in perfect peace and bliss leaving the hate mongering, torture loving, Rush Limbaugh 'ass kissing' right wing nut jobs behind.

31. The site claims that there are astronomical signs prove 100%
that the seven year tribulation will end in fall of 2015, therefore, the rapture, which if IIRC, sets off the tribulation, must occur this fall. Their math isn't even right. The end of 2015 - 7 = end of 2008, not 2009. :eyes: Perhaps they've been 'left behind' & don't even know it.

I can't believe people believe this crap. :banghead:

9. When I was teaching school in SC,
Edited on Mon Sep-21-09 07:30 AM by Are_grits_groceries
my students came into class all buzzed up because the Rapture was coming that day.

I gave them the skank eye and said,"Let me put it this way. At the end of the day, I hope either I'm gone or all of you are."

13. Mmmmmkay....
...I just looked at the site and it states that 'Astronomical signs prove 100% that the 7 year tribulation will end in 2015'

OK... by my math, 7 years from NOW would be 2016....

Maybe this is some sort of new math brought on by the Rapture.

16. I've been hearing this crap for over 30 years!
Idiot family members keep telling me they are going to be raptured. Of course, the same idiots swore up and down that Sadat was the Antichrist, then it was supposedly Pope John Paul, Now they swear it is Obama.

I remind them that the antichrist is:

RONALD=6
WILSON=6
REAGAN=6

Doesn't shut them up...

Reagan as Antichrist, it makes sense.

Still, "end of the world" scenarios are a time-honored tradition among the religiously insane.

32. Sure glad I caught up on my recorded TV shows last night.
From the site, I wonder about this line: "After listening to the following MP3 and watching the videos on the following web page, I got “real” with Jesus. My perspective shifted from the things of this world to eternity and my prayer to The Lord was for Him to maximize the time left on this earth to lead the most number of souls to Jesus for salvation as possible. I also told The Lord that I wanted the maximum amount of treasure in Heaven (with the biggest mansion) as possible."

So the difference between wanting stuff here and wanting stuff there is what, exactly?

35. According to Harold Camping
He has it pinned down to May 21, 2011. He has convinced a lot of people that this date is accurate.
He broadcasts on "Family Radio".

36. Sort of reminds me of
good old Charlie Brown, waiting year after year in the pumpkin patch for the Great Pumpkin to appear.

The Fundynuts keep saying this or that is going to happen, and it doesn't, but that never keeps them from believing it's really really going to happen someday.


Y2K was a pretty good example of some idiocy. I have a couple of friends who believed every single scary prognostication there was. When all the horrors that were supposed to happen didn't happen, they then looked on the bright side and decided that it really wasn't a bad thing to have barrels full of beans and rice and other stuff that would likely go bad before they could eat it since there are only two of them.

Someday, they claim, they're going to need it when society fails and law and order break down and ravaging hordes roam the streets preying on the innocent, blah blah blah.


Just like Charlie Brown, there they are, waiting in the pumpkin patch.

:eyes:

Another bit of idiocy and hypocrisy...


they don't trust science unless it backs up something they're trying to prove...

so they're using the science of Astronomy to "prove" that the Rapture is imminent...

I could see if they were using Astrology, but Astronomy?


sick bastards... :rofl:

38. If these idiots want to rapture, they can do it themselves and leave the rest of us out of it!
I suggest a length of garden hose, an enclosed garage and a running automobile.

They get to suffer a bit before they rise to Heaven, and they'll probably get extra Martyr points.
