"Roadtoad what will you do when the rapture happens...
I am curious what will all of you guys do when the rapture happens and you Christian Friends and Family and Neighbors and Co-Workers are missing.


That is a question I would love to hear from everyone what their answer is."








Since the forum isn't taking posts on old threads this is worth answering in a new one.

Most of my christian friends have nicer houses, cars and toys than me so I figure I'll go flop in their vacant houses and play with their stuff.

[Skeptical Greg]

I don't plan to do anything.

If I thought this was a problem, I would be a Christian.

Tell me! What will you do when BARNEY THE DINOSAUR imagines something TERRIBLE, and it comes to life?

Run like HECK, I imagine.

[evildave]

And what about the when the moon rises instead of that baby, and the Teletubbies all turn feral?

[c4ts]

Solipsism kills.

[glee]

Doesn't each religion promise different things?

The 'Rapture' means that fundamentalist Christians will all go off together?
And I can go with them?
Shudder ... isn't there an alternative?

How about those virgins?

Why can't I have someone build a pyramid in my honour?
Oh, we don't believe that one any more?
Shucks, looks like I'll have to behave well on this Earth....

A more realistic question to ask Billiefan: how long will it take before you realize that this "rapture" thing is bogus?

You do realize that it's only a step or two away from those guys who killed themselves so their spirits could hitch a ride on a UFO only:
1)you don't have to actually do anything to yourself to go on the trip
2)this version of the "Big Trip" is socially acceptable.

It's in here. The board wasn't accepting replies on existing posts last night so I threw this up for the hell of it.

Nah, the suicide cults do the world a favor by concentrating idiots into clusters and then destroying them.

The "rapture" thing just tells idiots to hang around and don't bother being anything but bad consumers with inadequate plans for the future.

Take the Jehova's Witlesses (please!) Do you know what they do every time another "Doomsday" rolls around? Charge up their credit cards, take a second on the house and give a lot of $$$ to their church. Then doomsday comes and goes (again!) and they're left with the bills. Here's a group that's NOTORIOUS for their doomsday garabage, and what do certain other Christians think about them? Well FOOLS, naturally; but their OWN church's interpretation of gospel and doomsdays, well THAT is INFALLIBLE!

The rapture (as other such interpretations) has been "imminent" for 2000 years. Get a clue.

[UnrepentantSinner]

When all the Orthodox, Catholics and Anglicans suddenly disappear the "non-denominationals" will be standing around going: That coulnd't have been the rapture... I'm still here...

I didn't think this was worth the post the first time; why did you bother to bump this?

I'll answer this if you answer something for me first, bf2k.

What will you do when Cthulu rises from his dark slumber to decimate the world?

"But, I don't believe in Cthulu..."

Exactly.
