      I am out of the loop. How did today become rapture day? I am having family members being silly about this. How did this even start?

      Well you see the Reasonablists book the park for today because the Ice Cream social was yesterday. So Zorp the Surveyor will come at dawn to eat our faces.

            Today is the Day of Trumpets, which happened to be the day Messiah Yeshua returns in the future, after some things happen. This Jesuit hype happens every year, and they (the Jesuits) will eventually stage a fake Rapture and traumatize those who didn't "make it"... if they hadn't faked a Rapture already.

            One more piece of proof is that the term "Rapture" is nowhere found in the Scriptures. People being taken up has to do specifically with something else entirely (I don't remember it off the top of my head right now). This is from my producer's research on the matter, which I attempted to verify myself.

            Yeah, the whole idea of the Rapture is extra-Biblical. Invented in 1830 by John Nelson Darby.

              That seems to be futurist language that is used, whereas my producer and I are not futurists (for we'd be Jesuit fraudsters if we believed that). It's also found in dispensation theology, which is a pot of crock too.

                  How do you know? Maybe all the true Christians really did get raptured, and that number just happens to be zero. This kind of does seem like hell on earth.

                          It's not. It happened in 1988.

                                It's not. They did the same thing about 5 months ago. I have a religious friend and that was all the talk. Then when it didn't happen, they claimed it wasn't the right time.

                                Essentially, they have zero clue when it will be (because it doesn't exist) and they continue to make up excuses for why it hasn't happened. Religious people do some mental gymnastics that is hard for the non-religious person to understand.

                                Fun fact: The bible says that only God knows when the world will end, so everyone that says they know when it ends is technically comitting sacrilege.

                                    They've been making apocalyptic predictions at least since John the Baptist. Eventually they'll get it right, they just might need a few hundred more guesses.
