Everyone still ok? no mass murders, muggings, robberies?

[RB TexLa]

I assumed since the "morning after" pill is now available over the counter that all moral values have gone out the window in the country? Everyone escape the chaos?

1. I don't know if I'm still here, or just my "essence" after the much

heralded rapture... Oh, wait.. Here's some new bills. I guess I must still be here. :eyes:

2. By "much heralded" you mean bantered about by

a few people on a rapture related website, many of whom were skeptical of the Rapture occuring on a specific day?

3. well, and anyone else that still believes in a rapture

i just call them 'rapturists'.

[bryant69]

4. Beliving in the rapture means you believe it happens on Aug 22?

That's interesting.

5. No, the rapturists were hoping for Aug. 22.

But they all believe it is going to happen soon.

[bryant69]

9. That's a broader statement than the record justifies.

[TheFriedPiper]

6. no, but nice try at misrepresenting what I said

why so defensive?

are you a rapturist?

[bryant69]

8. I believe that a rapture is likely to happen, yes.

So yes I am a ratpurist. We've been down this road before haven't we?

So I confess, my inquisitive friend, to being what you would define as a rapturist.

10. i'll remember not to leave any important decisions up to you then

[bryant69]

11. If I didn't believe in the rapture I would still belive in a magic man

in the sky, right? I mean as long as I'm a believer in superstition, would you really trust my decision making process? Or are some superstitions better than others?

[TheFriedPiper]

13. to each his own, just please stop infecting others

if your 'faith' was strong, you wouldnt have to keep bleating it all over the place

[bryant69]

18. infecting others?

Interesting terminology. But I don't start posts on religious subjects - I merely respond to them.

How would you respond to someone encouraging you to stop infecting others with your atheism? I can't imagine you'd be very happy.

[TheFriedPiper]

21. how funny of you to assume that I infect anyone

I simply REJECT the fear based superstitions pushed by religion

And I say so.

I don't claim fantasy as fact. That is what seperates us.

[bryant69]

14. I could - i'll think about it

But my beliefs on the rapture aren't the cathedrals of fantasy constructed by Left Behind authors - i really don't think about it that much. For one thing, no man knows the hour or the day - which means it could be tomorrow and it could be 200 yars from now. For another, it just doesn't matter that much to me. But I'll think about it.

This was intended as a rsponse to the request below to post more in the religious forums - i don't know how it popped up here. Sorry.

[TheFriedPiper]

17. then you should not drive - ever

to do so would be intentionally putting others at risk, as your vehicle would become unoccupied at the time of the event, which you claim could happen any second, so, you would be actively endagering others by driving

reckless endangerment

or is it that your belief isnt REALLY that strong?

[hlthe2b]

12. Ive not interacted with you Bryant69 before I dont' believe..

and I in no way wish to be disrespectful of your beliefs despite my somewhat sarcastic comment to the original post.

But, I'd love to ask about those beliefs sometime as I admit to not knowing anyone who does believe in the rapture. I'm off to work, but just wonder if you post in the religious subforums?

[RB TexLa]

16. The original post is about the morning after pill

[bryant69]

19. I'm sorry you are right- i shouldn't have responded -

[RB TexLa]

20. No problem, I was just letting them know, I don't think they went past

the subject line. Something I have been guilty of before as well.

[hlthe2b]

7. Quite a few did... give the significance of the date for Iran

and predictions (from some) of nuclear confrontation on that date...

My sarcasm boils over... I hope you can tell...:sarcasm:

[Hugin]

15. That won't happen until they start immunizing against the viral cancers.

Everybody knows that! :eyes:
