Could you imagine if the Rapture really happened on Saturday and all those evangelicals got sucked to to the sky and left the earth to us? What kind of a world would we who are left behind experience?
Who would try to ban books in libraries? Who would make idiotic “challenges” to evolution and otherwise actively attempt to drag public education into a practically pre-literate state? Who would obsess over controlling everyone’s sex lives? Who would protect the pedophiles? Who would teach impoverished people around the world that family planning—the simplest and most important tool they have to gain control of their own lives—is evil? Who would use fiction as an excuse for bullying? Who would steal from the poor in an insane extortion racket and then build an immense palace to celebrate their own wealth?*
Please, please go to heaven, you radical, regressive Christians. The fields of science, education, the arts, and health care are begging you to go away. Politics would be better if you disappeared. The world would be a more peaceful place. I cannot think of one way in which my world would be worse if you all went to heaven. I can think of dozens—probably hundreds—of ways in which my world would be better.
Fucking go, already.
* Okay, this last one isn’t a strictly religious problem.
yes. I was thinking somewhat the same thing recently. it would be a real slap in the face of a vengeful God is those left behind developed a truly empathic society that prospered well beyond anyone’s expectations. especially those pretentious assholes that thought the world would descend into chaos without a bible to tell us what to do.
that would be super-awesome.
Well said, Sir.
Demonstrable proof that God/Heaven/magic actually exists and that all of this bullshit was CREATED would make my world 100% worse.
Gene Roddenberry had it right. The only thing that will unite our species is a global world war that decimates our population and then absolute evidence of extraterrestrial life we can go on to make war with.
You are all assuming that the assholes who do all of that stuff practice what they preach. Those d-bags aren’t going anywhere.
Can’t say I agree with your view at all Paul.
People should be actively engaged with these kinds of Christians showing them there is no biblical basis for their beliefs.
Extremists who engage in this type of cult like behavior it’s only a matter of time when they shift from waiting for the Rapture, to purposely trying to bring about the end of the world because they think Jesus will return.
Fuck to the yes.
But wait—if the rapture really happened, I fully intend to go, and believe me, you’ll miss me! But then again, the bible says we can’t know the day or the hour, so I’m really confused about what these peoples’ deal is…..
You people are crazy…the rapture happens tomorrow, 3pm sharp. Except, it will be all the gay people, and me. Put your glitter on, were outta here. Toot toot ahhh Beep beep.
I am SO going to miss you, Kirk Cameron!
there was a typo it is Raptor RUN !!!!!!!!
Unfortunately for us all, Howard Camping’s prediction only calls for the rapturing of 200 million people; merely 3% of the world’s population. Effectively, the things you rally against would continue in full force.
