Will you be attending a "Rapture" party? (page 4)

This failed rapture even give that word a bad name. The word Rapture will conjure up images of foolish and weak-minded Christian people.= who wants to wear that label?

Rapture is a biblical principle. Just because a flake burns a Koran and claims to be Christian does not mean he represents Christianity or anything more than a few nutballs. Just because an old guy gets disproportionate media coverage, does not mean that the vast majority of Christians are not cringing and rebuking him. Just because some have gone against Scripture setting dates is not a reason to present a biblical, balanced eschatology or to stop preaching His return for and with the Church in the future.

Rapture prank: Leave clothes and

shoes around town

Posted by Jim at Thursday, May 19, 2011

Desdemona readers outside of the failing U.S. industrial deathkulture may not be aware of the latest doomsday prediction from one of the degenerate branches of American Christianity. It seems that the Holy Bible predicts precisely the date and time of Judgment Day: 21 May 2011, at 6:00 PM local time. Desdemona likes that Yahweh has chosen to stage the event by time zone; presumably there are queueing issues in Heaven’s intake process.

Direct action is always a fun, although often futile, effort to highlight bizarre issues in the Anthropocene, and this action tickles Desdemona’s inner Cosmic Trickster:

Many pranksters plan to leave sets of shoes and clothes here and there on Saturday afternoon, so that fundamentalist Christians might see these abandoned garments and think the real Christians got sucked up to meet the Lord already. This is a very mean prank. Plus, would American Jesus actually allow naked people into His Kingdom? American Jesus is pretty uptight!

I will be attending the rapture with billions of others and it will be a great party, but it will not be this weekend.

We are having a party on saturday, but it has nothing to do with the Rapture. We will be celebrating an Orthodox holiday, the day of the "holy emperor" Constantine and his mother, Helena. And what better pretext to gorge on barbecue and cold beer other than the celebration of 2 pagan emperors that have become worms-manure centuries ago?
