This past week I saw a bumper sticker on a car that read "In Case of the Rapture, Can I Have Your Car"
I did a double and triple take to make sure that I was reading it correctly! Since then I have been trying to figure out what message this idiot is trying to send. Is this an atheist making fun of the Rapture? Are they just caught up in sin that deep that they know that they are not going to make the Rapture? Is this a Muslim thing?
Please Lord let me understand, I pray for their Salvation!

Or, y'know, maybe--just maybe--it's just a friggin' joke?
Don't complicate things that are so simple. The person who has written this is making fun of you. You can believe WHATEVER YOU LIKE, but you have to be consequent with your beliefs. If you say that you're going to disappear and despise those left behind, they can react whatever way they like.
Is this an atheist making fun of the Rapture?
Yeah, probably. Even most non-atheists shake their heads at this nonsense.
Not only atheists, but everybody who isn't a rapturist. Since the rapture is never going to happen, it is a null question.
And we're making fun of the silly people who believe it will happen.
Why would this be a Muslim thing? More atheist, And yes the person is making fun of the rapture. Be aware that for trying to get your view on everyone, someone will question you. For expressing your beliefs, someone will question you. You can either answer and take the insults in stride or bitch and complain. You are too weak to do the earlier
"Is this an atheist making fun of the Rapture"
Difficult to make fun of something that doesn't exist. Probably making fun of deranged fundies, who clearly DO exist.
Rapture Ready = solid proof of Poe's law. It's just impossible to tell, now.
Oh, and Hiswahwah: could be Muslim, could be Atheist, could be anyone not a fundie nut with no sense of humor. Making fun of the Rapture? Possibly, but more making fun of fundie nuts who believe in it.
Actually, really it's making fun of the stupid bumper sticker your lot love so much. It's like the Darwin Fish. It's a reaction to you shouting your beliefs at the rest of us.
This is the reaction I try to elicit with my collection of car signs. One says,"Geez if you love honkus." The poor dweebs may suspect that in some obscure manner their beliefs are being dissed, but they can't be sure. Any day I can spread doubt, confusion and uncertainty among fundies is a very good day.
*raises hand* Yea, that was probably me.
Yes, I was mocking your silly Rapture myth.
You may continue gossiping with your fellow death-cultists now.
Seriously, though... can I have your car?

You just know the fish-logo on Hisway's car is going to be one of those with a Jesus fish eating a Darwin fish.
Hisway probably thinks this is terribly clever, too.
Someone outta prank em by setting up a place (maybe their workplace) with empty clothes in the chairs, maybe one near the copier with a dropped coffee on the floor, small metal pieces to represent fillings, etc.
And have a hidden camera to see them totally freak.
Hisway, I shall answer your prayers!
Yes.
Yes you are being made fun of.

PRAISE BE TO THE WORD OF LITHP!

Sounds like a good idea, find a fundi in the office that everyone hates... then everyone secretly stage everything while he's in his office, sneak out activate some security cameras... Turn off the phones, and sit back and watch the fun.
That brings up an important question. When people get 'raptured' while driving will their cars spin out of control and kill other people? How about airplane pilots? Surgeons in the middle of a life saving operation? Police officer restraining a dangerous criminal to keep someone else from being hurt? The list goes on for quite a while. Just to be able to rapture his people, God literally has to be willing to murder thousands, not that he's shown any hesitance to do so in the past.
Eh, Atheists, Muslims, Satanists, Pagans, and, depending on who you ask, Jews and Catholics, are all the same to these people. Like, I'm pretty sure they literally don't know the difference.
But I remember a comment I saw within the last couple weeks where some RR guy said he thought god would use the rapture as an opportunity to play jokes on a lot of christians.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
