Fundies scare themselves thinking every little noise is the Rapture.

Rapture Ready is a Fundamentalist Christian website where they sit around talking about how holy and repressed they all are and about how Jesus is going to show up any minute to take them to heaven. They are all ultra-conservative.

Anyway, I find the insane ramblings of this website to be an endless source of amusement. On this thread they discuss how sudden noises cause them to think Jesus has return.

They have taken the entirety of life and turned it into fear of the boogeyman.

God is a great lover. He won't hurt us.

I like a good scary movie, but I can't stand when they make God the evil monster.

IMO God is only half of it. Since they believe in an active Satan, whose sole purpose is to trick people out of their true virtuous behavior, their worldview breaks down into a paranoid "Satan is behind every corner" thing, which only helps the idea of God the Punisher waiting to condemn for falling for Satan.

For research purposes I tried to read all of the Left Behind books but I had to stop around about the seventh book. What I could not stand was when God sent these terrible locust creatures that stung people. The people would try to kill themselves, but they could not.

Yuck.

In the end I could not justify $20 to watch Kirk Cameron.

It is like a river whose path is so curved that it becomes a circle flowing around and around but going nowhere. The banks of the river that kep the water from getting out are their paranoid view of cloven feet under every curtain. It becomes a self-perpetuating circular argument .

She's become one of the Borg.Sometimes she literally prays on every decision. She actually had to pray to decide whether to come to my wedding or not! She actually had an argument with her husband, which boiled down to her being afraid of going to hell for something he did and she wasn't at all involved in!

They worry so much about hell, they turn their lives into hell with the worrying.

does terrible things to people at the end of the world and that's great because He is God.
It's a crime if someone torches someone else's house, but it's a-okay if God burns billions of people because they don't believe in a particular version of Christianity (not all Christians will be saved, us liberals won't be raptured).

That's bull. God loves everyone, they just want to twist the Bible around...

The OT is a catalog of atrocities. Evil People do evil thinks. Good people do good things. Making good people do evil things requires religion.

"...because they don't believe in a particular version of Christianity..."

Yes, that's an old story. The theological basis for the first great chism in 1054 between the Orthodoxy in Constantinople and Catholicism in Rome was this. Does the Holy Spirit proceed from the Father and Son or just from the Father? Aparently no one in authority cared to ask, "Who gives a shit?"

I see you have the seal for the Episcopal Church. I was once a member which was difficult because I was a teenager. My mother was Catholic as was my step monster and they had coerced my sister into converting. My father used to be Episcopal but became an atheist. I liked the church and the people there and the life messages they imparted. Ultimately, I had to leave because I did not believe in any of that magic stuff-resurrection and whatnot.

I was going to bed but now I have to stay up for a few more hours.

Are those people for real.

Yes and some in the government believe the same shit.

rapture was coming.

I thought there was a fundie in my bedroom.

:rofl: I hope you weren't "1/2 of a married couple" :rofl:

No, seriously, it is. Stay home and wait for Jesus. :)

Nothing spiritual about it. Besides, Diebold will count their votes even if they don't cast then.

It is a regular source of fun. :D

but it was just gas.

:spray:

because all those people are reading that Harry Potter book, and in the bible it talks about how that is one of the signs. (According to a relative, I kid you not).

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Damn! Oops, I sneezed. Must be a sign of the end of the world.

Which will fall off when they're raptured

They try to want it. Since they are so full of self-doubt, however, they are still afraid of it.

As a heathen Democrat, I thought I better prepare myself by reading this book:

JESUS!

Seems some of them thought it was rapture time. Wow.

There's something wrong with saying God gave you life but then hating it so much. And I bet this same person criticizes Muslim terrorists for suicide bombs. Yet these people would suicide bomb us all, figuratively.

While they are praying and wishing they are not doing anything.

:D

:shrug:

Hallelujah!

That's a scientific fact.
