(Another sign of the endtimes!)
raptureshoes says:
another thing that is different for me: I still laugh and find things silly, but I cannot tell you the last time something really cracked me up - side-splitting gut buster laughing. Anyone else?
Steve53:
I too find less and less things humorous to the point of being "side splitting" funny. Everything for me these last few years has been tinged with an otherworldly awareness that's keeping me grounded and constantly looking beyond what's before me.
Does that make sense?

I'm not surprised. It seems like this rapture nonsense has developed into a full blown obsession with a lot of you, and it's obviously affecting your well being. Convincing yourself that the world could end at any moment is not a healthy thing for a human mind. I wouldn't be surprised if most of you displayed symptoms of clinical depression, it certainly appears that way from what you've written.
It's just getting older. You tend to be exposed to funny things over time, and, as a consequence, it takes more to make you laugh, since you've already heard better jokes in the past, or variations on the joke you are in the process of hearing.
Or it could just be that you are getting bitter. There's always a chance of that (considering that you spend your hopeless days on a website full of whackjobs pining for the end of the world...).
So much for the love of Jesus Christ brining you happiness and comfort.
Maybe if you nuts weren't so busy paying extra special attention to all the negative crap going on in the world, thinking it's the end times, you wouldn't be so negative. Of course the world is going to seem horrific if you spend all of your time looking for signs of the Armageddon and watching Fox News. Turn off the news, close the paper, and go outside instead of sitting around on the internet, chatting with other nuts who share your problem. You'll be surprised how much your little moods with brighten (assuming that being happy hasn't magically become a sin... in which case, I guess you're fucked).
Maybe you guys should check out David Cross.
Actually, no, wait, on second thought, your brains would probably explode.
They should watch The Simpsons more. Oh, wait, the cartoon pokes fun at fundies, doesn't it? Oh, wait, maybe that's what they need more of. Oh, wait, fun's sinful, ain't it? Oh, wait, they like being miserable, it's all they ever talk about, because Jesus is coming tomorrow and that will cheer them up.
Tossers.

I feel terribly sorry for you if you are no longer able to laugh until you ache. I laughed until I cried last weekend, a few times. It was liberating and absolutely joyous.
Your god is sucking the life out of you - when he gave you that life. Don't you see anything wrong with that?
Does that make sense?
nope, because I laugh my ass off at fundies on a daily basis. If you want to laugh, become an atheist and then read what you just posted again..you will laugh your ass off until your large intestines bleed!
"otherworldly awareness that's keeping me grounded"
Sounds like an endorsment for weed. It'll make you laugh too!
No, seriously: As you're getting older you find things less funny? What a non-event
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
