The Rapture

Is it okay to kill in the name of God? Can ethics, morals and technology peacefully co-exist?

Yay! So the godly are all finally going to pack up and leave and go some place else - right?

Where will they leave FROM? There might be piles of good stuff left when they go POOF.

Well then, we probably ought to get them to register their whereabouts before the event. I feel a scam coming on.

Hmmm ... just make sure to incorporate in the Phillipines or somewhere a paper trail (info trail) doesn't follow you too closely. You could conceivably take quite a few people on this one. Heh heh heh ...

The religious people all get sooked up into the sky, leaving the rest of us down here? I must say, that does sound like heaven.

I read an article in an actual newspaper this weekend, we still have newspapers in Arkansas, printed on paper. So I don't have a link. Anyway the wacko's were in D.C. handing out brouchures claiming the world will end on May 21, at 6 pm local time. So the world is going end one time zone at a time! I just don't understand how a mind that brilliant can function.

We were talking about that in the office today. Sounds like God's creating extra work for herself, there. Surely it's easier just to point at the entire world at once and say "Right, you lot. Out".

Well, God could first make the world flat (like He should have in the first place). It would then be the same time zone everywhere.

I really reaallly reeeeaaaallllly hope the rapture comes true on May 21st (or sometime soon). (I know this is a vain hope). But I really want it to happen, and for exactly the same reasons as all those fundy whacko christians who believe in it want it to happen. (Its just that I have a COMPLETELY different perspective on those reasons). Doggone it.

Pay unto Ceasar or some such thing.

You're potentially screwed, Old Bean, unless you want to roll the dice and possibly take the hit on a late payment. Of course, that depends on whether you're going to heaven or not, as we all know there's no way a car dealer or a banker are! :lol:

Rapture happened May 21th 2003.

Only the FBI noticed something odd.
There was a slight increase in Missing Persons reports that week.

Well, I'll just wish all you good Christian folks goodby now. Seeing as how I will be bobbing in a pool of lava, my keyboard will probably not work very well, then.

In the unlikely event the Rapture does not occur on May 21 as planned, well. Better luck next time.

As much as I dislike Wikipedia, it's a basic article outlining what happened before. Funny how the people who subscribe to endtimes prophesies don't seem to know their own history.

Which version?

Frankly, I'd like to hear what the world's other major religions have to say about all these natural disasters that many seem to think are coming more and more frequently (I'm not so sure they are) - do they also think this is "The End Times" or just more of the same? Well, I say I'd like to, but I really haven't the time or inclination to be bothered. Sorry, Buddha!

Had a laugh on TV last night about some guy who is convinced May 22 will be judgement day. He also figured out that creation started in 11,013BC.

6pm May 21st here is still 20th on the other side of the dateline. Maybe the powers that be will be doing the judgement in an orderly sequential manner and the people on the 'yesterday' side will get a real-time live news feed on events happening here before they have to deal with the reality of it. Don't hold your breath. 2 days to go and counting.

Will mankind, and all advanced life forms on this planet be destroyed? Of course. A large asteroid will hit us. (unless we use our amazing technology to detect and prevent, rather than waging war) There will be another solar storm

http://www.solarstorms.org/SRefStorms.html

The consequence could be destruction of the electrical grid worldwide. Pretty much the end of civilization, as we know it, for years.

Will a vengeful and capricious God destroy us for His sport on May 21? Should be the least of our worries. :roll:

Well, angels are falling to earth - I just saw it on TV, so it must be true. They seem to be corrupted by some mens' cologne, which is obviously the work of the Devil, Donald Trump and Obama.
