I don't know how do people still believe in these fairytales, but there seems to be an idea about how the most faithful christ believers can escape the "tribulations" (Read:the upcoming NWO "Rape of man" where you just roll over and die) before they come if they are faithful enough.
Don't delude yourself.
The only people who survive the upcoming mass worldwide Dark Ages are the ones who know how to evade government and survive as the outside rest of the world goes to bloody hell.
It happened in Cambodia that everyone who survived got the fuck out of Cambodia years before the Khmer Rouge took power. It happened in Russia where if you didn't run years before the October Revolution you just die. Do not expect it will be different this time. If you are in ground zero at year zero, Jesus doesn't turn you into a holy paladin. You just die.
I dunno who spread this rapture thing, but whoever spreads it clearly wants the easy way out of the upcoming death and destruction that will engulf the world.
Just because people have died from atrocities doesn’t mean a religious idea is wrong. Can you prove the Rapture isn’t going to happen? I’m not sure what your point is but you seem to be very afraid of death. It’s really not a big deal, you just die and move on to the spiritual world. You can’t honestly believe we die and that’s the end of it, right?
I agree with you on that last bit. I refuse to believe that when I die its the end. Im sure its the end of whoever I identify as, but something has to go on. I suppose if it werent for all the dreams I may not believe in souls, but even if I didnt. At the very least the atoms that make up your physical body will go down the line and be used in something else. Just like how were all being constantly made up of recycled bits of stardust and other dead things. Quite a mindfuck really.
But the rapture? Do people believe they are going to magically get resurrected and beamed into heaven? Yeah my grammy paid like 50k for one of those stupid ass concrete vaults. Blows my mind. My whole life she was fascinated with my obsessions with aliens, she was intense and at 98 was still open minded. Kinda shocked me she wasted her money, she coulda gave my uncle a even bigger inheritance.
Maybe the jews have it right. Didnt they build landing pads for when new jerusalem lands to take the worthy away from hell on earth? I learned this in college, and verified it at some point about 15 years ago. Been scrubbed off the internet since, but ill bet its common knowledge there.
Reminds me a bit of the hopi story about their spider woman.
