It was addressed to anyone who saw it, tbf
It could be for anyone who was left behind and wandered there to see the sign
I live a life of sin to ensure that I remain down here with my cat.
Why were their cats so bad that they wouldn’t get raptured?
Pretty sure the cats will get raptured before this lady.
I think we all knew that about cats.
You’re going to choose the God who won’t take care of your cats?
“They’re eating the pets”.
this is when you sneak out, unseen, and take a week long vacation… make them think THEY were the ones left behind.
Bonus points if you leave outfits in a pile outside for each person living there.
God be like:
God power makes his pimp hand strong.
That subtle undercurrent of “Christians” that always judges you in some way indirectly of you don’t meet whatever made up standard they have in their heads.
And also you still need to do stuff for them. You’re broken and weird and not good enough to hang with them but you are good enough to shine their shoes and dance for them and you should be grateful for the opportunity.
“You’re one of the good ones!”

Its interesting to note that the Samaritans still exist today.
Like the after-church lunch rush cunts who tip with propaganda that looks like money at first
Rapture should work in the opposite way, all the assholes get teleported to Venus (they can take their billions, if they want) and instead we can enjoy the planet earth
What sort of fucking heavenly rapture wouldn’t let you take your pets with you?
Old testament God would totally do that
Oh I know christianity would do that but how can anyone go “ah yes heaven eternal bliss and happiness” and A. not have a problem with their pets being excluded from that and B. Have their version of eternal bliss and happiness be without their loved ones? Like dafuq. I’m not a religious person but if you were to ask me what heaven would be for me my response is gonna include giving tummy rubs to my old roommates cat Chubs (she passed last year D=)

That’s it. Now you’re not going to heaven!
I mean, the sign was on her front door, not a neighbors. That’s just selecting for anyone literate that would be left behind. The fact the neighbor took this as a message to themselves shows a level of narcissism that would guarantee they would definitely not be picked up by the rapture, if it were real…
Anyone believing that they would be scooped up by the rapture and not others are pathological narcissists.
Also believing that you will be raptured is a level of entitlement that should disqualify you too.
What if the rapture already happened but only like 3 people went to heaven and nobody else noticed?
I mean, that’s definitely the only valid interpretation of the rapture BS. So many things indicate it already happened, so if it’s true, it almost certainly already happened and we’re all fucked (as is obvious to anyone living in reality).
Not exactly 3 but if IIRC there’s only gonna be like 144,000 raptured folks which in today’s global population might as well be 3.
The bar to expecting one would be scooped up in the rapture is really, really low. Did you let them do their juju where they install a Jeebus in your aorta when you were 6 years old? Done. Dipped in the water of the church’s hidden hot tub behind a painting of a man being tortured? You’re on your way. Did you throw money at a church? Ticket punched. Do you both have a pulse and attended a church and wave your hands around and close your eyes? Welcome aboard, sir.
Americans that go to church are told every week how they’re going to heaven, getting raptured, etc. It’s a given for them and they’re brainwashed into thinking that they’re beyond good, but also that they should have the same sense of urgency and terror that Gretta Thunburg has about climate change about all the heathens around them who aren’t going to get sucked up.
I understand the idea of waiting till someone understands what is going on and can make a choice before someone is baptized.
But 6 isn’t that age. A 6 year old is just going to believe what their parents tell them and isn’t old enough to understand this choice. Might as well just do infant baptism.
We went through a confirmation process at 17 or 18. Much better way to accept and acknowledge your religion.
For someone to make an informed choice, they also need to know all the options. So, they can’t be raised in the religion of their parents. They need top be taught about the other Christian sects: Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, Quaker, Jehovah’s Witnesses. They even need to learn about the Christian-adjacent ones like Mormonism. Then they need to learn about Buddhism, Shinto, Islam, Hinduism. And, just in case the true religion died out like the Ancient Egyptian religion, the religions of the Aztecs, Olmecs, Mayans and Incas, the Norse gods, the ancient Greek gods, and the copycat Roman gods.
And, if it’s their parents who are teaching them about their favourite religion, and those parents are true believers, they should also be taught by true believers of those other religions, not just some kind of scholarly information. We wouldn’t want the kids to be influenced by the emotion of their parents.
Of course, no parent is going to agree to this. They’re true believers so their religion is the correct one, and they’re afraid that if the kids are taught something other than their own religion, the kids might be “brainwashed” into thinking the wrong thing.
The confirmation process I went through included some discussion of other flavors of Christianity. It started putting some ideas in my head that eventually led to dropping the faith entirely.
Might as well just do infant baptism.
I think that is how christening ceremonies are viewed nowadays.
You’re so vain. You probably thought this passive aggressive sign about the Rapture was about you
Pot. Kettle. Black. I did not put myself in to this joke. Why are you so inept at reading that you thought so?
WOOSH!
They were taking your joke further and bringing the Carly Simon song into the mix…
Jokes on her when the catpurr arrives.
Jokes on St Peter when 2 billion cats sit scratching at the gates but refuse to go in
I’td be funny to just empty a town and prank someone to believe the rapture took everyone but you
I love how this implies cats don’t deserve to go to heaven
But it’s ok, because Jesus said God will rip out your humanity so you’ll be emotionless and not care about anyone or anything you cared about in life
Isn’t that like a central part of the whole Christian thingamabob? I believe, you can interpret the bible to say that humans were created in the likeness of the Christian god and they are supposed to exploit all the other stuff that the god created. So, cats are there to be snacked, not for going to heaven…
So let me get this straight: no dogs, no cats, no companion animals of any kind, no rock stars, and no comedians. Who the fuck wants to get raptured? Place sounds like a nightmare.
Yep. To quote Billy Joel in Only the Good Die Young, “I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. The sinners are much more fun.”
There’s liturgy, and probably some animals for sacrifices. It’s not as barren as you may think.
The others go to hell. They probably party a lot down there.
Do the sacrificed animals come back to heaven for sacrifice again, or do they just “quickly” run out of animals?
I’m not convinced they would. They’re lazy, greedy, envyus, proud, gluttons, and have you heard a cat in heat? Nasty lusty bastards.
