I’ve got news for you, crackpot. The rapture already happened and you, the self-righteous, have been left behind with us, the great unbelieving. Let that sink in.

The rapture happened in 2012 just like the Mayans predicted.

Only Harambe was taken.

Wouldn’t it be funny if this thing had actually happened and nobody noticed because everybody’s still here?

Was the pain in the same arm you were masturbating with?

Maybe that’s why I wasn’t taken up?

It’s already happened, and that’s why everything seems to have gotten worse in the past few years.

Nah, he’s been religious since he was a kid. He even went to college at a Bible institute.

People have been drawing correlations to end-times prophecy since it was written. The vagueness is its strength - humans have always been and will continue to be hateful and violent to each other. That’s not a sign of its accuracy, it’s just how humans are.

And that’s not even touching on the nutjobs actively encouraging things like violence in the middle east in an extremely misguided attempt to match the prophecy. Again, nothing to do with biblical veracity - just humans being human.

Could be thinking of him. Rumors that atheists started trying to disprove something and turning into Christians are good for the church. It’s a lie that has been repeatedly told about all kinds of people. It used to be a favorite tactic of certain denominations. Probably still is, but information is way easier to disprove now.

Maybe L Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology?

A cursory Wikipedia search for Jenkins and LaHaye confirms both were evangelical Christians from an early age.

I think I’ll be the only one here to say that I’m fine with him thinking this.

Because its his freedom to. However misguided and wrong it is. And suggesting he not think it, or is somehow less than for thinking it-is doing exactly to them what so many oft accuse them of doing to us.

Because youre ignoring the fact that people in power make decisions based on fiction that affect all of us. That’s the danger

And what power does this author hold exactly. I’d love to hear this.

Well, his series emboldened a new generation of end-times nutters like himself that, at best, ignore critical threats to humanity because it’s “ending soon anyhow”, and at worst actively campaign for disastrous and harmful policies in order to hasten the end of the world and their own entry into “paradise”.
