rapture

So if you go to this lovely site and poke around, you'll find some interesting, thought-provoking, and some might say sad and disturbing threads for your viewing and lurking pleasure. However, when you get to this page, something rather odd happens. You can click on every thread and read it, as...

http://eternal-earthbound-pets.com/ I'm sort of against this one. If there really were a Rapture, then I doubt these folks would go around collecting up pets. If they have no real intention of following through, then they are taking money under false pretenses and that is criminal fraud. I...

http://www.raptureready.com/rap2.html The index is calculated by looking at 45 different factors and assigning each one a score between 1 and 5 based on the most recent events in the world. Some are rather straightforward (e.g. Satanism, Occult, earthquakes) but some are less obvious. Civil...

http://www.ebiblefellowship.com/may21/index.html It all hinges on 2 Peter 3:6-8 After that it was simply a matter of calculating the day in which the rain started to fall. . . . . . . . . . . . . The end-times folks are fascinated with the "1000 years = 1 day" verse, yet seem surprisingly...

I'm sure many of the readers of these forums have a nagging concern that any moment now they will be bathed in a glorious light, ascend bodily to heaven, and bask in the glory of the Lord during the final days, or something like that. Why "concern," you might ask? Well, as a loving Christian...

If there's a buck to be made, someone'll find a way to do it (note the religious 'connections'): http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,2204504,00.html I've moved this to the Business forum as I think it will get more attention here.

This is just an absolute hoot. ...and if you didn't catch the reference, you're obviously not a WWE/ECW fan...

In rebuttal to a prevailing attitude that Mormons are somehow just not up to the quality represented by Christian rapture sites, I offer 'build-another-ark'.

Apparently. http://prayon777.com :)

It's so bizarre, it just has to be true. For the past few weeks, my friends at the Ship of Fools have been telling me that sooner or later, I WILL find Jesus, god, the sugar-plum fairy and all the other bits. How true were those words? Only yesterday, I was driving around thinking...

After a number of recent threads, especially one where KK mentioned how much she was looking forward to the Rapture, I thought I'd try to find out why people would think that it's imminent. So - when's He returning? I’ve done a bit of research about the “last days of mankind” and, here’s some...

Today I was sitting with my wife at a popular coffee shop in Portland, Oregon and had the great displeasure of hearing the conversation of a group of seniors discussing the rapture. Two of them were trying to convince others of the impending doom that non-believers will face in the near future...

I was thinking about Randi's commentary on the Left Behind series. It seems to me that all those fundies are going to be in a jam. Randi mentioned that the fundamentalist prophesy is that only about 140,000 will be raptured. Heck, there have to be at least that many in Alabama alone who...

Anyone catch Rapture Ready's appearance on The Daily Show? (Apocalypse Now) The folks at RR did.

I have a co-worker who loves to talk about the end times a lot. For one thing, she doesn't believe she's going to die; she believes that the Rapture is going to come and "she will be flying." And she says this with a straight face. Anyway, it got me to thinking. I used to have a fear of the...

This is in reference to this thread, How to argue with atheists, on Rapture Ready. Membership required to view. I've been exploring how I argue on a forum board from a minority position. My goal has been to have productive and civil discussions where I argue my position without necessarily...

I know there is a site that was linked at some point for people who believed the rapture would come in 2012 and they would forfeit everything they have to people left here or some crap. It was hilarious and I want to see it again!

Well, not them specifically, but it's definitely fundamentalist. I wish I were making this up. I really do. But... such a game once existed, and now you must play the rom! (For evaluation purposes only, mind you!) Download from SA Grab an emulator from Zophar to play it on. My favorite is FCE...

All these disasters, and still no rapture. Surely they have to give up at some point. IIRC, other religions that made predictions that didn't come true gave up.

The guys at Something Awful have made our good buddies at Rapture Ready one of the subjects for their Weekend Web feature: http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=3160&p=3 "Discounts and big savings pull you away from the kingdom of Heaven!"

Oh god. If you ever want to see a bunch of loaded questions and strawmen, check this out. I like what it says on the page you get to after you choose -there is no god then -I have no evidence that he does exist. http://raptureready.com/health/11.html Complete with spelling/grammatical errors!

After wandering around the "Rapture Ready" site and hearing the wackos on TV, I have been wondering something. Why are fundamentalist so enthusiastic for the rapture to come? Doesn't that signal the start of incredible suffering for billions of people? If they are so confident they are going...

Is Rapture ready real or an elaborate hoax? Its just that some of the stuff on this page is crazy enough to seem like they are making fun of themselves. :hb:

Ever wonder what would happen if the earth's magnetic poles flipped? Go to Rapture Ready and Find out! Does anyone have an account there? You know, to correct them just a little...?

Tragedy or comedy, however you so choose to look at it, here are handy dandy tips on surviving if you are, Left Behind!

I just realized that Raddy boy has been missing from our lives lately. Did the Rapture happen? Or is he Ruptured? Just curious...

Last night, while perusing one of the threads over at Rapture Ready, I got to wondering. Many over at the board feel they will be bodily assumed into heaven, leaving behind a pile of clothes. So I got to wondering about an activity which wouldn't require clothing: Sex. Will God rapture those...

In a short two page thread on the Rapture Ready message board there are EIGHT (yes thats right 8! ) posters who readily admit to self mutilation or "cutting". rapture ready self mutilation Also notice that the original poster has absolutely NO idea what he is talking about and is somehow...
