Rapture!

OMG! This sounds like QAnon territory.

Has anybody been raptured yet?

I don’t think so.

I started to see some videos referencing the rapture (really to make fun of those poor believers) so that was how I learned about this craziness.

It seems every day the world gets loonier and loonier.

The Australians seem to begin the jokes by saying it’s September 23 or 24th over there and nothing is happening yet. There was also a question of September 23 by Australian time zone or US time zone?

Then someone brilliantly said that he wished he had some trumpets so he could blow on it while driving around in his car, just to see the believers go crazy. Especially when they are not levitating up into the sky.

Anyone suggested leaving piles of clothes “left behind” to indicate a person has been “raptured”.

So, what are they going to do on September 25th when they find they are still here? Will they think they have been left behind?

This is one of those times where I think religion is not serving us humans very well. It’s dumbing us down. The imperative to just have faith and thus not question things is really damaging because then, some believers start to believe in nonsense.

That’s one way in which I find religion damaging. There is another way, but I won’t speak of it tonight because it has nothing to do with the rapture insanity. (But think Taliban.)

I just wanted to kid around with this nonsense.

We’ll see if I’m still here tomorrow. Or who has left the earth.
