Something I find hilarious about "non-crazy" Christians and the May 21 rapture

[Arugula Latte]

I've seen several posts online (not necessarily DU) from Christians painting themselves as "normal" and amused by the 5/21 Rapture hoopla. The thing they point to is that it's silly to pinpoint a date for the Rapture because no one knows when it will happen. Oh, yes, he entire concept of Jesus coming back to Earth and the pious being sucked up into the sky while the non-believers are cast down into eternal flaming damnation makes perfect sense, but actually stating a date when this happens is what strikes them as odd.

I mean, :wtf:

:rofl:

1. Too true.

Of course, "normal" refers to whoever is speaking over in Christ-land. They're all true Scotsmen.

3. I like the ones poo-pooing it as "invented"

"It was invented and is not an accepted doctrine by the majority of mainline Christian churches."

Couldn't pass up the chance to point out the irony of THAT one.

6. Yes, I saw that.

Everything else in the Bible and Christianity sits on a foundation of rock-solid fact, but the Rapture? Pfffft.

7. I'm looking forward to the day they

reinterpret god right out of Christianity. :D

You know, I never quite realized that. But you're right, that is hilarious!
