Apocalypto-Christians: tell the crazy crazies from the sane crazies
Here's a cute thread from the "Rapture Ready Message Board"

http://www.rr-bb.com/archive/index.php/t-153565


Larry:
Did anyone catch Michael Savage today? It was fascinating, he said Bill Clinton was the devil incarnate, that Kerry was Slick's stooge to pick Hillary as VP and appoint Bill as Secretary General of the United Nations when Kerry becomes President ostensibly making the Clintons as rulers of the world. At first it sounds farfetched, but Savage makes a very convincing case and other shows like glenn beck have speculated that Kerry better watch himself if he picks Hillary for fear of a moe greene special, thus making her President Hillary Clinton.


chris_h:
We usually frown on pin-the-tail-on-the-Antichrist here. Besides, a lot of Bible teachers say he's gonna come from the EU, and won't be fully revealed until after the Rapture. As well, it's possible for Solana, either Clinton, etc., are NOT the Antichrist and can in fact one day repent and be soundly saved. We just don't know.


Jenny:
i'm sorry but i can't stop laughing... bill clinton=antichrist?? uh...i would think Satan would pick someone a little more credible than that....


What a bizarre message board!

2. These people are f*cktards
There literally is no other word for it. They are sick and disturbed nuts. The real tragedy here is that they are getting media attention instead of the medical attention they need.

3. We live in a country so great as to extend Liberty to the superstitious.
That says it all for me. What a great country- what a grand social experiment we are all witness to. To knowingly entrust Liberty to these fools and their books with words that mean numbers that mean other words which prophesize a thousand incomprehensibly strange things...to these who read reverently about the father told to kill the son because of the voices in his mind and who judge the world on a poetic history interpreted literally...

What an ambitious view of man our forefathers had. They, like ourselves, believed us to be advancing as a species when a rejected wisdom available to them even then proposed a quaint yet eternally distressing observation: Mankind will never change. Man will never advance to some enlightened state. Superstition and fear will run roughshod through the few houses of beautiful ideas that the a scorned minority wasted their lives to build in vain.

The only sweetness I find is in the romantic battle against an unbeatable foe. We are the shackles, we are the chained.

8. Wow, you must be real fun at cocktail parties!
LOL! I'm just kidding. Very well said.

I'm not sure I completely agree with you, but the evidence is strongly on your side.

4. End times chat?
Oy vey! What a cheerful board this must be!

Wow!

I work with people like this. They say things like, "if Jesus tarries" and "if we are still here."

Christians have been anticipating the "End of the World" since the time of Jesus.

9. They are concerned about their pets who will be "left behind"
View Thread : Plans for your Pets?

Morningstarlet
I know there's been many discussions on things that you will leave behind for unsaved loved ones during the rapture. But does anyone have anything they are doing to ensure their pets have water/food if they are suddenly raptured? I'm curious because I worry about my 2 cats and pet turtle should I disappear suddenly. I bought a FreshFlow pet water fountain that has a supply of fresh water that would last several days for my cats. I'm not sure what to do for food because they would eat everything up in no time if I left a bag of food out. :lol I have an unsaved friend that has a key to my house, and I've instructed him to feed my cats if I'm raptured. Of course I hope he gets saved before the rapture. Anyone have any suggestions?


carolsales
Very thoughtful of you to think about your pets. Telling your unsaved friend to take care of them is a good idea.

But what if God saves your friend?

If you think the endtime is near, maybe its time to let them go back to their natural habitat. Like the sparrows, God will take care of them.

I suspect there will be alot of animals, especially those inside houses, that will not survive. I have two dogs, and I really don't know who would take care of them.
All I know to do in case of Rapture is pray that in His wisdom, He has a plan even for them.
I remember someone, on one of these types of threads long ago saying she and her husband had a plan to grab the dogs if they were raptured!

Oh---man I thought I was the only one that was crazy enough to be concerned about my lovely little dog!! Glad that there are others out there too!! I don't know what to do either!! The thought of her starving to death in the house makes me cry somedays. I know that the Lord would take care of her but I wish she could go in the rapture too!!! I try not to think about it very much. I hug and say goodbye to her all the time. :cry She has been such a wonderful blessing to our family. Gotta go and get some tissue now!!

...actually makes me feel better for myself.


I try not to insult people but... these people are fucking idiots, and it's one of the funniest attempts at sane discussion I've ever seen.


edit: Here's a winner!!!

http://www.rr-bb.com/archive/index.php/t-155646

"I'm sorry but I can't trust any of them.They all try and act too normal and try to fit in too much for me. It may be racist to some but I think I'm just being smart. I mean you hear theur defenders say "Oh they're just here trying to build a better life,trying to provide for their family. I don't buy it. How do I know the "friendly" Arab that owns the store up the street from me actually uses that money for supporting a family and isn't using it to provide for his brothers in Jihad? How do I know he's not sending that money to a mosque that is really recruiting suicide bombers? How do I know?I don't. I don't think there is anything wrong with the feds and police investigatig all these charities and mosques immediately. If they have nothing to hide and love America so much then they won't care either. If they won't submit to it then we just seize the money and property and detain them or deprot them. I'm sorry it's come to this but I can't just blindly trust that Mohammed up the street is a good guy. For the people that say"Oh why single out Arab Muslims, why not Black people, Chinese people, White people? Well sorry to put it to them bluntly but if not all terrorists are Arab Muslims then how come so far all terrorists have been Arab Muslims...Enemies deserve no rights...If they truly love America and hate terrorists they won't care about a little investigation...Am I way out in right field here or am I right?"
