I was thinking about this today..... When we are Raptured there not only be tons of people missing, car accidents, planes crashes, and people not going to work because they are gone, BUT, What will happen when the people who are Raptured,there BILLS.... There Credit cards, homes, cars, etc...... this country is already in a huge financial crisis what will happen when you add even more bill's not being paid because the people are in Heaven!!!!!!!!!!!
"MILLION"S MISSING- CREDIT card companies need bail out money, phone and cable companies, electric company and gas companies...."

Total Collapse Of the USA..... then they ether have civil unrest, maybe civil war... or maybe they are taken over by the European Union.....

I particularly like the implication that the EU won't collapse -- presumably because they are all damned to Hell anyway. http://www.skepticforum.com/images/smilies/5propeller.gif

Thanks for the link. From the same thread I enjoyed this response:

I am not sure all my family members are saved, and I just pray they don't get stuck with my student loan payments and other debt I have. The best thing would be for them to be saved before the rapture

The mind boggles!

If a substantial number of people dissapear I don't think the bills will be the problem, directly. But there will be a sudden surplus of stuff, and the economy will grind to a halt as creditors try to sell off all the assets they'll be getting from the estates of raptees.

[Eddie Dane]

Just WOW.

I wish god would hurry up and take these morons up and get them the hell out of our hair. When I become a god, willful stupidity will be the greatest sin and will carry a mandatory punishment of a life of cleaning toilets with your hair.

[Soapy Sam]

Presumably for bald, stupid people, hair will be provided?

[biomorph]

I can't see why god delays around, honestly you'd think he'd at least start when there's no science about to bring his reputation into dispute. Why wait.

Perhaps this type of , um, ethnic cleansing takes a bit more prep,
you know, getting the clouds hoovered and all fluffed up, making sure the harps are all in tune, that sort of stuff.
Ah, and there's all those virgins too, for the other brothers of the book. Must put them up the list a bit, virgins. Might have to check that back order, been a bit short recently, damn medicine.

Still you can always blame satan, that conspicuously toothless wretch.




Does mean real estate prices might drop? i could do with a cheap farm.

Only for the shift, and they make you sign for it:)

Isn't the rapture limited to, like, 144,000 or something? Will we even notice when it happens? Less than .0024% of the world population disappearing - will it even make the news?

But stuff would be cheap and plentiful, you know land of milk and honey and all that stuff.

Hang on....you mean, could it be?

If everything is cheap and abundant, isn't that what heaven is supposed to be like?

So let me get this straight then, if the religious get taken upto heaven, and that leaves a sort of heaven back down here, um what gives?

All we gotta do is make sure they can't get back here... LOL

It might have already happened, We might've missed the boat.:D

So what's the problem? If you honestly believe that you could get 'raptured away' and leave your debts behind for someone else then buy 'rapture insurance'. Have any of you bible thumpers ever done this?

I'm sure that there isn't an insurance company around that wouldn't help you out. I'd even sell you a policy myself... :D

Pure profit. I would like to get in on that.

"Mammon Enterprises, providers of fundamentalist financial products as well as Christian-themed bumper stickers, has branched out once again into the area of personal liability. Rapture insurance compensates policy holders for damages caused by Rapture-related disappearances, dissipations, and heavenly ascensions".

According to Answerbag.com, about 152,000 people die around the world on any given day. So I doubt anyone would notice the rapture.


From the OP...

...there BILLS.... There Credit cards,...

"There wolf."

"What?"

"There wolf. There castle."

"Why are you talking like that?"

"I thought you wanted to."

"No, I don't."

"Suit yourself. I'm easy."


Sorry, just feeling snarky. It never ceases to amaze me that people like that can function in day-to-day society.

You are thinking that they are financialy responcible, but with the world ending why be responcible?

[drhex]

I wonder if they are also worried about having to buy new windows in case Superman flies by too quickly? ;)

http://www.rr-bb.com/showthread.php?t=80763Today in Denver, Mr O signed the $787 billion dollar stimulus bill in the musuem of nature and science.

The president said he would not pretend " that today marks the end of our economic problems. "

But then he said "Today mark's the beginning of the end, the begining of what we need to do to create jobs for Americans scrambling in the way of playoffs"


my question is why would he say it the way he did?? Did he have a message behind it??

Did you guys get this feeling too, or is it just me, I'm I making two much out of it!!

More likely because they don't know about the existence of other countries ...

Ironically, since Hell is the destination for people who steal, very few Christians in democracies will be called up. After all, Jesus said for you to give money to the poor, not to threaten your neighbor with violence if he doesn't give, too.


I suspect for the most part, we'll lose a handful of pious, low-level believers, and thus the Rapture will be inconsequential from that point of view.

Tonight's episode of Law & Order was about some Rapture Ready nuts. Some guy thought the rapture was here so he e-mails his brother (who he believes will be left behind) to tell him about some gold coins he has hidden away. Someone else intercepts the e-mail and steals the coins. And of course someone is murdered. At one point the two detectives go to a rapture convention.
