When will the rapture happen?

[undeterred]

[undeterred]

1. I think you're all gonna be left behind!

[Chan790]

2. I suspect it occured

already and all the RW fundies who are left are f*cked. The rest of us are here temporarally to torment them.

[Jamastiene]

3. I don't know but

I base my wish for when it would happen on the right answer to my question; Who are the real Christians?

If the real Christians are DU Liberal Progressive Christians, I hope it doesn't happen anytime soon.

If the Bushites are the real Christians, then it can't possibly happen soon enough.

4. The Rapture is pure fiction.

I feel really sorry for anyone that believes in it. It's a fairytale started by a cult in the mid 1800's.

[undeterred]

5. well the early christians believed Jesus would return

but they didn't embellish it quite as much...

[azmouse]

6. The Rapture as fundies believe in it has nothing to do

with the return Jesus promised. Plenty of website explain how fundies are being mislead by false doctrine on this subject.

7. Oh, sure. The next thing we know you'll say Earth isn't 4,000 years old

and Eve wasn't made from Adam's rib and dinosaurs really existed and Mary didn't really get knocked up by the Big Guy in the Sky ...

;)

[azmouse]

8. What?! Dinosaurs really existed????

Get right out of town. There goes the theory that the fossil remains were just planted there! Man, now I have to rethink everything.... :wow:

[RebelOne]

16. Well, all the idiots at RaptureReady.com

are convinced it is going to happen soon. They believe that Jesus is going to zap them all up to heaven to walk the streets of gold.

[undeterred]

32. well thank God for that

I hope they're gone soon and leave us in peace.

9. An observation RE: the rapture

I was watching the video clips on www.thegodmovie.com, and they made an intriguing statement. They noted that about 40% of Americans believe the raputre will happen. Therefore, they don't have a long-term view of their responsibilities, and will even encourage unrest in the Middle East (sound familiar?) in an effort to nudge the rapture date up a bit. The narrator said that many Americans would look at a mushroom cloud over Jerusalem and see a silver lining.

It leads to irresponsible and reckless public policy.

[undeterred]

10. Exactly

but I think that shortsightedness fits with other elements of our culture- gotta have it now, consumer oriented culture.

[Bucky]

22. On the flip side, it also leads to me upgrading my car

So we take the bad with the good. Let's call it a wash.

[tyedyeto]

24. Thanks for the reminder...

my car needs a bath.

[saltpoint]

11. I've got it penciled in for April 18, 2009.

A week or so into baseball season.

12. No. They're saving it for the day before I retire n/t

[saltpoint]

14. Uh-oh. Looks my figures are off. I should never have hired those

Republican accountants!

[RebelOne]

13. Check in with the fundies at RaptureReady.com

They are waiting to see what happens on Aug. 22. And they're all sure they will be zapped up to heaven soon.

15. No EDT at RaptureReady.com.

I went to RaptureReady.com. I am not finding the estimated time of departure.

I'm still looking. I wouldn't want to miss anything.

[RebelOne]

17. Some over at RaptureReady.com think that

August 22 is a day when something big will happen.

[NYC]

31. It's a good thing you responded to me,

because I had already forgotten about it.

I'll dress nicely on Tuesday, just in case. :)

(scroll sideways!)

AD. , on the second of June, about 8:00 am Australian Eastern standard time. This is three minutes after the last rapture believer gives up
and stops believing in the rapture - you always wondered how stupid fundies were, and now you know.

[tjwmason]

21. Never - I'm a Catholic.

We don't go in for that.

[billyskank]

25. Hurrah! A Christian who follows the Bible!

:woohoo:

;)

[tjwmason]

26. Well...

sort of...

[billyskank]

27. What I meant was

not making a load of shit up that isn't in there.

[tjwmason]

28. I repeat...

Well...

Sort of...

But then it gets complicated.

[billyskank]

30. Okay

no need to explain. :)
