4. As soon as I saw the thread title- I knew my reply. And you beat me to it.
  Seriously, I'd rather giant locusts with the heads of lions spitting fire crawling over a broken landscape of buildings crumbling under a razing hail of molten brimstone.

  At this point, I'd consider that a fair trade to get them to shut up.

:o

18. Where Did He Compare the Two?
And why even compare.... fundamentalism is fanaticism. Anyone believing the a "Rapture" needs serious help and could possibly pose a danger to society... like say if it doesn't happen. Me thinks these folks get a bit angry when reality bumps them in the face.

20. Well, my sister will be very disappointed if it happens.
She had her 50 years old and time to get a colonoscopy check-up yesterday. Well, that's one way to tell a true believer. If they continue wellness check-ups, it means they're not real believers.

29. Why?
In fact while obviously my post is in jest, the joke really is that there are a very large number of people in this country who take this nonsense seriously, and that is actually a huge problem. Its funny, but then again its not funny at all.

30. Because the title of the post referenced "Rupture" not "Rapture"
Edited on Tue Aug-22-06 07:22 PM by mcscajun
The latter is the religious myth that people take seriously; the former is a hernia, hence the Truss references in the thread.

16. I woke up this morning fully expecting to see...


...erupting volcanoes and nazis riding dinosaurs.

Oh wait, that's what's supposed to happen if gay marriage is legalized.

Never mind.

next time, set your RaptureReady™ Clock Radio to the Rapture Index RSS feed, and you won't miss a thing.

26. Fundies would never believe the rapture is today
They believe the scripture that says no man shall know the hour when Jesus will come.

You're talking about cults, which are different than fundamentalists.

27. If it is is they have not organized it right. I went to Rapture Ready

I wanted to see if on their message board they had anything about it, but all they had was a supposed quote from an Israeli paper that some government or army person said to get the bomb shelters ready for a confrontation with Iran but they didn't have a link so I don't know.

I even posted on here last night to see if there were any links to it, but I couldn't even find out who is actually supposed to be organizing it, or if it is supposed to be the Rapture or the Apolcalypse.
