion just over 2,000 years ago, and fans the world over (including Bono) have been singing his praises, and some eagerly awaiting his return (Marie Exley, George W. Bush).
Might it be that the Armageddon will come as the arpeggiated guitar opening of “Where The Streets Have No Name” rain down on all of us, and Bono absolves us all and delivers us from evil?
I’ve always qualified as an agnostic at best—more like an atheist—but if the end goes down like that, the last thing you’ll hear me shout, as Larry and Adam’s bass and drums drive into the chorus, is “son of a bitch—I called it!”
