    Weird…

    According to the Bible no man, no angel, not even Jesus Christ himself knows when the rapture will be…

    Huge fan of whoever convinced them to blame it on trump not releasing the Epstein files tho.

    Somewhere, one single person was raptured and wondering where everyone else is. No one else noticed their absence. But the rapture did happen.

          I’m sorry but Chick-fil-A is bland as fuck and I’ll never understand why people love it so much. The chicken is always dry, the sauce selection sucks, and the lettuce & tomato are always warm & soggy. I just don’t get it. Even by fast food standards, the quality is shit. I’ve been to multiple locations and they’re all the same.

    Every time the rapture doesn’t happen they seem more convinced that it will happen in the future.

    I really should get into the property market around the time the next rapture announcement comes out because surely they’ll be selling all their houses off right. If you timed it right you could go on a really expensive holiday and save money by not paying for a return flight.

      I think I saw someone selling “rapture insurance” a while a go. Iirc they pay a one time fee to get on a registry and they would go around and collect pets that didn’t get raptured with their owners.

    Faith is such an interesting concept. Believers can make up interesting statements like this, but if this statement is true, then so is the following: God was okay with Epstein’s activities, otherwise God would’ve intervened. Right?

      God is all-powerful and all-knowing. He knows the number of hairs on your head. Every touch, crime, etc. by Epstein was God’s specific will or it wouldn’t have happened. The Lord works in mysterious ways!

    Death cult makes up another excuse for their god not existing.

    “We know it’s fiction, but we hate you for not believing our bullshit!”

    Fuck religion, and the religious. Even you ‘good’ religious assholes. Fuck you specifically for supporting evil religions.

    Without religion, we’d be talking about Epstein right now. REligions come along with the complete lies and just fuck everything up. Every fucking time.

      Pretty sure bad people don’t need religion to still do bad things and lie. I’m pretty certain murder and other such horrors existed before religion did.

      Which is to say, y’all would be still talking about Charlie Kirk, tariffs, etc still instead of Epstein.

        A large portion of American Christians I’ve talked to reject Trump being a Christian. They just preferred him over Kamala. They’d rather someone pretending to be Christian than flat out reject Jesus openly.

        “Some form” is pretty broad. They may not actually mean all religions, either.

          There’s a difference between raging against the majority, and saying things like “all 72% of the population do is fuck everything up”. It’s a wonder anything is standing if that was the case.

            That’s not really what they said, though. Most of that 72% does non-religious stuff most of the time. Imagine how much better things could be if we were less fucked up!

        Hey, you DO see that humans, and only humans, have fucked this planet up pretty badly, right?

        Like we’re already past the point of no return for climate change. We can’t unfuck the planet.

        So why is it hard to believe that the majority of people are huge fuck-ups in life? Including you.

        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.
