2. Check out RaptureReady.com's bible search function
http://www.rr-bb.com/

"No dictionary results available for rapture"

Maybe it's just me, but I find that hilarious!

welcome to DU Rageagnst! :hi: My hope is when they all float off to the rapture we will be able to live in peace. I hope it soon, we need to take care of our planet and they are certainly in the way.

I can't listen to this crap anymore, these people are nuts. What are they going to do when there is no rapture, maybe their heads will explode.

7. As a Christian, may I tell the people reading this thread-
Edited on Tue Aug-01-06 01:52 PM by BeHereNow
THESE people are NOT Christians, Christians do NOT
twist scripture for their own fantasical delusions.
Unbelievable, the crap they are spewing
and certainly not in the bible.
Truly.

9. Rapture Ready Reality UFOs, Ghosts, ESP
Fools, they memorize the Bible then toss in another add on belief that makes them temporally special. "Jesus is coming and I will be saved just because I am chosen." As a lapsed Catholic I never recalled hearing crap like this during my time in the Religion. It comes out of the Southern Churches.

8. "Prophetic rhetoric"
more like "pathetic rhetoric". :puke:

I didn't know about that last war where the Russians & their Arab allies attack Israel, but Israel doesn't fight back. It will be "supernatural" with thunderbolts & stuff. They said we'll all be watching it on CNN! Should be pretty kewl.

10. Oh My! That was so FUCKING DEEP!
NOT!

Nice how the pretty white blonde & blue-eyed "reporter" for :puke: "Faith and Values" :puke: rubbed her nose during the broadcast in the manner that is said to reflect lying/disbelief in what the speaker is actually saying.

And, so very nice of CNN to:
1) Cater to the fundies to bring them over from FAUX
2) Omit the history of the Bible and how the different books came to be
3) Omit that the part of the Rapture was added to the Bible in the 1800s
4) Cater to the fundies by presenting only speakers who also want more things to happen that will bring their precious Jay-Zuz to them more quickly
5) Cater to the RW administration to gain an even greater stranglehold for pushing to allow a religion (cult) to dominate our our government and laws by promoting Bush, As-Seen-On-TV, by "believers" as fulfilling one of the "End Times" prophecies.

Fucking Media Whores! :grr:

End :rant:
End :puke:
