[trumad]

http://aattp.org/court-rules-against-homeschoolers-who-stopped-teaching-kids-because-the-rapture-is-coming/

[Frustratedlady]

1. Comfy couch, eh?

Surely, they aren't on that Rapture crap again?

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

25. Yeah, how many times have they went down that path now?

[In_The_Wind]

2. I guess I can stop paying the bills.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

3. Does this idiot know

that the rapture wasn't part of Christian theology till John Nelson Darby invented it in 1830?

[cui bono]

7. Really? Wow. That makes it even more stupid. n/t

[yodermon]

13. lol, from his wiki entry

Darby saw the invention of the telegraph as a sign that the end of the world was approaching; he called the telegraph an invention of Cain and a harbinger of Armageddon.[5]

[jwirr]

22. Exactly. But no they do not know that because the rw preacher are careful not to tell them.

[MoonRiver]

4. Well, as a wife, I know that is one fucked up excuse!

Honey Do Man of the Year, you are NOT!

[trumad]

5. Damn. ..I thought it was a winner.

[MoonRiver]

6. Just dust off that lawn mower and I'll give you a second chance at the Honey Do championship.

I'm waiting....

8. Six Feet Under: "In Case of Rapture"

I always loved this opener.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

14. I didn't get HBO until the day this episode premiered.

Decided to give the show a chance. I never laughed so hard...

[Blue Owl]

15. That was some funny stuff alright!

[TeamPooka]

19. Sweet Jesus!

[trumad]

28. Loved that show.

Greatest openings to a show ever....

[ReRe]

30. I remember that episode well...

... and I miss the show. I wish they would re-run them.

[mountain grammy]

35. Now, THAT's funny!

[progressoid]

37. Possibly the best opening to Six Feet Under ever.

[bklyncowgirl]

9. Whatever happened to "The Good Lord helps those who help themselves?"

Not educating your kids because the Rapture is coming. Ridiculous.

[SunSeeker]

23. As Gandhi said, Christians are nothing like Christ.

They sure don't seem to follow Jesus Christ's teachings.

What these parents did is child abuse.

[madokie]

10. I've been on my hands and knees all morning putting down flooring

and if I told my wife I wasn't going to mow this afternoon like she suggested I do, well I won't take a chance on what would happen if I did that

Caramelized Stranded bamboo is some pretty flooring but a biotch to install. My knees will never be the same, ever.

[JVS]

11. I want you to stay out of Kentucky and Scotland.

If they stop laying whiskey up in the warehouses for aging, this could turn into a serious problem.

[NightWatcher]

12. Stopping ____ because you're expecting the rapture is one step away from purple koolaid and Nikes

and should be addressed as a mental illness.

Remember those Heaven's Gate people, all they did was decide they didn't want to wait for the end. They hopped aboard the spaceship. We all agree they were nuts... How far are these Rapture Ready types from doing this? Shouldn't this be treated as an illness and not just a casual belief?

[panader0]

17. I remember well those Heaven's Gate folks.

The guys cut their nuts off. They thought the Mother Ship was in the trail of the comet. The next week, SNL did a spot about them,
showing their leader on the Mother Ship, saying, "Yeah we were right about this, right about everything except that castration thing."

[Live and Learn]

18. Very true! nt

[Enrique]

16. that Judge is going to get left behind

[KG]

20. religion LOL n/t

[mountain grammy]

21. and I just had a root canal. wtf?

[DocMac]

33. hahahahaa!!!

[W T F]

24. This says it all :-)

[link:|

[pleinair]

26. LOL

[zeemike]

27. I thought the rapture was coming months ago and stooped doing housework,

Now I live in a pig sty.
But I got it all figured out...God delayed the rapture just to teach me a lesson, and I am still trying to figure out what that lesson might be.

[tomm2thumbs]

29. Rapture is here

Blondie's Rapture of course...

[Warren DeMontague]

31. I blame the ebolas

[DocMac]

32. No need to even flush the toilet,

or wipe for that matter.

[Bettie]

34. Eh, I am assured

by my fundie brother and Wisconsin Synod Lutheran in-laws that I will most definitely not be among the raptured, so I must keep plugging along.

On the other hand, there might be some good stuff up for grabs when they all go!

And, all the really obnoxious people will be gone, given those I know who believe they will ascend into the sky!

(Edited to add one last thought)

[mountain grammy]

36. I told my brother in law I"ll take his truck when he goes..

since I won't be going.

[kjones]

38. The raptors are coming!
