Student: 'Professor, what happens at the Rapture?'
Liberal Professor: 'Well, at the Rapture you walk up to your window, look outside, see people floating up into the sky, and then you should say to yourself, "Well, I'll be damned!"'

You’re St. Melito of Sardis! You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |

Don't know how 'liberal' you'd have to be for this quote. I heard this joke from the mouth of no less than Tom Wright (at ETS five or six years ago). Got quite the reaction to say the least!
I think I heard this on a Wright MP3 lecture as well.
It's a brilliant line, all the more so since I know a good many people who do have that viewpoint of the last days.
Maybe I’ll throw it out there sometime and see how they react… who knows maybe they’d enjoy it too? (or they'll call me a heretic, either way it could be fun)
Personally I don't think one should ever make jokes about being damned, whatever your millenial/dispensational viewpoint.
