Well at least it's on a Saturday. That's convenient.

jimhelm 05-10-2011 06:51 PM

well, that's a relief. no more bills to pay, etc.

DanaC 05-10-2011 06:59 PM

Fuck!

My meeting with my supervisor is in like, 7 days. That totally fucking blows man.

HungLikeJesus 05-10-2011 07:27 PM

They're just trying to make religious people seem crazy.

Rhianne 05-10-2011 07:40 PM

How will this affect the celebrity death pool scores?

lookout123 05-10-2011 07:49 PM

No points if they don't die.

ZenGum 05-10-2011 08:21 PM

I wish I could meet one of those chaps. "I'll buy your house, right now, for $1,000. You could use the money to print more pamphlets. It's what God wants you to do!"

lookout123 05-10-2011 08:34 PM

I've seen them driving around Phoenix with their ad plastered across their rear windows for months. I felt bad they had to wait so I ran most of them off the road and shot them in the back of the head.

I'm a great teammate for the "Race you to Jesus" contests.

nice plan... but.

The true believers have long since liquidated their assets, and have none to "sell". Though some of the ones I heard on the radio would have taken you up on it back when the had assets.

HungLikeJesus 05-11-2011 07:26 AM

Maybe this explains the bursting of the housing bubble.

glatt 05-11-2011 07:33 AM

If I was able to edit the titles of threads, I'd totally turn this into a countdown type of thing, changing the title each day.

You've got 10 days until rapture.

Saturday? I thought the song "Friday" was a harbinger of the apocolypse!

SamIam 05-11-2011 08:30 AM

The Republican party is going to be pretty hard hit. I predict the Democrats will regain control of the House in the next election.

Spexxvet 05-11-2011 09:05 AM

Party at my house at 5pm May 21st. Bring your own coffin.

wolf 05-11-2011 09:08 AM

whoo hoo, more room for me!

Here's a thought ... suppose they got the date right, but nobody's saved enough to get taken?

HungLikeJesus 05-11-2011 09:41 AM

You mean saved enough to pay the ferry man?

I wish I could meet some of them. Last chance to find out how it feels to take it up the ass! :D

You have a grim view of heaven. I imagine it as a big orgy of people at their sexiness and least amount of inhibitions.

tw 05-11-2011 10:00 AM

So god wants me to have fifty virgins. It's about time. Finding fifty virgins is (as George Jr described it) so harrrrrd.

I always choose to believe the best parts of every religion.

infinite monkey 05-11-2011 10:35 AM

Think about it tw. You start with fifty virgins, you boink one, 49 virgins left. You'll eventually run out of virgins. It's a trap!

infinite monkey 05-11-2011 10:37 AM

What are you all planning to wear? Does Sears have a rapture collection?

virgin with a sturgeon

Trilby 05-11-2011 11:34 AM

That's a dolphin.

footfootfoot 05-11-2011 11:44 AM

A dolphin with dark roots? I don't think so.

why do people think that the monster in lake Champlain is a sturgeon?

It looks nothing like that.

It's clearly a pleisosaur.

Sundae 05-11-2011 11:56 AM

Virgin on the ridiculous.

I wonder if they'll get sucked into the propellers of passing jets the way birds sometimes do.

Pete Zicato 05-11-2011 02:38 PM

Well some of the planes will be falling from the sky due to empty cockpits, won't they? So that should reduce part of the problem.

According to Clod it's a coelacanth (SEEL-a-canth). Which definitely did NOT live in the pre-Cambrian era.

So there.

TheMercenary 05-11-2011 10:02 PM

ok, that chick is hot.

footfootfoot 05-12-2011 07:23 AM

Hello, Merc! What have we been talking about for the past several years?

infinite monkey 05-12-2011 07:25 AM

God damn fools?

footfootfoot 05-12-2011 08:04 AM

I might remind you that while it's now only 9 days to the rapture, it is three days to the fapture, which starts promptly at the stroke of one.

be-bop 05-12-2011 04:53 PM

We're all having a good laugh at the end of days
But what if?..............................................................:eek:

infinite monkey 05-12-2011 05:01 PM

I had a sobering thought. What if, precisely when the rapture starts, it also starts raining men?

Flint 05-12-2011 05:43 PM

There were some folks within recent memory, my grandfather's grandfather, I believe, on what I call "the crazy side" of my family, who believed that the rapture was on a certain date that had been predicted, and there was no reason to plan to have any material possessions past that point.

Obvioulsy, it didn't happen. And for some reason, there continues to be religious people on that side of the family who are (surprise) batshit insane.

This is where I formed my ideas about religious people. I've never met one who isn't, on some level, deeply flawed in a very troubling way.




In my opinion.

The Venn diagram of religious people and batshit insane has some overlap, I'll grant you. But the one is not necessarily the cause of the other.

The folks I sing with in the choir are all full of faith. And they're also some of the nicest people I know.

Ted Bundy was described as "well known and well liked."

I realize this was intended as humor. But you just took a pot-shot at my friends.

lookout123 05-12-2011 09:08 PM

You've been around long enough to know that faith/religion is really the set up to a punchline in the cellar.

I didn't mean to suggest that there was a causal realationship. This is more about the formation of my own ideas.

Funny thing, I've played in many church bands, myself. As a volunteer, not a paid performer. I got along with people very well, and yes there were some nice ones and some not nice ones, just like everybody else.

I even agreed on and shared many of their values, which are all pretty common sense stuff. The point where I agreed to disagree was that something supernatural was required to enforce the supremacy of these ideas.

I've always thought that good ideas support themselves, and don't need "magic" to bedazzle me into following them.

That's just me. I don't compromise on this, at any point, on any level.

OK fine, it's a visual. You got all these people floating upwards, see? Then (as the song goes) it starts actually RAINING MEN, see? They're bound to crack into each other. Bodies breaking and bouncing and splitting in two, blood and guts everywhere, screaming, thrashing, gnashing of teeth. Those of us left behind at once appalled that we are left behind but thinking "but, it's actually raining MEN!"

The rapture is gonna be AWESOME. :rolleyes:

HungLikeJesus 05-13-2011 08:30 AM

But the men that are raining down, those are like rapture rejects?
