The End Is Here <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever performed a magic trick for your friends? Committed adultery? Worshipped an idol? Are you cowardly? How about filthy? Have you ever told a lie? If so, bad news. You are going to be ceaselessly tortured for all eternity.<\/p>\n

Good news, though, if you are a male Jewish virgin. A lucky 144,000 of you are going to get to live on the New Improved Earth with Yahweh. Sound fun? Did I mention the whole place is made out of gold? And has good water and 12 kinds of fruit all year round? Pretty sweet, huh? Plus, there will be no crying, no pain, and no death. And everybody gets a cool tattoo of Yahweh’s name on their forehead and worships Yahweh to his face!<\/p>\n

But guess what? No chicks. And no being sad about your loved ones being eternally roasted in flames while you bask in Yahweh’s glow. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Believe this or not, it’s a version of the End Times according to the New Testament, so I happen not to, but it’s taken from one of the funniest, edgiest, versions of scripture that I have ever seen — The Brick Testament<\/a>. Check out these images:<\/p>\n

\n <\/span>The combination of creativity, effort, and humor make this one of the most reverantly irreverant, or irreverantly reverant, works of biblical artistry I have ever seen.<\/p>\n
