Topic: The Rapture (Read 2951 times)
In scholarly circles that study the Bible, they say that this kind of stuff is an 'allegory'; meaning not literally true. So, from that pov, we can say that with the collapse of Christian religious influence, the Rapture already happened, and we are the ones 'left behind'!
Rapture is true.
And I was looking forward to what currency they use in Hell ='(
why they should use different ones?more likely they introduced popular exchange/acquisition outside Hell.
like Gold'/Silver, for example.
And I was looking forward to what currency they use in Hell ='(
Probably like the dollar with a different name. But they may have worse, dollar seems more like purgatory to me.

I'd say there are a lot more Christians willing to impose Creationism on our education system than there are Muslims willing to die for their religion. And if you think self-described Christians are not capable of being as crazy as a crazy Muslim think again. Even Osama Bin Laden wasn't fighting a war about religion. See this and this. And then look at the CIA's statements and also the 9/11 Commission Report. You're right, it's about behavior from an individual, not necessarily that individual's association with a group. So Osama Bin Laden and anyone else who associates themselves with Islam is not necessarily bad, but once they do something bad, it's not about looking at what group they belong to, but rather the individuals themselves.
Unfortunately, as a Christian myself, I must agree with this.
Actually the most reliable theory I found about that in 94 was sort of:
«Because you were fooled, you tend to stick up with those who were fooled along with you. This comes from the fear of face the mocking of others.
Therefore, once fooled the first time those guys evolved to an even more fanatic and closed way of follow Camping's religion in order to stick with their group of fools.»
It's not that uncommon to see this sort of behavior on 419 scam victims, as some tend to fall into the "scammer rehash" later on.
Interesting... probably very true. «Because you were fooled, you tend to stick up with those who were fooled along with you. This comes from the fear of face the mocking of others.
Therefore, once fooled the first time those guys evolved to an even more fanatic and closed way of follow Camping's religion in order to stick with their group of fools.»

What I find amusing, this same guy made the same predictions in 1994 hahaha, yet the sheep still believed his for the 2nd time.

Now it's 21th October... my bet is that God bough some bitcoins and is expecting it to raise to 10USD before sell out and end the World...
But, really, this Harold is playing "Armageddon baseball"? 2 strikes and still want to go on 3rd attempt? Or will he keep "Camping" on random dates as long as someone still believes him or he's alive (whatever happens first)?

I'm way more against Islam than Christianity, Distribution. Not because what those crackpot written books says, but because Muslims are still more "too sticky to Quran" then they should. It's like they stop somewhere in the XV Century.
For me is all a matter of behavior, not Mythology. I'm OK with Muslims that already have a "lesser" Mythology-bs-filled version of Islam, as I'm not quite OK with Christians believing on Biblical Mythology, specially when they try to impose BS in schools like "Creationism".

So why I am ain't in hell yet
subtle isn't it I tend to believe many Christians, specially the moderate ones, aren't quite aware of "what the Bible" says, specially when it comes to the Old Testament.
OT a wholesale of bloodshed and biased morality!

Very true. I had a guy trying to make me hate Muslims as much as he did by showing me a video of some Muslims supposedly stoning a 12 year old girl for refusing to marry an old man. He said it was Muslim custom. I guess he didn't realize that it says the exact same thing in the bible, to stone disobedient children. I also saw a girl at work chastising a guy for "trying to establish communication" (literally, talk) to a girl, because she said he was Christian and couldn't do that. Within 30 minutes, prosperity gospel must have kicked in, because she was talking about buying 800 dollar boots.
One thing I respect in any association is the education of it's members. I don't like when people pay lip service to the Bible and have no idea what it says, same with the constitution, the Quran, anything. But I have Christian friends who really know what the bible says, and I really respect them.

So why I am ain't in hell yet sharing places with recent victims of demonic armies? 
I guess the devil doesn't really exists and some Christians are really just nuts.
Or, there are a handful of extremists who actually believe crap that is completely contradictory to what the Bible says, while they bask in the media attention.I guess the devil doesn't really exists and some Christians are really just nuts.
They aren't Christians - they don't even believe in everything the Bible says...
No, they are extremists specifically because they truly believe in everything the bible says.
Thanks for sharing! That was f8ing awesome. Too bad the christians are still here
