Actually I have always believed that if there really were such an event that rather than seeing a bunch of driverless cars careening down the road, or piles of clothes everywhere, that what we WOULD see would be a bunch of bewildered religious nuts staggering around asking out loud how they got Christianity so wrong.
This reminds me of every religion and cult that has their "doomsday" myth, like the Jehovah Witnesses waiting on mountain tops for the end of the world back in the 1800's.
ReplyDeleteFunny they never talk about that any more
Or that doddering old fool named Harold Camping predicting May 21st as the final judgement!

Just another crusty coot grifting off ignorant fools like Caribou Barbie Paylin
O/T, but an amazing story of a woman who is lucky to be alive, who got captured in Somalia and held hostage for over a year.

Really great read!
"staggering around asking out loud how they got Christianity so wrong."
ReplyDelete...uh...gryphen, you're usually pretty astute and I see the sentiment here, but if these people were capable of independent critical thinking like this, they wouldn't so slavishly follow their stupid preachers....
Not that Christianity is wrong. The messages of being nice to each other and generosity and compassion is great...it's just all these uneducated preachers motivated by greed and hatred and spreading stupidity (see the megachurch in Texas that promoted anti-vaccine propaganda that is now the center of a measles outbreak.)

I bought out the neighbors property 5 yrs ago. The reason they were selling was that they wanted to travel before the RAPTURE. No, I am not kidding. I heard they talked to my ranch manager about renting their old house and they were quite upset that it had been torn down. I guess I ruined "their place" lol.
ReplyDeleteThere is almost no scriptural evidence for this rapture. It's all a bad fairy tale to scare people. And make ooooodles of money.
ReplyDeleteNot all Christians believe in a "rapture." I certainly don't.
I get first dibs on the luxury cars with "Don't let the car fool you, My reward is in heaven" bumper stickers.
