Well, in your favor, anything which is possible might come before the rapture as the rapture is simply not coming.
How can something be "a lot easier for God?" I mean, unless you think the Bible is lying about his being an omnipotent, all-powerful, perfect being.
it would make the Rapture a lot easier for God
YES BECAUSE SOMETHING COULD POSSIBLY BE HARDER FOR AN OMNIPOTENT BEING
And yes, I'm shouting here. Idiot.
Soooo.... God can read the minds of everyone on Earth to tell who are the faithful followers who get to be raptured. And he'll make all of them fly up into the sky (somehow avoiding the "Therefore Repent!" fate) and pull them into heaven. But if everyone is in different states? What, you think he's omnipotent or something?
Wow, this just screams cult compound. I can see the headlines now:
The Constitution begins "We, the People ..." The United States are the entire country and its territories. There's no place within the area claimed by the USA as its sovereign territory that can be claimed by some other foreign power ("foreign power" being defined as any person or organization claiming not to be subject to the US Constitution).
The first part was confusing, the second part made me laugh my ass off. Now, where in the hell do you mean "a part of the country the government does not want to go"? Utah? Kansas? I'm confused. And is god really that stupid, that he needs help finding all his followers during the rapture? Maybe he should get GPS. Although I doubt he'd figure out how to use it in time.
*Facepalm* at the comments here.
I really don't see this as all that fundamentalist. If the rapture is going to be real then this would be the most likely way that god will make it happen. It would start with persecution against whatever religious affiliation is going to be saved follwed by rounding them up in a secluded area and then the rapture will happen.
This would be the only way that God could do it without the "unsaved" people knowing that the rapture did indeed happen. Because if an unsaved person where to convert during the tribulation, he'd want it to be out of faith, not out of proof of his existence. Having all the "saved" people in a nice, secluded, area is the only way an omnipotent god could do said task without affecting our free will.
Don't take this comment as being from a christian. I, myself, am agnostic. But this site is supposed to be about the ignorant , bigoted , and insane comments that a lot of these fundamentalist assholes make. This quote is merely religious speculation.
Wow. This is a really good idea. Yes, please go find somewhere that you can all congregate. Somewhere far away from the rest of us.
@Nisshoku: A lot of the quotes on this site aren't entirely ignorant, bigoted, or insane. I don't agree that they ought not to be posted solely for that. But meh, opinions will be varied.
As for the rapture, nowhere in the bible does it say it'll happen as most Christians believe it will. The bodies disappearing bit was made explosively popular by a couple of guys who wrote the 'Left Behind' book series like six or eight years ago. All the bible says is something along the lines of that 'the spirit of the lord will be taken from the earth.' Christians have come up with all sorts of ideas about what that actually means.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
