I'm not sure I'll be able to resist the temptation to do this...
With so many of the Millenialist Armageddonist fundy types convinced that this is truly the End Times ("we were mistaken about it all those other times, but THIS TIME, we KNOW it's happening!"), I have the worst, most evil impulse of my life. Please, my DU brethren and sistren, help me to resist the temptation!

...I want to go to one of the fundy mega-churches this Sunday, right before services let out, and leave empty suits of clothing on the sidewalk and in the cars parked out front and in the parking lot.

Must.Not.Taunt.The.Rapturists. Bad! Bad!!!

4. Sorry. I can't help you resist
In fact, that's a damn fine idea. I may actually have to do that myself, except why waste money on a perfectly good suit which you'll never see again? Ok, the best I can do. Pretty weak I suppose.

7. Better yet - Get some inflatable dolls as well
Litter the sidewalks and bush's outside the arena where they are all congregating.
With the clothing strewn about prepare the dolls by filling them with helium...

Just before they are to come out the door let the dolls free.

Then stand there with a sign, with "THE END"


It would be a riot to watch them all freak.

11. Better idea.
Purchase one of those inflatable sex dolls and dress it in a nice Sunday suit.

Borrow a car with a sun roof.

Get 500 feet of small-filament fishing wire.

Tie one end of the fishing wire to the head of the doll, and find a friend to hide in a tree with the other end.

As the church is letting out, drive by.

Have your friend in the tree pull VERY HARD on the fishing wire just as you pass the church.

The effect: the fundies will see someone in a car getting "Raptured" straight through the sun roof and on up to God.

Mayhem shall ensue; be sure to have another friend on station with a video camera.

16. There was a death on Six Feet Under like that.
Some kids were supposed to bring a whole bunch of inflated blow-up dolls somewhere for their boss. The dolls got loose and started floating skyward. A fundie woman in her car freaked out and ran into traffic screaming about the rapture and got smacked.

15. Don't resist geniph, RIDE THE WAVE......
You can really screw with their heads. How about clothes adorned with left wing slogans - a Kerry/Edwards pin, t-shirts with pictures of peace signs and pro-choice messages? I'd even contribute my t-shirt that reads "God WAS my co-pilot, but we crashed in the mountains and I had to eat him." Hell, throw in a few pairs of birkenstocks for good measure.

:applause: :woohoo: :yourock:

You need to make sure one of the "raptured" was wearing a Jesus is a liberal t-shirt.

Get you a nice Devil costume and walk in the church and get up behind the preacher in the middle of his dog and pony show and do him like Bush did the German Queen.

26. Ooh! Little signs everywhere -- "I was RAPTURED away --
Are you still here?"

Or maybe billboards: "If you can read this, you've already missed the Rapture."

I'll chip in! :rofl:

29. Now this is the BEST idea I've seen in a long time!
It will, of course, accomplish nothing, but man-o-man would it make me feel good to see this done (or even to organize the doing myself).

33. Don't forget to leave a few cars around...
...oddly parked - in the middle of the street, in the ditch, in somebody's front yard, etc., also with clothes hanging out the windows and on the ground.

37. Letters and emails...

...some fundies have started organizations to email, or send letters to their friends and family left behind. I think I'll make a list of all my fundy relatives, pick a quiet Sunday sometime soon, when some of them will be vacationing, and out of touch, and send the rapture letters. I'll send each of them a letter "from" all the rest. They'll all think the rest of the family got raptured, but they didn't! BWAHAHAHAHA Should be good for a 10-15 minute spasm of weeping, gnashing of teeth, and rending of garments!

Of course, once they figure out it was a horrible joke, they'll not have any trouble figuring out which relative did it!

:evilgrin:

"No, really, I got letters from everybody, too! I was about to come get your car!"
