Rapture believers are the dumbest people in the world. If you know someone that believes in a hard date and time. Make sure they sign over all their assets before the rapture. Just tell them "Only people that give up all material possessions will be saved."

I was raised by one, which was so bizarre because he was an otherwise intelligent an articulate person. Could have easily been a college professor but instead chose to waste his time on religion.
He claims he never stopped believing, but when the world didn't actually end on October 21, 2011, he picked up drinking and smoking and started wasting money on $20 scratcher tickets. Stopped reading the Bible every day as well, and eventually turned a MAGA republican near the end. Then on September 30, 2021 he was killed by an intoxicated driver, while crossing the street to buy a scratcher and cigarettes, a few days after brain surgery.
This is what religion does to you. It gets you fucking killed.
i think in this case it was the drunk driver actually, unless they were also a priest
No it was religion, because if he never believed, he would have never gone into the deep depression he did when the world didn't end in 2011, and thus would have had no reason to cross the street that night to buy cigarettes and scratchers.
yeah instead he'd be crossing the street to buy bread or eggs. as much as religion sucks - ot was the drunk driver
He was living out of hotels at the time since my mom left him because of his religion, so he would not have had a reason to cross the street if it weren't for religion because he would have still been married.
"Of course our cats aren't being raptured too"
-Every Cat Owner
You're going to choose the God who won't take care of your cats?
I love how this implies cats don't deserve to go to heaven
Isn't that like a central part of the whole Christian thingamabob? I believe, you can interpret the bible to say that humans were created in the likeness of the Christian god and they are supposed to exploit all the other stuff that the god created. So, cats are there to be snacked, not for going to heaven...
So let me get this straight: no dogs, no cats, no companion animals of any kind, no rock stars, and no comedians. Who the fuck wants to get raptured? Place sounds like a nightmare.
Yep. To quote Billy Joel in Only the Good Die Young, "I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. The sinners are much more fun."
I mean, the sign was on her front door, not a neighbors. That's just selecting for anyone literate that would be left behind. The fact the neighbor took this as a message to themselves shows a level of narcissism that would guarantee they would definitely not be picked up by the rapture, if it were real...
Also believing that you will be raptured is a level of entitlement that should disqualify you too.
What if the rapture already happened but only like 3 people went to heaven and nobody else noticed?
You're so vain. You probably thought this passive aggressive sign about the Rapture was about you
Rapture should work in the opposite way, all the assholes get teleported to Venus (they can take their billions, if they want) and instead we can enjoy the planet earth
That subtle undercurrent of “Christians” that always judges you in some way indirectly. The assumption of your lacking in some way, you don’t meet whatever made up standard they have in their heads. Especially if they figure out you don’t align with their religion or politics.
What sort of fucking heavenly rapture wouldn't let you take your pets with you?
Old testament God would totally do that
Oh I know christianity would do that but how can anyone go "ah yes heaven eternal bliss and happiness" and A. not have a problem with their pets being excluded from that and B. Have their version of eternal bliss and happiness be without their loved ones? Like dafuq. I'm not a religious person but if you were to ask me what heaven would be for me my response is gonna include giving tummy rubs to my old roommates cat Chubs (she passed last year D=)
