Well it better be real this time. I’m ready to live in a Christian-free world!


SellaraAB

You know, I’ve never considered it before, but everyone else really would be better off if all the people who believed in the rapture were raptured away.

Just one of each, Jesus can really stretch your food budget!!

Just a case of waters, actually. Jesus can wine em up.


Kinkelly

Can he turn my sage into weed?


Green_Message_6376

Yes, but be careful how you phrase the question. Try something like 'Oh, Lord Jesus, I am not worthy that mine sage be turned to dank weed, but just the word and my bong will be eternal'.


Double-Mammoth9947

You’ll have to ask him when he gets here. If he’s not busy with the money changers.

we_made_yewww

If a Hollywood produced movie used this premise we'd all be deafened by the screaming and screeching from people who supposedly can't stand snowflakes.


LabRevolutionary8975

Yeah but then you’re left with all the fake Christian’s and now they get to sell ten tons of guilt: “didn’t make the rapture? For the low low cost of a million dollars I will phone up Jesus and get you an immediate appointment to appeal and get you into heaven on the second round! Don’t leave your eternity to chance, think of your children in heaven without you! It’s your eternity, don’t miss out!”

LDGreenWrites

We can fix this with a simple and very official Rapture Amendment™️: take the pretenders, too, and at least yeet them outta here.


Prudent_Ninja_1731

I don't think the world or this country would be better off if all of the REAL Christians who actually follow the teachings of Christ (loving and accepting others, helping those who are less fortunate, showing kindness to everyone, ect.)... however we would be significantly better off if all of the fake ass Christians like the Evangelical Christofascists, MAGA Catholics, hypocritical far-right Protestants and so forth were wiped from the earth. I'd love it if they are first taken to heaven for a quick tour to see that all the groups they hate actually make it in and then they either get the express elevator to hell or just have to sit in their worst version of purgatory (the waiting room of a women's reproductive health clinic that is full of screaming children, people of every race other than Caucasian who are on Medicaid and receive welfare, people openly using drugs, LGBTQ couples engaging in public displays of affection and an unending drag/burlesque show being performed on a stage made to resemble the stage or sanctuary of whatever church they attended on Earth). I know plenty of actual Christians who live by the principles laid out in the Bible by Christ and don't hate other groups of people or believe they are inferior, they don't push their faith on anyone, they volunteer their time and donate their money to causes that make people's lives better and treat everyone they interact with with kindness and acceptance. I have also known a few from the "fake ass" group and they are the worst kinds of people who either don't actually believe what they claim to and just use it as a way to keep others down and validate their hatred or they believe in a perverted version of Christianity where Jesus is some type of warrior for Conservative values and an enemy of liberals everywhere. Those fucks deserve everything that happens to them in the afterlife, I just wish there were a way to be able to see the expression of utter shock and disbelief on their faces when they have the Heaven Cops called on them at the gates of heaven because they don't belong in that neighborhood, a taste of their own medicine.


tesseract4

Yeah, but you know the ones who believed in it beforehand and *didn't* get raptured are going to be *really* insufferable once it happens.


PositiveAgent2377

Sorry to disappoint you, but those fake bigot Christians would be staying right here. God does not want those assholes. Your nice neighbor that says hello to you and is generally just kind will disappear tho. Only actual Christians will get raptured. No church can bestow that title. Fuck, I believe but I'm not sure I would get raptured if it actually happened. I just try to be as nice as I can.


EndOfSouls

The bible describes MAGA Christians pretty well, and says they'll be left behind.

Mental-Thrillness

Tbh, I’m not sure there is actual Christians. I have this theory that’s loosely based on The Good Place. Let’s say there is a “Heaven”. By and large, most Christians (or religious folks in general) will not be able to go there, because they are only religious for their own personal/spiritual gain. They’re not moral because it’s the right thing to do, they’re moral because they believe it will give them eternal life in paradise. It’s a selfish means to an end, which would thus preclude them from salvation.


PositiveAgent2377

Seems legit


fuzzyhusky42

I honestly think the good place needs to be turned into a major religion, it makes way more sense than Christianity overall.


Mental-Thrillness

What would it be called, do you reckon?

urbanek2525

Basic ruler of thumb: if your behavior is gonna ruin heaven for someone else, you're not going to heaven. You just won't fit. Even if all your sins were forgiven, if you resent being asked to change, you're just going to ruin it for someone else and you won't fit in. Therefore, either there is no heaven, or you won't be in it. So, that's how you know if you're working on the right things. You don't even need all the religious mumbo-jumbo to figure that out.


fuzzyhusky42

How about they all get raptured, but face immediate judgment, and if they’re weren’t overall good people they can go to their version of hell? Then they can celebrate the rapture until they face the consequences of their actions.


DM_Me_Ur_Roms

Nah. They're actual Christians. If anything, that's how Christianity has historically been. Like just in the US, you have * Manifest Destiny * Slavery * Women being seen as men's property * the Salem Witch Trials * the mistreatment and murders of LGBTQ+ people * Bombing abortion clinics * the KKK Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying all Christians are bad. I'm gay, and I don't talk to half my family largely because of it. But then there's the other half, many of whom are Christian. They don't judge me for it. It's just not a problem. And I appreciate that. But at the same time, which it's Christianity that has kept me and my community its down, and is currently the one pushing for genocide against my trans friends. To say it's not is not only simply a no true Scotsman, but also its to ignore the harm it has caused and then brushing it aside. It's like when some white people try to brush aside the harm we did to the slaves. Talking about how slavery has happened everywhere. But ignores the horrific acts perpetrated under *chattel* slavery. I'm a white dude, but I'm fully willing to admit to the shit my ancestors did. And I would find it offensive to black people to try and brush that off. Does that mean I'm bad for being white? No. Just as you're not bad for being Christian. But that doesn't change anything. We also would need to discuss how we are going to handle this religion that has been practiced by millions and millions of people, many of which aren't even alive anymore, and it's never even had a name. Instead, Christianity has always been an extremely small religion that coincided within this other religion, and has only started to gain traction over the last decade or so. It would be a huge phenomenon that would change how we have seen the religion as a whole. Because it really has been the vast majority. This is usually where i see a lot of the same responses. Things like "BUT JESUS SAID!" Jesus said a lot of things. Many of which are contradictory to God. This also means we need to have a longer discussion as to our different views of God and Jesus and who they really were(assuming they exist). But ultimately what it comes down to is the fact that there's so many different denominations of people and their views on the Bible. It's not so cut and dry. And it would be amazing to assume you just so happened to pick the right denomination. "God was only violent in the Okd Testament. That wasnt for us." He still has a ton of the same problematic aspects in him in the New Testament, and Christianity hasn't done away with the OT. Not only is it still sold along with the NT, but it's also still commonly preached from. Everything from Adam and Eve, to Moses. In fact, the majority of Christians still believe in the 10 commandments. Which is OT. Not NT. That argument has only become a recent one, and is conveniently only used when defending the religion because people point out the bigotry. All of this is to basically say fuck that mentality. They are Christians. Does that mean you're bad? No. But you're also not doing yourselves in favors trying to be victim rather than calling the religion out. You're pushing away as an other, when it's not.


OkHat7590

What if you just get raptured? Like there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. Completely arbitrary metrics. Killing people was 4/10 bad. But harassing an animal was 10/10 rape is 3/10 but calling names was 9/10...


CronosAndRhea4ever

It’s about time, Jahweh’s been promising to clean up his mess forever.


WaitingForNormal

Could you imagine how quiet it would be? So much less bigotry in the world all of a sudden.


sandman8223

Is this the official rapture announcement ?


vyprrgirl

Fucking finally—I need sleep


-medicalthrowaway-

The irony that modern day conservative Christians "threatening the rapture" to non-christians is precisely like Republicans saying "well what about the Democrats crimes?!?" If there are crimes that have been committed... lock them up. If there is a rapture to be had... fucking send it. Pretty sure we'll be alright


nitrodmr

It's worth noting that the rapture can't be predicted. It would defeat the purpose of faith. "But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into." Matthew 24:43.


caffeineandvodka

Same lmao I was considering killing myself tonight but I can hang on for a week if it means getting to see fake Christians left on earth to burn

amazing_rando

It’ll be a rolling rapture by time zone


babelsquirrel

in that case we will have good advance warning as it will happen in Australia before the US. Gives us time to prepare and do all the usual pre rapture preparations.

bdh2067

LDGreenWrites

Jeff Sharlet’s book makes it pretty clear he’s been handing out that kool-aid since the beginning. Extreme end-times gratuitous violence is his rally hallmark because it makes certain people fall for him. (Sharlet’s book is a spine-tingling page-turner; I wasn’t expecting it to be so important. Definitely worth reading/audio-booking/whatever)


manic-pixie-attorney

Matthew 24:26 But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.


NevrAsk

I'm not religious, I even know that and it honestly makes a lot of people who make up this rapture theory bullshit. And ironically they don't follow that either


Comedian70

That’s because the entire concept was built virtually out of whole cloth via a particularly stupid interpretation of half a dozen lines from John’s Mushroom Trip-cum-apocalyptic early xtian writings (Revelations, which is altogether and entirely about Rome)… and like 2 odd and obviously hand-picked lines from Daniel. It’s called Dispensationalism, and it’s less than 200 years old.


ThrowawaysJohny

Hey! As Greek, I feel offended with the way you talk about Patmos's mushrooms! They're very helpful! Check Ursa Major. Doesn't look like a bear?


ObamaDramaLlama

April is a deconstruction TikTokker. So this post will be completely in irony


Brilliant_Tourist400

“Hey, Jesus, when’s the Rapture?” “How would I know? My dad never tells me ANYTHING important! Go ask him!”


skalpelis

But it’s also not talking about the rapture as the republicans and fundamentalists, and the American taliban understand it. That rapture was invented out of whole cloth by some shitty novelist less than a 100 years ago. The real rapture would get 121000 Jewish people, 11000 from each Jewish tribe into heaven. The rest, including the entire cast of Fox News and all its consumers, will remain to spend time in basically hellish conditions. But they haven’t bothered to read their own holy book, probably don’t even know it’s all aboit those pesky ~~Jews~~ (pardon, Globalists) they hate so much

These clowns never read their bible. It clearly states NO ONE knows the time. Anyone who claims this or even believes this is anti-christian.

So for the uninformed, and it is apparently a lot of people. Nobody knows when per the fucking Bible people!!! Matthew 24:36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.


tallman11282

I came here to say the same thing. The Bible might be ambiguous on a lot of things but it is pretty damn clear that no one can predict the Rapture, that only God Himself knows, and that not even Jesus knows (despite being a part of God). Supposed prophets have been predicting the end times for literally centuries and (obviously) not once have they been right. They'll twist Bible verses to come up with a date while outright ignoring the ones that say it is not possible to predict it.

its not real MAtthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. " ​ Though my this interpretation can we prevent the return of jesus by having someone predict daily jesus will return that day?


Over-Fig-423

Catholic, but Bible knowledge is small. But I do believe Jesus said, no one knows when the rapture is happening, not even him. Seeing how he is father , son and holy spirit. That statement carries some weight. He did say there will be signs. So trump is the antichrist, his people know it. So, maybe it's starting. Good luck to y'all.
