Looking forward to a post-Rapture world, and other bollocks

May 17, 2011 14:09

I've seen it as a growing meme/virus on the outer fringes of my Facebook friends list - but thankfully not yet on my LJ FL, you guys are far too intelligent - that we are now in the last days before the Rapture on 21 May 2011. I don't wish to give further currency to this crap, but like many atheists I'm once again rather looking forward to the day ( Read more... )

weird shit, apocalypses, snark, frauds

> Christ is said to have hung on the cross on April 1, 33 AD.

And a few days later he jumped up and shouted "APRIL FOOLS"

If I could add tags to individual comments I'd be tagging 'uncommon sense' to this. Excellent.

I've just indicated "Attending" on a Facebook event: "Post Rapture Looting"

I'm just wondering how many of those billboards and sides-of-bus ads were sold on net-60 contracts. I know that if I were the sales manager on them, I would have demanded payment up front. I also hope that these people don't decide that God Needs Assistance and decide to help things along this Saturday.

I believe the Rapture occurred years ago, took one or two deserving Christians bodily into heaven, and left the rest of us damned wretches (including all the unRaptured Christians) behind.

I should start a church with this as the doctrine, but there's probably one already.
