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?”
It is so utterly insane that so many humans that I share this planet with are basically in a doomsday cult, and what really gets me is that you’re considered an asshole or an extremist if you ever say something like “I hate the doomsday cult and the people in the doomsday cult are stupid”. You get called intolerant etc etc. You’re damn right I’m intolerant of a bunch of morons who have literally no incentive to care about the long-term well being of our planet and species. Just because the doomsday cultists happen to share the same name for their beliefs as people who are substantially less insane than them does not mean that they get a pass on being insane or that they get to be entitled to the same degree of respect that their less insane counterparts are entitled to.
I’m tempted to say well, at least they also want the Epstein files to be released. But the people with this type of mentality are just going to sit around waiting for some literal miracle to take place to release the files, because they believe in miracles and that’s not an irrational plan of action as far as they’re concerned.
I hate the doomsday cult and the people in the doomsday cult are stupid
By “doomsday cult”, do you mean the very specific subset of Christians that follow the rapture conspiracy theory or all Christians? Because one of those answers is fun and games and the other actually does mean you’re an asshole, extremist and intolerant.
Just because the doomsday cultists happen to share the same name for their beliefs as people who are substantially less insane than them
Yes, the other Christians are who I am referring to here. Although I do believe that the fundamental way of religious thinking (belief contrary to logic) does inevitably degrade into the behavior of the doomsday cult, in the same way that a seed inevitably becomes a plant given the conditions that it latently seeks out. So while I do not hate your everyday type Christian, I do think it is important not to create the conditions that they seek out, as that will result in a hate-worthy entity before long. The particular conditions, I believe, are an environment where they cannot be questioned, an environment where logical thinking is not valued, an unequal ability to disperse their beliefs while others cannot, etc. Given those conditions, harmless beliefs will expand to become harmful beliefs in the same way a liquid conforms to whatever container you put it in. This goes for any kind of belief, not just religious ones. But religion is a smart enough meme to encode the importance of creating that environment as part of its core values, which makes it a belief that is at especially greater risk of degrading into harmful behavior. This much is undeniable, as you hardly ever see people getting in doomsday cults over their favorite type of cheese or other non-religious beliefs.
So no, I don’t mean all Christians, but in the same way that all Christians think I deserve to go to hell in my current state but may still treat me with kindness in hopes of what I may become, I believe all Christians deserve to be treated with suspicion and wariness in their current state in hopes of what they may NOT become. All things considered, I think it’s a pretty de-escalating stance for me to take.
The files need to be released already. That’s one thing I can agree with the cultists with
Fundies think they can force God to do something.
If God existed, he’d be smacking them down hard for this level of arrogance.
Many fundies, especially Prosperity Gospel folks, see God as a vending machine - prayer goes in, whatever you ask for comes out.
Dang they truly believe US is the center of the world. Is absolutely baffling.
its not just christians that are disappointed TBH. I was really kinda hoping they were right this time…
A world without Christians?! Sign me in!
They’re so fucking self-important.
The rapture happened, unfortunately the only guy they pulled up because he didn’t follow proper procedures and suit up, so he’s a stiff now. Still legally fulfilled according to celestial law.
It’s the only possible explanation!
Ah, the old rule of unfounded consequence.
Oh Jesus.
“With God all things are possible… Except the Epstein files, even God can’t help you there.”
I just realized…GOD is in the Epstein Files. Oh, it all makes so much sense now!
It all started with the virgin Mary, then God couldn’t help himself and created Epstein so he didn’t feel so alone in His diddling!
When Jesus said “suffer the children come unto me” that’s not what he was talking about
-Carlin
What if they gave a rapture and nobody left?
What if the rapture happened and the only thing that dissapeared were the Epstein files?
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.
“This was all part of God’s plan.”
What if the rapture did happen but none of them were worthy?
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?
Specifically this dude:
Oh, please no. I so desperately want humanity (and the planet) to be rid of these people.
Then the muslims take their place
Bro is totally not racist and brings up Muslim faith unannounced, fucking weirdo
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?
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???
take it’s place as it’s the
One of those “it’s” isn’t the same as the other.
We are used to him in the UK communities. He’s a well known prat.
That’s not a very nice thing to say ☹️
Hang on lads, I’ve got an idea.
The all new Rapture Drink, now Kool-Aid flavored!
send them all to mars!
Wow, covid was an extremely shitty rapture.
Even with god’s chosen president doing everything he could to get more people up to heaven…
explains a lot tbh.
You know what? Sure. As long as they have a reason to release the files I’m down to support it.
I think if this idea were seeded into the Facebook frenzy that would have been diabolical
