Stop being horrible, you insane religious people. D:

Okay, okay, I was willing to laugh at this whole 'world ends on Saturday' crap, until a news story today. One of the insane people who actually believes that is having his pets put to sleep today. Because, you know, the world is ending tomorrow.

D: D: D:

At least the guy says "that he intends to wait until the earthquakes hit Denver before he starts killing his pets" so maybe, maybe he actually means that.

This guy has serious mental problems, someone should be looking into getting him some help.

I thought the point of the rapture was that everyone got killed anyway, only the righteous ones got saved and the rest didn't. So what's the, for lack of a better word, reasoning behind killing the pets in advance?

In other words: this is one of the most insane things I've ever heard.

I have zero idea. Maybe he thinks he's being kind, killing them with an injection instead of however it is we're all going to die tomorrow?

Not quite.

The rapture is when Jesus sucks up all of the faithful so they don't have to sit through the tribulation, plagues, wars, and general, "Seriously, I am going to fuck your shit up before kicking all of you assholes into Hell. And this time we're locking the door."

TECHNICALLY they 'die', or at least their mortal bodies do, their souls just get hoovered up.

They get to watch.

And anyone who makes it through all of that without once cursing God (in fact, IIRC, you're supposed to thank him for it because you're an asshole and had it coming. You jerk.) as things like locusts eat your face and you get all manner of boils, diseases and other assorted unpleasant fun, you get in just for being that bad ass (or that good of an ass kisser).

In the end, Earth turns into a huge gated community of white and gold.

I'm pretty sure there's no internet.

I learned that from the Simpsons!

Also, I caught a new ep last weekend and I was very embarrassed to learn a new sex term from the Simpsons! Gah, when all their humor and such is so old! "Key party"!

Very important to note: the whole rapture thing has no biblical basis. There was no idea of 'The Rapture' until the 18th century, and most records show the teaching started in America.

So even among very religious people, most think The Rapture is bullshit.

Yeah! I was listening to a story about that today.

WELL GOOD THING SO I GUESS WE'RE NOT GOING TO ALL DIE TOMORROW
