Judgement Day

Predictably, fabrication of excuses for the failed event has already begun: It was a test of faith (rather than, say, numbskullduggery).

Elsewhere, SA’s rapture army’s general vows to consult his strategy book for reasons “explaining” the failed prediction.

There is not enough facepalm pictures on the entirety of the Interwebs to show my exasperation. Faith has got to be the most fucking stupid thing in the Universe. Bar anything.

Amen. It makes you want to divorce your species.

I think boogieMonster and CGC got raptured. Anyone heard from them?

I believe so too! :stuck_out_tongue:

The internets here in heaven is awesomely fast. What with there no porn being available. Only problem is you can only access evangelical sites. And they’re quite dull, now that they can’t talk all about waiting for the blessed day of christs’ return. Not much else to talk about on them now. Sorry, gtg, I think one cute angel is giving me “the look”.

You must let us know if she had any angelic pick up lines prepared. Or did she just wing it?

I don’t mean to harp on endlessly about the finer points of angelology, but an angel doesn’t have a soul. This halo of imperfection clouds the sanctity of their advances, and the recent inductee to heaven should en-choir about their guardians.

(wtf!!)

church groups are actively providing counseling and advice for the damaged souls.

Gone Camping: be back in five years!

And, as usual, the interwebs have the final say…

Well I tried the “did you fall from heaven” line, but it kinda died halfway through when I realised that she didn’t.

Then I went with “is your father a thief?” and got all kinds of static from the locals… picking up angels in heaven is hard.

AWESOME!

Oh my f@#$, what prats! And in SA too! No rapture - just a huge hotel bill. It is really hard to be sympathetic…

no rapturing in my neck of woods. spent the day working in the garden, thinking pure thoughts, and getting sunburnt.

Wow… but not suprising…

In 2009, the organisation reported in IRS filings that it received $18.3m in donations, and had assets of more than $104m, including $34m in stocks or other publicly traded securities.

Through chatting with a friend over what he acknowledged was a very difficult weekend, the light dawned on him that instead of the biblical Rapture in which the faithful would be swept up to the heavens, May 21 had instead been a "spiritual" Judgment Day, which places the entire world under Christ's judgment, he said.

The globe will be completely destroyed in five months, he said, when the apocalypse comes.

But because God’s judgment and salvation were completed on Saturday, there’s no point in continuing to warn people about it, so his network will now just play Christian music and programmes until the final end on Oct. 21.

Is there no end to this prick’s idiocy/venality?

No. Nor can there be. It’s theology in action, adhering to its proud, millennia-old heritage of chutzpah. Religionists’ capacity for intellectual fraud is inexhaustible. It’s why we’ll never be rid of their impostures. You could almost admire it in a way similar to how you might admire a slow-motion sequence of an unfolding train wreck.

Justnownowism is totally legit though. It was revealed to me, personally!

and I’m your most faithful follower, spreading your happy word whenever my religion comes in question… >:D
