1. Maybe
they should be convinced to vote Dem in order to "accelerate" the Rapture?

2. Rapture-ready Bible-believing Christians
with nice homes need to execute life estate deeds in favor of themselves, remaindered to me. After all, someone's going to have to see to the yard work and the property taxes after they "take wing." They also need to deliver their signed, open car titles to me. We're going to have to get around during the apocalypse.

Stupid nobs!

22. LOL! I was going to say "make sure their tanks are full..."
With gas going above $3/gal, what good are a lot of abandoned cars on "E"?

8. There was a caller on c-span this morning...
Who was answering the question, "Will there be peace in the Middle East?" And she said yes, there WILL be peace, because it says so in the bible-when the "rapture" comes (or something-I'm not into the bible-but she went on and on quoting parts of the bible saying that we'll have peace WHEN THE WORLD ENDS). Does that count?? :shrug:

10. Yup, that's right...
But I don't think that's what Brian Lamb meant by his question. :)

13. Just shut up and revel in their infinite superiority
The sheer selfishness at the heart of this religion is tiresome.

14. If you are a Christan you have to believe in...
...Faith healing .

You have to believe in Gods turning into people and people turning into Gods.

If you don't believe me just ask them.

17. start being the type of Christians most likely to be raptured rather than
saying they are. It seems a little prideful to me to believe that you are one of the few who are a deity's favorite.

Ever notice that the most vocal rapture adherents are the ones who act the least Christian?

19. I don't think it's Christian bashing...just bashing people who are
delusional and happen to be Christian. And I'm not sure those people would ever vote progressive (read rational) in their life.

21. But it is fun! :-)
Seriously, the rapture mob are certifiable. I'm guessing most Christians would repudiate them?

23. Um, read their bible, because it AIN'T in there.
It's a part of the mythos added much, much later - try the 1800s.

24. I'm in favor of the Rapture.
If it gets rid of the mouth-breathing idiots who believe in such drivel, I hope it happens soon. We'll be better off without them.

25. They should plant their heads in the sand and wait for their Rapture.
Edited on Sat Jul-22-06 06:54 PM by sarcasmo
We will never have to hear from them again. One can dream can't he.
