Rapture Tomorrow

[Nannernade]

Tomorrow morning I'm going to wake up open my window and yell How's everyone enjoying this amazing rapture! =D

 

[GodofCider]

Thanks for the advice I'm not quite as nervous as I thought I'd be.

So what if you mess up? The worst that is going to happen is that you can find yourself asking the same person again, or perhaps another.

No use worrying about it.

You know, I have noticed that quite a few people here think that if the rapture really happened it would be a good thing because it would get rid of all the 'loonies' who believe in that sort of stuff, but the problem with the argument is that if the rapture does happen and they do ascend to wherever their bound, wouldn't that make them RIGHT? Is the concept of these people being right not scary to anyone else?

If it did make them right they'd already be gone and wouldn't be able to be smug about it, it's a win win situation

 

[Worr Monger]

Don't worry.... we're going to be ok:

But the overall implication is that we are wrong, which means what? Eternal hellfire and damnation? I'm not so familiar with what is supposed to happen next.

Okay... still here? I must have gotten the wrong religion, or whatever.

It seems like the ol' earth keeps on turning, until that sun of ours go out, or when humankind finally drops the ball on humanity, and commits complete genocide on it self.

Until that happens... I'm going to continue laughing, dancing, prancing and all the other things ending in -ing, until I drop dead on my own accord.

Really God? The whole rapture thing about only taking the holiest and you choose the Macho Man Randy Savage... really?!?

Heh, the reason I'm not worried is that the girl in question kind of already told me she likes me, so this is a bad example

I would love to see his face when he wakes up the next day...
The disappointment would be soul crushing.

Bobbity here, reporting in from Australia. We're almost a good eleven hours into the rapture, and I can tell you that shit all has happened so far.

 

[iamclockwork]

I think I've welcomed the rapture adequately. With a drink and watching "how I met your mother". Your move God.

 

[Drakmorg]

Aww man! I was gonna go see Priest tomorrow!
Kind of ironic that a supposed christian event is going to prevent me from seeing a movie called "Priest"

 

[aashell13]

So, even though this contradicts the bible ("No man shall know the day." "Beware false prophets." "Not even angels know the day."), what do you think?

I think he may have delayed the Rapture by letting us all know it had been planned for tomorrow.

Because here it's been "tomorrow" for two hours now and nothing's happened. Although, to be fair, I don't live by the sea, so I might miss it anyway...

Clearly, he meant the grand reopening of Ryan Industries' glorious underwater theme park and funhouse.

 

[Vault101]

its actually a nice sunny day, not even raining

 

[WanderingFool]

I think that guy is fucking with me. Tomorrow I have my college graduation. So he is basically saying I wasted four years of my life... that evangelical asshole...

 

[roostuf]

if it happens well shit, if not well im going back to my routine then.

 

[WafflesandBacon]

I honestly thought this thread was about Bioshock...

OT: Complete baloney, I'm not worried in the least.

 

[Julianking93]

Ooh! We are going to have a big party tomorrow? What shall we do? ^_^

Indeed we shall! After all the "good" people have been raptured to Heaven, us sinners, heretics and non believers will stay down on Earth and do whatever the fuck we want
Best question; what won't we do? ^_~

It's 21st here already. No rapture in sight. Which is good, I get to finish LA Noire before I get cast down to hell.

Well, actually The Rapture means that the faithful get taken up to heaven before a lot of the stuff from "The Book Of Revelations" happens, which is pretty much your last chance to repent. It's pretty much God and The Devil have their final battle and you get to be in the crossfire, the four horsemen of the apocolypse go charging around, all that stuff. Odds are if you weren't chosen you wouldn't notice anything until at least the 22nd anyway, the end of it transpires in like October by this theory, and that's when if your still consuming oxygen and haven't been saved you get cast down, or perhaps if meek get to inherit the earth which is one of those things I don't quite "get" of course given what's liable to be left of it probably won't be fun to live on.

I'm not saying it's going to happen, I'm just saying you should at least understand the dogma beore dismissing it. Really, to be absolutly sure, you'd pretty much have to be sitting here in five months on the 21st. Right now now when the 21st for Jerusalum passes all you can really say with authority if your still here is that you aren't saved, and were't around anyone that was. Given that this accounts for a very tiny portion of people probably, that may or may not mean much with this still being potentially accurate.

Now, I'm not a deeply spiritual Christian, and I don't quite buy this date, I believe by some beliefs when The Rapture happens your supposed to hear Gabriel's Horn, and Michael's Sword is going to shear the stars from the sky, though I could be wrong about that. That's potentially a sign someone who isn't saved can see to let them know what happened.

Your probably right that nothing will happen of course, especially seeing as no man is supposed to know the date (only god), but at least have the respect to hold off on the levity about a failure until you know... the prophecy has actually failed.

Wait don't tell people to hold OFF on the levity!! I for one come here for the specific purpose of being uh....levitated? What is the purpose of divine spirituality anywho, being bored? Sure has looked that way to me.... I know it's not and I no longer really question infinity or the divine since I can't really figure that stuff out anyway and no one has really ever defined consciousness but who are you to say party's over? I mean you may believe one way but others here (a scary, scary amount actually) worship at the temple of Pinkie Pie, try telling THEM no partying because of some pesky apocalypse! (actually, please DO. I can think of little more amusing than 100 demons screaming and hissing when suddenly happening upon 100 brony high priests dancing towards them armed only with cupcakes and screaming "Candy Bitches!!"

As I said maybe that's not the way you see the battle of Weird vs. Evil going down but I ask you the same question I ask myself whenever I find myself with a sudden urge to swallow my tongue. Who are you or anyone else to say what is right?? I hate to bring it all back to Richard Dawkins brilliant rejoinder to the simple question "What if your wrong?" but it really is true. People's beliefs are based on what their environment is and what makes them feel. You may think a universe ruled by a random, very pink, and totally non-extant equine infinite entity is ludicrous and I for one agree with you, but how much better do you really think all this armageddon non sense sounds to the rational? Bingo, not much better. In fact it sounds no more plausable at all. So me? I'll vote for the outcome where I get to party and see 100 demons make "that" face.
