Anyone interested in faking the rapture

[RPM]

i think that would be a hoot.

fundies would get their panties in a bunch when they think the rapture happened and they didnt get to go.

we could get special effects and really make it convincing.

maybe we could get Soros to underwrite it - it would probably take some good coin.

any ideas on how we could make a good fake rapture?

3. They had rapture week on the Discovery channel, but it was only

about a bunch of birds---oh, those were raptors, never mind.

4. While the fundies are in church you could litter the lawn with clothes.

Perhaps place a stalled car on the street and hire a few actors to walk around yelling: OMFG! My wife/dad/kid just disappeared.

I suppose you'd need a few dozen people to pull it off. It would make a great prank.

At the very least, it would confuse the hell out of the fundies for an hour or two.

7. You would need 4 white horses

Where that comes from I don't know but I have heard a few fundies talking about how great it will be.
It would be a blast watching all the fundies run around like chicken little.

19. Well, if you don't have 4 white horses you can substitute!

They wouldn't notice the difference anyway!

5. We did that once in college.

Four year Lutheran liberal arts college. A very fundie kid on our dorm floor. We decided to fake the Rapture one day when he was out. Left showers running, phones off the hook, and our clothes positioned in chairs, on beds, at tables, etc. Then we all split. The down side is that we couldn't be around to see his reaction, but I guess it was pretty cool.

6. that's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

:rofl:
did you ask him later what he had thought?
:rofl:
that is completely awesome.

doubly funny for me having grown up in a lutheran hoem & church.

:rofl:

that made my day.

9. Oh yeah, we asked.

But he was pretty closed mouthed about it.

Over time he lightened up a lot and was a pretty cool guy.

11. It could be like the original War of the Worlds radio show.

You could have an ordinary fundie-friendly type show, and you would have fake "breaking news" segments interrupting the show with news that the rapture has begun. You could do things like have a newsperson cover the story, and *poof* they'd disappear too during the broadcast.

It would be awesome....

12. I so wanna play

this sounds like a very fun game.

Count me in...

If we could get all the Dem members of Congress to play - even better.

Then arrange a Faux news report.

Maybe a few of us could call into their talk radio stations and wonder what happened to all our Democrat friends.

In the meantime, we all head to the beach (an undisclosed location, much like Cheney's favorite hangout).

We drink rum punch and laugh and laugh and laugh.

A stellar idea!

15. That would be so cool.

16. I wonder if it already happened...

...and just NOBODY was worthy of being called up. Except maybe that babe in Aruba...

17. A couple years ago

Some truck carrying blowup sex dolls filled with helium for a party at a strip club had its tarp blow off and a bunch of them floated away. Some fundie driving on the same road saw them in the distance and thought it was the rapture and she'd missed it. She pulled over to go chasing after the elect and got whammed by a truck. Every time I think of that story, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
