WTF? What happened to the Rapture?
I went to bed last night with visions of being left behind in my head.

1. How do you know you weren't left behind?
Along with the rest of the godless leftists on DU? We're still here...but didn't we expect to be anyway?

3. It doesn't seem that anyone is missing
and that is completely in character for the Yahweh of the old testament. Remember, he's a vengeful god who prefers to send people to hell rather than welcome them into heaven.

I guess he's concerned about his property values.

Edited on Fri Aug-04-06 12:22 PM by FearofFutility
You could wait another day or two to see if they were a little off on the timing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! I'd look really good in a black BMW convertible.

10. I think everyone should.....
find out where the rich fundy preachers live in their area, set up camp on their fancy lawns. When they ask "What are you doing on my property?" tell them you're waiting for the rapture just like they are. "You're going up there, right? You won't be needing your house anyway. I got first dibs." :evilgrin:

11. Plus, when they get sucked up all nekkid and such,
you can videotape it and win the grand $100,000 prize on America's Funniest Videos.

12. If the rapture was really going to happen
there would be so few who ACTUALLY qualify for it that nobody else would even notice.

19. They didn't figure in the leap years
give them a few days to whip the rapture ready back into their lathered frenzy with a new date to "look forward" to.

21. I've been having so much fun with this cRapture stuff!
Went over to raptureready.net to see what the chat board held on August 3rd. All that windup - and most of the posts were "well thank goodness nothing BAD happened".

What?? Anyway the loonies are certainly entertaining. Gads, I must have too much time on my hands.

26. Wait just a minute! They think it's bad now? What the heck?
Those folks are confused. What could be bad about being sucked naked into the sky by an angry god? I thought that's what they'd been praying and caterwauling about!

...I thought it was just the heat in NJ, and here it is Friday night already, and no Jubilation warrior has come to rip my guts out with a sword yet.
:rofl:
I wonder what happened to that ding-dong that another DUer mentioned last week: the DUer's co-worker resigned his job to prepare for the Rapture. What an ultra-maroon.

Should be interesting to check out the Rapture Ready website this weekend for the "wailing and gnashing of teeth". :evilgrin:

30. The Rapture did happen. Jesus took 10 people from Denmark.
He left the rest.

I know next to nothing about this Rapture business
and I'm very happy about that particular part of my ignorance. But, IIRC, isn't there supposed to be only about 100,000 people that are going to be "raptured"?
correct me if I'm wrong

32. Well, according
to Nostradamus, it's August 6, 2006. Except that can't be right. If it's August 6, we would need to know what time zone he's going to strike, because if it's August 6 in Australia, it's still August 5 in many other parts of the world. :shrug:

33. Well
since it never existed in reality, then it never happened.

Reality is difficult for some to take.

It happens.

Get used to it.

You can't make your own.
