The thing that I don't understand is that they imagine all of us just sitting around waiting to be raptured while the rest of the world passes us by! We evidently have no lives to speak of....

Maybe we imagine it because of all those posts you give us that say you do.
Seeing the rapture is a myth, you may want to read this.
http://www.godfire.net/Rapture.html
"It wasn't until the early or mid 1800's that there was any significant group of believers around the world that looked for a "rapture" of the Church prior to a seven-year tribulation period. It may come as a shock to some who read these lines, but it is a fact, nonetheless, that the "rapture" teaching was not taught by the early Church, it was not taught by Church of the first centuries, it was not taught by the Reformers, it was not taught by anyone (except a couple of Roman Catholic theologians) until about the year 1830.
Well let's see.
You're against sex.
What lives could you people possibly HAVE?
If we think that way, it's because that's they way you have presented yourselves. Now, go sit down on the couch, and wait for jesus to come back like a good little robot.
No, I'm sure you have very action-packed and eventful lives.
Like... umm... well, like reading Left Behind.
And discussing it with friends from your church.
And... uhh... umm...
watching creationist cartoons, I guess...
and beating your kids...
and worrying about teh debils hiding in every shadow...
oh, and complaining. Let's not forget that. Lots of complaining.
And I'm out of ideas at this point.
Somebody go grab the quotes where a Rapturist said, "Well I would $life_improving_verb, but the Rapture is just around the corner, so I won't!"
I'd imagine you cultists actually have some life. I'm sure you all eat, sleep, use the bathroom, go to school/work, and go on the Internet. But a lot of you are assholes, believe in so much bullshit (i.e. soymilk makes you gay, Obama is AntiChrist, Bush is a hero, etc.), and you all claim the Rapture will come soon (without any sort of proof (not even Biblical evidence). So you all just cry and whine on how bad and worthless your lives are when in reality, you're the ones doing this to yourselves. What makes things worse is that you want people to convert to your cult.
I hope you morons realize that there have been several so-called Raptures that never happened.

Your title says you all are ready for some sort of promised miracle, and you all wish the world would self-destruct so you can drift off into the clouds and live forever. Meanwhile, there are enough testimonies from your site saying "life sucks; I wish it were over".
Evidently, you don't.
Prove us wrong. Start doing some volunteer work. Or maybe give to charity, since earthly money would be rendered totally useless by a rapture anyway.
It's kind of hard to believe you have a social life when you spend hours on the Internet talking about how you just can't wait to die and be with Jesus.
Actually, it's a fair point.
...plus, think of all the other crazy stuff they do that goes undocumented!
Oh please, someone must have the link to the 18 year old RR "gentleman" who heard god tell him not to bother with college or a job because he would be raptured too soon to worry about either. The guy said he would spend his days, in his trailer, in prayer instead.
Come on... someone must have more time than me to search... gotta take my car in for new tires. That whole having a life thing... having a job would be better admittedly, or even unemployment would be nice. (never work for a college, they have loop holes when you are laid off!)
pretty much.
Well other than running around screaming in peoples faces, reinforcing your beliefs with one another, and basic survival stuff. And the odd stay at Happy Acres.
What can I say, I used to be one of these idiots.
Ah, if only it were true. Sadly, you nutjobs are out there voting in elections, trying to get your religion taught in schools, and spreading your bigotry everywhere you go.
For the first time, I'm glad to see my irony meter explode.
"We evidently have no lives to speak of...."
You evidently think of nothing else but God, Jesus, gays, abortion, Obama's election & his part in the resulting NWO, and that lovely Rapture...
Go out and have a drink. See a film, or a show. Get laid. Walk up a hill and see nature at it's finest. Write a poem. Read poetry (or other great works of literature). There's SO much you can do, other than read that load of shite the Bible, and get worked up about gay marriage, abortion, creationism being banned in schools & so on. Go out and LIVE! You only have one life after all.
Ok yes I know it comes from RR (basically fstdt 2) and while obviously the guy believes it too, this sentence by itself doesn't mean anything and has nothing specifically "fundie worthy" in it...
Then you answered your own question, Greg. Next time, look at the context, too, before making a grand judgment.
You paint that picture of yourselves, by yourself. We just look at what you give us, and you show yourselves to just sit around and bitch and moan about everything while waiting for the rapture. So yeah, this is exactly right. You don't have lives.
You do have lives, but I suspect that even fruitflies enjoy a happier existence than you dolts. I mean, we keep reading about people who can't wait to die - how much sadder an existence than that can we possible visualize?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
