Rapture Ready: tackling vital theological quandries since 1996
http://www.rr-bb.com/showthread.php?p=739189#post739189

"What if there was a set of conjoined twins, but only one of them was saved? What happens when the Rapture occurs?"

2. Based on all of the myriad references to conjoined twins in the Buybull, they've decided that either
1. The Saved! one goes to heaven, the other does not, and The Lawd separates them in a miraculously non-messy way or

2. The Saved! one goes to heaven, the other does not, and The Lawd separates them in a messy way, giving the Saved! one the organs, and the other is, and I quote "not his problem."

Some of them are ducking the question and talking about souls only even though they believe the physical body will be raptured.

4. Well I suppose the Rapture would be cheaper than the surgery
However, does the one that stays on earth have to lug around a dead attached carcass for the rest of their life. And personally, if I was a co-joined twin where the other half was a raving lunatic fundie hell I'd be doing all I could to make the rapture start!

7. this is a simple question...
the twins separate in a neat way because the lord loves those that are saved and the other one will end up in the firery furnace of hell.

simple

8. OK., reading those responses was disturbing
I really liked the one who said that the saved conjoined twin's body would go to Heaven and the unsaved twin would be left behind and that if they shared major organs, well too bad and it wasn't God's problem. The poster than went on to say that lots of people were going to die during the Rapture, for example in airplane and car crashes, and it wasn't God's problem either. For one brief moment I thought about registering on the site and posting a response to her (or him as the case may be) that would instantly get me thrown out - to whit "Nice god you've got there honey."

9. He's omnipotent and omnibenevolent, though...
These people believe their god is a sociopath. It's the only explanation.

11. didn't God conjoin them in the first place?
How can he say it's "not his problem" then when the rapture comes?

More proof God is a republican.
