    Weird…

    According to the Bible no man, no angel, not even Jesus Christ himself knows when the rapture will be…

    Huge fan of whoever convinced them to blame it on trump not releasing the Epstein files tho.

        “Life was filled with guns and war,” the song begins, “and everyone got trampled on the floor. I wish we’d all been ready.”

        Wow, sounds like we’re already living it today…

      But surely it won’t happen until after God sees those files. They might affect who gets raptured. /s

    You know what? Sure. As long as they have a reason to release the files I’m down to support it.

      Or what if the rapture happened and the only creature deemed to fit the criteria was a single highly surprised but very chill about it capybara?

              What has Islam got to do with Race? I’m just saying that getting rid of Christians won’t make the earth into an atheist haven. Islam will logically take it’s place as it’s the second biggest religion.

              The hell has this got to do with race???

              People of any race can be Muslim. When someone says “Christians are all crazy” do we say that they’re racist towards white people just because the majority of Christians are white?

              So then why is it that when someone implies that Muslims are all crazy we assume that that is racism at work?

              And it’s not exactly a random thing to bring up. Rapture is supposedly going to apply to Christians so even if it did happen, theoretically the Muslims would be left behind, and so in the context of the comic posted that says all the religious wackos are gone, he’s pointing out that they wouldn’t all be gone.

              I’m lost on what is racist about this. Could you please explain?

    Somewhere, one single person was raptured and wondering where everyone else is. No one else noticed their absence. But the rapture did happen.

      The rapture happened ages ago, but none of us went to heaven. We’re staying along for the ride.

          I’m sorry but Chick-fil-A is bland as fuck and I’ll never understand why people love it so much. The chicken is always dry, the sauce selection sucks, and the lettuce & tomato are always warm & soggy. I just don’t get it. Even by fast food standards, the quality is shit. I’ve been to multiple locations and they’re all the same.

      In our era, a new way of winning the race to be the British Newspaper with the most Journalistic Integrity appeared: just stand still as a tabloid with little or no Journalistic Integrity whilst everybody else just runs by you in the opposite direction of “better” on their way to Pure Propagand Outlet.

    Every time the rapture doesn’t happen they seem more convinced that it will happen in the future.

    I really should get into the property market around the time the next rapture announcement comes out because surely they’ll be selling all their houses off right. If you timed it right you could go on a really expensive holiday and save money by not paying for a return flight.

      I think I saw someone selling “rapture insurance” a while a go. Iirc they pay a one time fee to get on a registry and they would go around and collect pets that didn’t get raptured with their owners.

      They are more convinced. “When prophecy fails” was first published in 1956, it’s well documented.

        Oh God, don’t even give them any ideas. I’m already worried with all this symbolism trying to make Charlie Kirk into Jesus they’re going to try and claim he was resurrected at some point.

      My aunt is basically a crazy evangelical, and yes, she thinks we are living in the end times, and wants to usher in the end times faster so she can get to heaven. Its batshit insane.

    You guys, we have the best opportunity. Next time they hold a Rapture, we all just go completely cold turkey silent for like, three days. Let them all think they’ve been left behind. Then we all come back to social media and the rest of the real world on the third day like, “whoa, that was so cool, what was your favourite part of it?”
