Theists raptured one by one?
Are some theists actually being raptured one by one?
Hear me out.
With the influx of new members to the board I have noticed a few discussions being abandoned by some theists when the arguments gets a little 'dicey'. Could this be a selective rapture? Are some just being raptured away to another thread never to return to the previous discussion? Are they waiting for divine inspiration or maybe to be bodily resurrected back to the thread when the time is right? I am sure I am just imagining things....

I just sat here laughing for about 5 minutes straight! I had just gotten done reading "Evolution is a Religion" and was preparing to bang my head against my keyboard when your thread popped up. I think you experienced a rapture to write this at the exact moment I needed it most!! LOL

YOU wanted to bang your head against the keyboard? I was bleeding out of my fucking ears. How many valuble minutes did I waste trying to find refutations to tired arguments I had written sometimes months ago? It wasn't even a debate. It was a "debate".
"Physical reality” isn’t some arbitrary demarcation. It is defined in terms of what we can systematically investigate, directly or not, by means of our senses. It is preposterous to assert that the process of systematic scientific reasoning arbitrarily excludes “non-physical explanations” because the very notion of “non-physical explanation” is contradictory.

Well, gee, if you would just accept "goddidit" then your ears would be fine except that you would then have to plug them up with your fingers and shove your head up your ass.
Does it help you or BGH to know that I learn a lot from you guys? Deluded, I hope your offer to answer Iruka's question extends to me. (I am waiting for my rapture moment so I figured I would put the time to good use by learning.)
LOL!
I have an idea if my hypothesis is true:
Instead of "When you get raptured can I have your car" bumper stickers we need "When you get raptured can I have your laptop, pc, mac, servers, bandwidth, paypal accounts... etc."
LOL
It is frustrating to formulate arguments for discussion only to have it fall on deaf ears.
Now, when they don't respond or disappear from the thread I look at the screen and shout "I WON".
LOL! I think Lux has been raptured multiple times. Maybe it feels like an orgasm?
Yeah, thanks, BGH! I was getting ready to quit for the night anyway, so I'll let it end on this positive note.
(I just read some of deludedgod's posts and my brain feels like it's going to explode. That dude needs to write a book with a glossary included so I can flip to the back for definitions.

I do this ALL the time.
I know they'll never admit defeat, so I have to claim it for myself.

Conceding the argument is not always easy to enforce, therefore I take care of it for them.
I tend to post it. That way not only do I know I won, but every time they look at or think about that thread, they know I won. And everyone who sees it later also knows I won. Insult to injury. =)

I think I just shot Dr Pepper out of my nose laughing so hard at this thread.
I also found out that Theists can be raptured via the telephone too..I contacted one on HHS (His Holy Space...where the self-righteous go to escape Tom..) at his request..and after an hour of circulating logic..he had to "see his wife"..and hung up..
If Jesus had died 20 years ago Catholic school children would be wearing little electric chairs around their necks instead of crosses.
I think I've seen tapes of people post rapture. It happened in South America in a big way. Drink the grape Koolaid, and *BAM* raptured. Submit all inquiries to Jim Jones, PO Box 0, Nowhere.

Right, like the Heaven's Gate cult was raptured also.... LOL.
Don't be absurd! Heaven's Gate went away on a spaceship. That is very different than the rapture. Now, the Branch Davidians, they were raptured by Janet Reno!

Ah, you're so much better than me! I usually end up shrieking "holy crap, how can you be so thick!!! Stupid twatwaffles, you're giving me chest pains with your stupidity!! Aaaargh!!!" (Shrugs) What can I say, I get annoyed really easily.
I often think of the song 'Screaming at a Wall' by Minor Threat when I'm on this forum. Not quite sure why...

Hearing about The Rapture makes me want to kidnap believers at random and force them into science and critical thinking classes.
If you could understand how much i love this comment! Ugh. I love Minor Threat.
Here are the lyrics to 'Filler' by Minor Threat, I think this song really fits here sometimes.
"Filler"
What happened to you?
You're not the same
Something in your head
Made a violent change
It's in your head [x3]
FILLER
You call it religion
You're full of shit
FILLER
Was she really worth it?
She cost you your life
You'll never leave her side
She's gonna be your wife
It's in your head [x3]
FILLER
You call it romance
You're full of shit
FILLER
Your brain is clay
What's going on?
You picked up a bible
And now you're gone
It's in your head [x3]
FILLER
You call it religion
You're full of shit
FILLER
(Thread derails admist Minor Threat nostalgia)
Oooh, I love that song!!! I remember playing that on the way to the Fugazi show in 1992. I have to say, Filler might be better than Screaming at a Wall. However, now that I think about it, how about Think Again?
Everybody's right
Everything I've done is wrong
You know I tried to keep it short
I know it took too fucking long
Too much has been said
You think it fucked my head?
THINK AGAIN
Ignorance, it set your standards
Intelligence, that don't work in your brain
You're an adult, so you act like a child
Don't even try to explain
This stupid shit, it's been done
You think you're the only one?
THINK AGAIN
A hand to your mouth,
A performing yawn
I guess you know
What the fuck is going on
You're on top, you're on the ball
You think you've seen it all?
THINK AGAIN
Before you take another crack
And slap yourself on the back
Before you tell me what you heard
And sum it up in one word
Before you start talking shit
Before you throw another fit
THINK AGAIN
Ok, I'm done now. Promise. Sorry.

Now you have gone and cited my all time favorite Minor Threat song.
I think 'Filler' applies specifically to religion and 'Think Again' applies to all types of stupid thinking.
We did derail this thread, huh? LOL.
My favorite is 'good guys don't wear white'. And 'salad days'. You can really here the Fugazi in those songs.
Yup, thread officially derailed!

You're both so silly. Don't you know anything? The original portion of the thread was raptured.
BGH - LOVE the new avatar!

Crap! You're right, now original topics are getting raptured. This is craziness I tell you, pure craziness.
(Thank you on the avatar! And Strummer thanks you.)
We all feel this pain Deludedgod. We must be masochistic in some way. We spend time formulating responses, researching topics and typing till our fingers bleed just to be summarily ignored or have our finest arguments 'refuted' with, "Well, I know the bible is true because it says it is true."
UGH!
As long as Strummer doesn't get raptured! He's too handsome a dude to disappear. If that happened, who would we gaze at?

Well, if that were to happen then you might just have to 'gaze' at that picture of me again. Don't worry, Strummer isn't going anywhere though.
