If the rapture should occur in your lifetime, and some think it will, how would you explain it to your colleagues?

If the rapture should occur in your lifetime, and some think it will,

For about 2100 years now there have been people like you hoping and praying and predicting. It's never going to happen. The professor is unlikely to waste any time planning his explanation.

My God told me She still loves you in spite of your belief in the false messiah. Please consider leaving the darkness of your obsession with end times.

Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

FWIW - I have my own beliefs. But I don't go around trying to shove it down anyone's throats. And as long as nobody else tries to shove theirs down my throat, I won't have a problem with them.

I know what you mean. I feel the same way about skydivers talking about their hot skydives.

I log on to Dropzone. com, not JesusEvangelists.com.

I thought this place was primarily about "hot skydives" and other activity-related stuff.

If Satan came up to see you and said "Ron, I'm so happy with all the work you've been doing turning people off God and pushing them away from the Church into a life of sin, I can't wait to have you all to myself in Hell!" how would you apologise to your pastor and your congregation?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

You are on Dropzone.com.

I mean, do you go to gay bars and get annoyed when the people there talk about hot guys?

I consider it somewhat less likely than that a wayward asteroid will crash into the Georgia mountains and wipe out 90% of life on Earth.

But Jesus wouldn't let that happen, just like climate change. Senator Inhofe of Oklahoma has the scoop, look him up.

As is paying off your credit cards. Why not max 'em out? No one is going to come after you once the Rapture happens.

What's more likely: kallend has to explain the rapture to his colleagues, or dumb parents in Texas will have to explain to their 18 year old children why they can't get a job because they never bother learning to read or add?

Looks like you are the only one that caught the joke. I believe liberals are basically angry people.

Really? I suppose some are, but have you watched right wingers on TV? Those are the uptight angry one I see. Liberals are more self righteous than angry!

A Soap Box in Cyber Space. This is the place to discuss politics, guns, religion and any other topic you feel the need to address from your soap box.

FTR, I don't care to discuss religion. I do like to share the good things in my life such as peace of mind, freedom from mood altering substances, loving fellowship with my peers and no fear of death are just a few things that pop into mind.

It's his go-to label for those with any opposing view.
I think if some people actually understood it's general meaning, they wouldn't use it because they wouldn't want to compliment someone they are attempting to insult.

I honestly don't think that anyone would characterise your contributions to this forum as 'loving'.

So if that's what you're aiming for, you're missing the mark.

[wmw999 2,445]

Many of them are attempting to share what he sees as the best things about his life. That is, in fact, loving. Then there are the judgmental posts, that don't share, but instead attempt to instill fear. Those aren't quite as effective

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I started out with that intention in 2009. After about six months I realized this is a cage match.
My loving peers are in my physical and spiritual community.

No cage match, just a mixture of cultures, opinions, and beliefs.
Each deserving of theirs as much as one is of their own.
I think your last comment applies to most people.
I absolutely love being around family and friends too.

So if you don't care to discuss religion, and it's no longer your intention to share the good and loving things in your life, then why do you still post here in threads like this?

And what would you say if Satan came up and thanked you for doing such a good PR job for him?

As I have stated previously, for therapy, entertainment and reality checks. There are a few here that post meaningful opinions.

In the seven years I've been here I've never seen a positive post from you, only criticism, opposition and endless argument. So you are here for some sort of pay off known only to you.

I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. You are a liar and the father of lies. I order you to go back into the darkness of the abyss from whence you came. Be gone!
