Biblical Support for the Pre-Tribulation Rapture

Sorry to butt in, but this is an irrelevant question to an atheist. You're bringing you're belief system to it - if you want to understand how atheists view stuff, you really do need to abandon all your preconceptions about what it is to not be like you.Happy to attempt this but you have to switch off your pre-programming.

Here we go again, you're seeing signs of end times. Gagging for it.And yet again it won't happen, and yet again, like all the other failed prophets, your faith in the end time will be increased by the failure and you'll blather on talking nonsense.Get a life faith, just get a real life. Do something useful with it and try to stop only thinking about yourself and destroying everything for everyone else. It's a really toxic form of narcism.

Which is exactly what you and everyone else has done for 2,000 years. And all of you are wrong and always will be wrong. But somehow it doesn't matter that everyone that has ever claimed to know has been proven not to know. Go figure. Nope. It's never happened and it never will. You'll lose every bet you make on this and I'll take any bet you like.

Having admitted that all previous prophesies of end times have failed, that you personally can't work it out and that all those that claim to have worked it out can't agree on it - how does that turn into hanging together quite nicely'?And how about that bet?

Preachy nonsense, just parroting learnt garbage. I'm interested in why people believe such obvious garbage. The garbage itself is irrelevant. Not if he's the evil bastard in your book I wouldn't.

But you expect it to be in your lifetime? Next 50 years? How long is your 'season'? Another 2,000 years? I'll take any of those and give you odds.

Does it not bother you at all that people have been saying that for millennia? For you guys the end of the world has always been nigh. You see signs everywhere you look, it's completely bonkers. You wouldn't be out of place in a middle ages witch hunt. You're batshit crazy.

Bonkers...

Aha, another silly prediction that I guarantee will fail.So this pope - who is one of the most Christian in my lifetime btw - is 86, how much are you prepared to bet that there will be a rapture in the next, say 14 years? 20 years?

No bet then, your belief doesn't seem as real as mine does it? Time has already told. It was supposed to happen soon after Christ's death. It didn't.And for the last couple of thousand years superstitious primitives like you have been reading imaginary tea leaves predicting that it was just around the corner. Always the signs were there but when it never happened they claim they read them wrong. And it starts all over again. Exactly like you've been doing here over the years.No learning, just a wasted life.Edited by Tangle, : No reason given.

Are we supposed to forget everything you've said that contradicts yourself? I know you do, but you can't rely on others to. Followed by 10 detailed reasons why you thought it was coming with a specific date. You wouldn't bet me then either. Yup, my faith is stronger than yours.

Objective? What? You're making up all kinds of crap out of thin air. Of course you haven't got it right - I personally guarantee it. You're so glib about this stuff - all you care about is searching for silly signs that you're right. It never occurs to you that when it doesn't work out that it's you that was wrong. The history of these things - and there's a huge amount of it going back centuries - is that people like you start by making specific predictions then when they fail - because they always have to - the predictions become imminent but vague.Another thing I can guarantee is that when this new prophecy of yours fails, you won't be rethinking anything but the next pile of nonsense.

I don't think even you could say you were right it didn't bloody happen. Or am I underestimating you? In exactly the same way as Nostradamus predictions are objective, ie. no connection to the word at all. Crap.

So sharp and objective that even you can't actually rely on them can you? Or do you feel brave enough to give us another date to be proved wrong about again?
