I'm having a bad couple of days and am longing for the Rapture more than usual. Not just because of my bad days, there's just something inside that is making me long for it more than usual. I would love nothing more than to be out of here by 2009.
As we all know, we don't know the exact date of the Rapture but I'm pretty sure we won't be here in 10 yrs.
My husband stopped contributing to his 401K this week. It's only temporary (he is only 32 yrs old). He is really upset about the fact that he stopped contributing. My thoughts .. who cares, won't be here to collect on it anyway.

You're in your thirties and can't wait for your lives to end?
I sincerely hope you don't have children to share your pathetic existence.
Your husband ended his 401k contributions, so now we'll have to support you in your old age. Thanks a lot, you smug bitch!
When your "premonitions" turn out to be bullshit, and your husband leaves you, and you end up on welfare due to your stupidity, can we act like "compassionate xtians" and bitch about how you are sucking off the Govt teat and should be allowed to die in the streets for not properly supporting yourselves?
Ok, if you aren't going to be around, could you donate all your worldly goods, including bank account numbers, to the cause... Cause I am not so stupid to believe some fantasy based by some kooky 15 yr old girl.

"Isn't it supposed to be: the lord helps those who help themselves?"
No, quite the opposite, but you're right that that's how a lot of fundies seem to think.
This posting makes Waco, Jonestown and Heaven's Gate all that more understandable.
Are some Americans just prone to religious mania? It seems a rare enough thing here in Europe. Perhaps we have had enough of it after all those centuries of witch and gay burning.
I can sympathize a bit, because there have been times in my life when I've been broke and depressed and just wanted nothing more than the floor to fall out from under me so I could *quit*. (I am generously assuming that her husband stopped those payments on his 401k because they needed the money for something else.) However, a couple of good therapists and a couple years of Lexapro helped me with that. Those will be easier for RadiantSON to find than Jesus come down to take her away. But I bet if someone tried to tell her, they'd be dismissed as overly worldly, even *gasp* atheist!
Unless you kill yourself, you'll be here for quite some time.
32 is too early to stop contributing to a 401(k). I would strongly suggest you resume contributions as soon as possible - at least enough to receive whatever the employer is willing to match. That's more or less free money.
My husband stopped contributing to his 401K this week.
So thank God those damn socialist liberals created Social Security, food stamps, Medicare, etc. ...
"I would love nothing more than to be out of here by 2009. "
I would love to have you out of here even sooner.

Can I have it?
Xotan:
I suspect it's a founder effect.
Many religious nuts in Europe who couldn't get along with others moved to America to escape "persecution". They were the first generation of white Americans, so their fundie genes and fundie culture got a head start in America. The "Catholics aren't christians" nonsense was started by fundies who fled Europe to escape the Catholic persecution. Since they were christian, the Catholic religion that oppressed them must be non-christian, therefore the Catholic church is satans tool to attack christians. This meme was passed from generation to generation until it infiltrated entire states.
Yes, I want to be a Christian so I can be just like you. You don't prepare for the future or live your lives in the present. You're just sitting around on your fat asses, waiting for some goddamn stupid rapture that's never gonna happen.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: if the church wasn't so gung-ho against suicide, at least half of you fucktards would be dead.

I have no sympathy for this person. If she wants the world to end why not save the trouble of waiting and all the destruction that would bring about and just take matters into her own hands?

Seriously, zero sympathy and mild disgust.
Damen, that's a pretty shitty thing to post. While the users at RR aren't exactly bright and some are possibly suffering from clinical depression we really don't want them to kill themselves.
Further, it's well known , PROVEN, that public discussion of suicide and suicide techniques leads to suicide.
Please don't do it again.
Thanks, Death. I've wondered how to communicate to her that she needs some help outside her church ever since I first read this. But of course, if I had powers of persuasion like that, I'd get my fundie-fried aunt to try counseling first.
I hate the ones who want the rapture to come because they KNOW they are going to be raptured. They don't care about the people left behind, they only care about their own petty problems. "Lord, I can't be bothered doing the dishes today, please let the rapture come now. Amen"
Wait a minute...RadiantSON...aren't sons boys? Does that mean that you and your husband are teh ghey? Maybe daughter was too hard to spell. (I wonder if they'll let me take over his 401K?)
Edit: Does anyone else think that if you don't believe in welfare, you shouldn't get welfare when you need it...i.e. you stopped paying into your 401K because you thought you were gonna go to heaven?
Be happy that your husband isn't as stupid as you are. Even if the rapture was real, you have no way of knowing when such a thing would happen. Trust me, in forty years when you're still here (and still posting on rapture ready, insisting that the rapture is just around the corner), you'll be glad that your husband thought ahead.
"there's just something inside that is making me long for it more than usual. "
It's called clinical depression. You should seek help and medication for it.
[EDIT]
Look, I belive in Jesus, but he never gave us a date-of-return. Sure, He might be here...oh say ten secounds from now, but it could also be He comes a thousand years from now.
We just don't know.
So live your life while you can. When you die you are going to look back in your life and find nothing but a void.
Live!
Every time I visit the Rapture Ready site, the more I am convinced that there is not one single true christian there.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
