The Rapture Ready nuts

[hyphenate]

Their board declares that the most--largest number--of posters was

"Most users ever online was 1,418, November 4th, 2008 at 11:53 PM."

Gee--I wonder why that would be. :eyes:

[LeftyMom]

1. I love the reaction thread to Obama's win.

My favorite:

I reacted the exact same way when I saw the Fox headline. Uncontrollable sobbing. I ran to the toilet dry heaving. Then I prayed for us to go home. My husband is not yet saved. We need to pray!

[drm604]

4. I feel sorry for that husband! n/t

[MineralMan]

5. Maybe the husband

is deliberately not getting saved, in hopes that the Rapture will come. I'm just sayin...

[LeftyMom]

6. If he's smart, he's getting "saved" by a good divorce lawyer.

What a nut.

[galaxy21]

16. How could she be shocked? Obama went in with a 98% chance of winning

I was reading FR during election night, and I figured they be resigned to it, but instead they were are completely shocked and acting like it was the biggest upset ever.

[LeftyMom]

17. If she were rational, she wouldn't be posting on Rapture Ready.

:shrug:

Most of them thought that The Jeez was going to pull it out for them somehow, once Holy Rollin' Sarah entered the race.

[hyphenate]

31. I started an account there

to have something to laugh at every now and then. If you've ever read their rules and other regulations, you could start a new comedy craze just reading them out loud.

[annabanana]

22. In FoxLand it was always a "close race" and everything they highlighted

seemed to be a boost for McCain and a hindrance for Obama... Why wouldn't they be shocked..?

[galaxy21]

24. I think Freepers were well aware of the polls

But they convinced themselves the Bradley effect would take 10 points off Obama, or Obama supporters would get so confident they'd all stay home, and republicans would come out full force.

[Kitty Herder]

34. Dry heaves and uncontrollable sobbing? This person is not well.

Sure, I was upset in 2000 and 2004 about Bush "winning," but I never sobbed or puked about it.

[BrklynLiberal]

2. Ican't wait until they are all taken. I want new shoes and a car.

[MineralMan]

7. I have a big flat screen TV all scoped out

for when the Rapture comes. Whee!

[Jim Lane]

13. You're assuming that everyone who runs an electronics store will be Raptured? (n/t)

[MineralMan]

15. No..No...

It's my next door neighbor's. According to him, he'll be in the first wave of the raptured. I asked him if I could have his big flatscreen TV when he's gone. He said, "Sure!" So, I'm golden.

[BrklynLiberal]

27. Good for you!!!

:thumbsup: :hi:

[Jim Lane]

41. Great! There's only one fly in the ointment....

Suppose YOU get Raptured, too?

[JuniperLea]

9. Oh ye of little faith!

I'm getting a new house AND a new car!

:rofl:

[BrklynLiberal]

28. I need to aim higher, I guess...

:thumbsup:

[sarcasmo]

14. Whenever they speak to me of the rapture I just ask them for their stuff.

[galaxy21]

3. Just the fact that they WANT the world to end is creepy

jeez, don't you want to see your kids grow up?

[Shallah Kali]

32. what is creepier is the ones having lots of kids AND wanting the world to end

They believe the world is evil, contaminated, full of dreadful menaces like liberals, gays, environmentalists, scientists, astrologers, etc. plus the devil out to get them and their kids but they want to bring as many kids as possible into a place they regard as a hell on earth? {need head exploding emoticon here}

[hyphenate]

38. I was wondering about that myself

One of the fundies I knew wasn't satisfied with the one daughter she had--she went and had fertility treatments until she had twins. Fuck--when they aren't condemning the science of evolution, they're taking advantage of what science can do for them. Maggots.

[MountainLaurel]

40. They're trying to build an army for Gawd

Hence, the limitless procreation.

[Dukkha]

8. and we are just as disappointed as they are!

that they all didn't suddenly disappear that night :(

[galaxy21]

10. Why are they so sure the rapture is soon, anyway?

Heck, 100 years ago people were probably saying 'the rapture will be here any day now.'

[hyphenate]

30. Uh, that's been in the works since

the 1st century, CE. The first prophets in the 60 or so years after the events in the Bible are supposed to have happened were predicting that Armageddon would come in their lifetime. It's been nearly 2000 years now, you would think they would have gotten a clue.

[JuniperLea]

11. It's God's will that Obama be elected president!

They just don't get it.

:eyes:

[awoke_in_2003]

23. That is as crazy as saying

that Obama's election will cause god to start the rapture.

[JuniperLea]

25. Duh! I'm using their own stupidity against them... they hate that shit...

DUH!

:eyes:

[awoke_in_2003]

35. I gotcha...

shoulda seen what you were doing by the smilie you used

[JuniperLea]

39. Now that you mention it...

:sarcasm: may have been the one to use:)

[Joe the Liberal]

12. Whats the most users we've ever had online here at DU? nt

[rucky]

18. How many were lurking DU-ers?

[GrizzlyMan]

21. I was one!

Screw Free Repuke, that night was a barrel of laughs for me. I remember the OPs example quite well. Their tortured cries were like a sweet lullaby.

I waited all day to get on that site when the final call was made by the networks. It was freakin awesome.

[MikeNearMcChord]

19. I want Pat Robinson's wine cellar. ;-)

[ACTION BASTARD]

37. I want his cigar and watch collection.

I bet his porn stash would be an astonishing smorgasbord of amazement.

[galaxy21]

20. I thought they thought Obama winning would be the beginning of the end (or something like that)

So wouldn't they be happy?

[JuniperLea]

26. Good point!

They should be, if you believe the myth, absolutely they should be!

[Mira]

29. Fascinating - Yup I think I know why. I was sobbing myself. But please....

come the rapture can I have Sarah's clothes?

[codjh9]

33. "When the Rapture Comes, Can I Have Your Car?" - one of my all-time fave bumper stickers

[ACTION BASTARD]

36. Ever since I put a Obama 44 wins family poster on my front door

The fucking jehovah's witnesses retards have not once knocked on my door. It's like garlic to a vampire or something.

You should all try it. It's delightful.
