Tribute Thread For the Recently Raptured Faith

As has been said many times before, you're not unique, every generation of fundie Christian has predicted the end is coming and pretty much always in their own time because they think they're special. Just like you do.Here's a list of them going back 2,000 years.List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events - WikipediaThe next one on their list is 9th June 2019, and like all the others it will fail. You'll die waiting Faith.

People have made up the rapture; it doesn't appear in the bible anywhere. Paul talked once about 'meeting up in the air' but he never mentioned it again and it's only a 'thing' for a minority of super-fundies. Really, Faith, you'll believe anything at all that suits your purpose.

A prophesy without timings is not a prphesy. All timings that have been given have failed. Including the only one that mattered which was the 'in this generation' one. That was the one that disproved the entire enterprise.

Your entire belief is based on a desire to be saved, you appear to have no other purpose.

Wow, even atheists? - those diseased and wanton harlots - believe in justice? Fuck me, really? How did the Lord let that happen? What an arrogant, self-righteous prick. Why would you read this crap?Edited by Tangle, : No reason given.

Fixed......again

It's because the message is the universal one of love thy neighbour and do as you would be done by. After that you can go fishing with a free conscience.It's not unique to Christianity, it's got nothing to do with ghosts and gods, it's got nothing to do with floods, goats, churches, religions and being saved; it's about DOING THE RIGHT BLOODY THING WITH YOUR LIFE. HERE AND NOW.If you need me to I'll put that in orange.

We're arguing because your primitive belief system condemns almost all of humanity that has ever been and will ever be to everlasting hell. And that, girl, is total and obvious crap.

You have a mediaeval view of what Christianity says; you're version is corrupt. I'll take one of the other versions, thanks all the same.

I have it the way I want it. You have it the way you want it. That's the beauty of belief, you can believe what suits.What suits me to believe about your God is the message of Jesus, which is - with a few blips - universally good, though utterly derivative and fictionalised. I prefer to think of Christians as decent people trying to live decent lives. My confirmation bias is geared towards accepting the decent bit of the bible and rejecting the horror and blatant immorality. I'd rather think of Christians in a nice way than the way you project them, thanks all the same.

You believe what you've chosen to believe, other Christians have chosen something else. You think you're right, they think they're right. It doesn't matter much, you're all making it up as you go along. Why would you think I believe any of that nonsense? Or any of your nonsense? It made up childish rubbish. But the general Christian message - which is not remotely unique to Christianity - is valid regardless of the crap organised religions have dumped on it; do as you would be done by and loving your neighbour is the kind of thing I prefer to believe that actual Christians believe.

All except you... Your own words deny that. LGBGT, Muslims, Catholics - to name but a few billion 'neighbours' That's certainly true. But then nothing does.

...don't forget Catholics....

And a stranger shalt thou not wrong, neither shalt thou oppress him; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt."

It's one step forward and 50 steps back but it's progress of sorts.Remember Ocams Razor? Introducing a hyoer-complex superior being with magical abilities in order to explain what is explicable without is redundant. Of course god isn't needed for good actions to occur! Even us evil atheists have our nice moments. Well that's obviously garbage in its own right. A pure invention and an really evil one at that. Christ, it couldn't be easier. 'Unless I baptise you, and you join my club you're going to hell'. Where do I sign?Edited by Tangle, : No reason given.

You have a really screwed up, extremist idea of what socialism is. This seems a common thing with Yanks for some reason.The European version of social democracy is a progressive pluralist economic model that has a more equal spread of wealth berween its citizens with a relatively high safety net. It works and it creates the happiest societies we've so far managed as a species.
