Post-Rapture Looting, Anyone?
Religion Rachel Swan — Tue, May 17, 2011 at 11:53 AM
Lest you've been comatose for the last month or so, let's fill you in on the biggest news story of the last —oh— two thousand years: The Rapture is coming. Like, Saturday. The saved will ascend to heaven, the graves will unleash their dead, and the rest of us will be left to walk among corpses and zombies. Sounds like an opportune moment for a little looting, right?
So thought Ben Conner and Carl W Franke, organizers of a post-rapture looting party that's already gotten major traction on Facebook, with more than 125,000 attendees, to date. To quote the organizers: "When everyone is gone and god's not looking, we need to pick up some sweet stereo equipment and maybe some new furniture for the mansion we're going to squat in." Gather up your Samsonite, heathens, and godspeed.

On Saturday, that Facebook group had 826,000 members. It was hilarious, and surprisingly, no trolling occurred, unless you count three people lost amid the sea of hilarity, that actually thought the page theme was ...serious.
So, the best thing out of all of this was seeing more than three-quarter of a million lighthearted, sane peeps get together in two days on a social networking site. The power of the internet. :)

"what a bunch of lost souls there are.lets you know how many people rilly beleave in god.or even read there bible."
Nope! lets me know that people who are barely literate enough to "rite" will "rilly beleave" any crap they are fed by some itinerant preacher and are probably not capable of reading "there" bible let alone interpreting it.
The cool thing would be to have a post-rapture party and make all these churches clean up afterword, particularly since these bloodsuckers have been "cleaning up" for years.
"IF THE END IS TONIGHT OR IF IT IS TOMORROW, WE WILL DIE ONE DAY, WILL YOU BE READY TO SPEND ETERNITY WHERE YOU HAVE CHOSEN?"
Will there be lower case letters there?
NO (MAN) KNOWS THE TIME OF THIS.... IT IS A (MAN) PREDICTING THIS, RIGHT? WHAT PART OF THAT DON'T WE UNDERSTAND? ONLY GOD THE FATHER KNOWS THIS. BUT I TELL YOU THE TRUTH... NO MAN WILL SEE GOD UNLESS HE REPENT AND ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS HIS SAVIOR. DEARLY BELOVED, MY FRIEND, YOU CANNOT SAVE YOURSELF. IT IS BY GRACE ALONE, LEST ANY (MAN) SHOULD BOAST. EPHESIANS 2:8-9
JESUS SAID, THE WORK OF GOD IS THIS... TO BELIEVE IN THE ONE GOD SENT. JOHN 6:29
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. JOHN 3:16
WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED. AND HIS NAME IS JESUS... THE ONLY WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH THE SON! THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUTH AND IT WILL SET YOU FREE.
IF THE END IS TONIGHT OR IF IT IS TOMORROW, WE WILL DIE ONE DAY, WILL YOU BE READY TO SPEND ETERNITY WHERE YOU HAVE CHOSEN? I LOVE YOU ALL IN JESUS NAME.
Reminds me of the dyslexic insomniac -- he stayed up all night wondering if there really was a dog. Bada bing, nada boom.
Meh. I'm Catholic, so I figure I can juwt go to confession about an hour before The Rapture and *PRESTO* I'm saved.
