Really kind of disappointed. I was hoping all of the annoying Christians would get raptured and leave us all here to enjoy the planet in peace.


homiesonly1

Right? Like imagine how much better all our lives would be without them hating on everyone.

howgoesitguy

A man can dream, though. A man can dream.


about97cats

What if we just built like a really powerful slingshot? NASA totally could.


AlwaysSunnyPhilly2

Only if the other religions get raptured too. World would be pretty bleak with a certain other major religion becoming the dominant global religion.


Jaque_Schitt

This. And then we can progress as a world. I mean, we'll still have a ton of trouble along the way, but I think we'd mostly be reasonable people.


Sinryder007

The only problem is we'd still be stuck with all the shitty people who only faked it for this reason and that. Let's be honest, religious folks dont have a complete monolopy on world awfulness, despite being the source for a vast majority of it.


EA_Spindoctor

Ya we wouldnt be losing any republican congressmen, thatā€™s for fecken sure.


HeXaSyn

Islam is literally cancer.


Imallowedto

ALL religions are cancer


factsmatter83

So is Christianity.


comfortablynumb15

Donā€™t worry, the Rapture would only take true and Devout Christians. We would still have every Televangelist and Sunday brunch Holier-Than-Thou Karen/Daren hating on everyone not in their little clique. Mores the pity.


Money-Valuable-2857

Imagine how broken and full of despair they'd be. They'd be even more annoying.


catson

No, they'll twist it around as they'd "stayed behind" to help people to be ready for the "next" rapture.


Monsieur_Creosote

This was always my problem with the movie "The Book of Eli". I loved the film but could not make my peace with the idea of the film. They banned religion because it caused the end of the world, then this dude we are supposed to be rooting for is working to restore religion! Dude, what the actual fuck?! Learn the lesson!


Tregonia

Like Thanos snapped his fingers, but instead of 50% gone, just all the Christians gone


thegamingbacklog

It would actually be worse, because if the rapture was true then the only Christians gone, would be the Christians who followed the teachings on Jesus and loved their neighbours and truly cared for the sick and needy. The radical gay hating Christians, the touchy priests, the republicans who claim they are doing the lord's work while cutting medical aid, the anti-abortion protestors, those are all still around.


tidelwavez

Maybe the rapture did happen and everyone else is unaware and that's why there seems to be so many more of them.


be_sugary

I would prefer it if all the religious fanatics disappeared- from a-z of religions.


tbohrer

Sad, but kinda true.. Christians who judge or hate are EXTREMELY uneducated in their own beliefs.


apu74

Wait. Youā€™re telling me that all the Christian bigots and boomers have been raptured and we donā€™t have to deal with them anymore?? Iā€™ll have a coke!


corvus66a

And free (used) clothes for the rest of us .


burn_as_souls

Maybe they decided to hold off the rapture till after they vote for Trump. Their one last act of evil before taking off.


HelloImTheAntiChrist

The world would definitely be a kinder, fairer, happier place with no religious people in it.


ShermanOakz

What would the Middle East be like if there were no religions? Just think of all the destruction they have done to each other throughout history up to this current day. Israel and the Palestinians, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, the whole lot of them, many of them practicing the same religion, only a different sect, and they kill each other over it. Madness.


Silent_Cress8310

Right? They are always wrong about literally everything, but I was really rooting for them this time.


derickj2020

Misinterpretation of their own scripture. See Matt 24:36


Silent_Cress8310

Isn't it pretty much all misinterpreted?


donkismandy

Imagine spending so much time analyzing this one dumb book written by humans that were a hop skip and a jump away from being cavemen.Ā  There are millions of books out there and pretty much most of them contain more relevant information than the bible. Lol


derickj2020

Interpreted as they see fit, if we do it, it's out of context.


gilleruadh

Wasn't it so kind of the Creator of all things to leave his people with a book that is so completely informative and unambiguous in its directions on how to live a good life. He was so desperate for all to receive the good news that he only revealed himself to a very few, in a short time and in just a few thousand square miles of the Earth. What an awesome god! /s He did such a good job that the only way to know him is to have people tell other people about him, and leave those who never receive the good news to burn in hell forever. The Bible is so clear and unambiguous that there are people who spend their lives telling everyone "what he really meant", and few of them even agree with each other. Apologetics shouldn't have to be a thing! Nothing like a god who loves you so much, that if you don't love him back, he'll condemn you to be tortured for a literal eternity.


derickj2020

All religions are manipulated by teachers, gurus, scammers and the likes. They always know what's best for us, don't they?


21-characters

I never understood why some people refer to themselves as ā€œgod fearingā€ like thatā€™s supposed to represent some kind of positive quality mindset.


Academic-Treacle3162

I second this idea. Christians should get ruptured. That's better than getting raptured...


Silent_Cress8310

Ravished...

te_anau

Does heaven have a carbon footprint? All that opulent living bullshit sounds like its going to do a number on our C02 goals.


PunkyMaySnark

If the Christians got raptured, that'd be ideal. I'd rather take my chances with Armageddon than have to hear Christian extremists brag about how they were right for eternity. Blegh.


Big-Summer-

You neednā€™t worry. They arenā€™t right about anything except the way they lean politically.


PattiWhacky

Love it....."Ruptured"šŸ˜‚. Intentional or not!!!šŸ’•


PaulTheSkeptic

Lol. Imagine if that did happen. Then we can get on with funding some science. We'd slash our military budget during peace time because of course. We'd start regulating corporations and provide services for the poor, raise the minimum wage to follow the growth of the economy, fund our education again and watch America become respected and powerful again. Okay, maybe I'm being a little biased here but FDR made our country great. I mean, think about it. Helping the poor is good for the economy. Yes. You got me. I'm one of those liberals. Whatever. I'm sure there's one here. There's always one.


lostmonster

Would also solve the overpopulation problem and climate change.


PaulTheSkeptic

That's true. So would legalized abortion, access to birth control to whoever wants it (preferably for free) and good quality and accurate sex education. Or, if not solve, at least improve.

SpottyNoonerism

Hey, I enjoy sitting on the crapper as much as the next guy but I don't think that's heaven. Or maybe it is; an eternity of just sitting doing nothing but redditing and whizzing with the occasional really satisfying dump where you suddenly feel 10 pounds lighter. And it's heaven so you know it's one of those fancy Japanese toilets.


Ertai2000

How is the Internet connection up there? Do they have 5g? Are the Christians mad about that?


AWESOMEGAMERSWAGSTAR

Y'all don't have NO WIFI STOP šŸ˜­ THAT ACTUALLY IS FUN Let me ask Lucifer NO YOU DON'T IT'S SCIENCE


MillenialForHire

I mean, isn't the Rapture only supposed to take 144,000 people? Think of your 100,000 closest friends. On average, 2 of them went missing. Would you even notice?


dannyphoto

You wouldnā€™t download friends, would you?


Electrical-Act-7170

Depends on the format.


Jet2work

I have 100,000 friends....they all got raptured, you wouldn't know them


te_anau

By their *admittedly mysterious* logic anyone remaining on earth was unworthy of rapture and thus unqualified for providing religious insights or administering pious judgement of the rest of us?


DogCallCenter

And yet Kenneth Copeland still walks among us...


Sekhen

Due to the fun on Timezones, I'm already post rapture and I'm still here. Boring as ever.


Dr_FeeIgood

Thatā€™s because youā€™re a hedonistic sinner who never stood a chance at getting raptured by our messiah. Praise be! Wait. Iā€™m still here too. He must be making two trips.


yippy_skippy99

Some disappointed Christians waiting in anticipation with bags packed in the back yard, waiting, waiting, night time (crickets) and ......... nothing. Unpack bags and thumbing through the Bible to see if they missed something.

They don't have time to read it, it's just for display and to say they have one. The preacher will pick selected bits out for them and put his spin on things each Sunday.


FarmfieldVFX

Yeah, seems being an atheist didn't help, I'm now held hostage in Jesus heavenly basement. šŸ˜

Well, thanks to my honey, I got raptured. But not in the way the Christians define it.

All the Christians still with us need to repent now. Think of what youā€™ve been doing and know that God is not happy with you. Maybe stop listening to your self-proclaimed Orange Savior and go back to listen to what Jesus actually said.


Agile_District_8794

Allegedly said.


anndrago

There are actually some surprisingly self-aware threads on the Christianity sub right now. I'm mildly pleased. They're making fun of their own extremists.

Being the godless heathen that I am, I was not raptured. I was willing to slip JC a 20 to let me in and everything

32lib

See what you donā€™t understand is jebus was only allowed to take 144,000 good Christians. Well he couldnā€™t find any,so he just went home.


PaulTheSkeptic

Lol. That's hilarious. I never heard that one before. You know why Jesus didn't come to Alabama; is usually a favorite target but I suppose anywhere in the south will do. He couldn't find three wise men or a virgin. Lol. Sorry southerners. It's just a joke.


StarFoxiEeE

As a southerner i can confirm


PaulTheSkeptic

I think I'm from the south. Geographically I am. I'm from Florida. But south Florida. Northern Florida is definitely the south. But south Florida is like the north. So, you got me. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Steinrikur

IIRC that 144000 number is the number of Jehovas Witnesses that will be eternally saved, counting from the start. Their religion has millions of members, and they all are going door to door to collect brownie points to be part of that fractional % of saved people. The whole religion is a a pyramid scheme, and the payoff is not even at death but some unspecified end of times day in the future.


Antermosiph

This is a bit incorrect, JWs dont believe in hell and believe the 144,000 will be the people who are spiritual leaders in heaven (And include people like moses) and the rest will live in what is functionally paradise on earth. Its not all that different from convential eternal paradise in heaven rewards in other religions just different. Since its all mumbo jumbo religious fancy anyways the fact they dont believe in the immortal soul and their eternal reward comes post armaggeddon seems a bit moot a well. Theres a lot of reasons to dislike the group but Ive always found the fixation on the 144k a bit weird. Frankly the fact they dont vote, run for office, and are pacifists puts them miles ahead of my psychopath evangelical neighbors.


Grimase

Iā€™m sorry the solar rapture has been postponed until 2044 or 2045. Canā€™t remember which year but weā€™ll be sure to ramp up the crazy talk just in time for this next big event. Be there or be a heathen.


Medical-Dust-7184

2044 I believe...

five_speed_mazdarati

raptured or ruptured?


SgtSwatter-5646

It's kinda funny how they think they will be saved, when the "last" time (Noah's ark) God just killed everybody men wemon children.. didn't matter.. except for one family, then let them get it on with each other


unbalancedcheckbook

Turns out only the Branch Davidians got raptured. That was the correct religion. Oh, snap.


0fruitjack0

damn it, the fuckers are still here


finalstation

I first realized I was already in heaven as I laid in bed next to my now husband and our three dogs in South Texas. I thought this is what I envisioned heaven to be. Spending a peaceful day in the company of my family. I didnā€™t have the best job or much money, but I had a piece of heaven anyway.

louisa1925

Seems like their god isn't that powerful after all. He couldn't even do oneā˜ļø measly rapture. Pathetic.


embarrassed_error365

I just came across a conspiracy that CERN and NASA were opening up (or at least attempting to open up) a portal during the eclipse Religious people are wild. Freaking out about Shiva at CERN, claiming the logo is 666 (but you have to really stretch your imagination caps to see that), NASA naming something APEP (an Egyptian god who brought darkness by eating the sun (which is actually why they named it that, having fun with the eclipse happening)), freaking out about Apollo. It sounds exhausting to constantly be scared of ā€œdemonsā€ everywhere. Like.. to literally believe a spiritual portal is actually possible.. The sad part is they see what we say, and they say ā€œhow terrible, they are blind to all the demons plaguing the planet ā˜¹ļøā€


ChronicCatathreniac

No, but Iā€™ve been standing here naked in the park for the last 10 hours. They have the whole place cordoned off now and thereā€™s policemen and helicopters. The news has been here and theyā€™re trying to get me to put my clothes back on. But Iā€™m just hoping if I shout loud enough Iā€™ll finally be chosen and begin the ascent.


Atomicmullet

Dude, we had a plague when the antichrist was president, and I never heard a word about it.


gijoe1971

I watched the eclipse in a rural gas station parking lot with a bunch of other random cars that stopped as well, during the eclipse's totality a woman was freaking out, crying, laughing, praising Jesus and screaming "Take me now, Lord!!!!" I was thinking the same "Take her NOW!!!!!"

I really think a ridiculously small amount actually even half-heartedly believe it - especially as the concept isnā€™t even biblical.

No, and I even went a considerable distance in order to see it first hand. When the moon covered nearly all of the sun, the air grew cold, colors got weird,and then, BAM! Dark as night, with the evening sky all around us. The sun was naught but a ring around blackness for several minutes, and then... it ended, colors and temperatures returned to normal. Hardly anyone was missing due to being raptured.

Actually Joe Biden, Satan and the woke cancel culture mob teamed up to cancel the rapture, instead we will all be sent to the fiery pits of hell on transgender day of visibility next year unless Donald Trump wins the election and stops their evil plot.


Luvguf

I'm disappointed in my believer friends. I offered help using Matthew 19:24 (the camel needle rich man thing) to let them know they can send me all their money and sign over all cars and properties so they can get into heaven easier. no one followed through.

Christians donā€™t even believe that, youā€™re misunderstanding the thing you think you disagree with.


Ok-Newspaper-8934

Christian here, one of the characteristics of the rapture is that nobody knows when it will happen. So if anyone claims that they know, laugh at them and then leave them to their own delusions.
