[In a thread about the recent impact on the moon.]
It is Going to Happen on Friday at 6:15am. You can watch it happen on the NASA Website.
This is INSANE. These INSANE LUNATICS do not even know what is going to happen they are hoping for the best. They are going to the Dark Side of the MOON, that has never been Explored.
GOD made everything for a REASON, and He has it DARK FOR A REASON.
We might not feel the IMPACT On FRIDAY, but it could be MONTHS down the ROAD.
I am going to say it ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS CRAZY...

Except by those Apollo guys who went to have a look, and then those damn commies who mapped the whole thing!

It's "dark" for only about half a month, WHICH IS ALSO FOR A REASON which may be blindingly obvious once you get it.
You can't say anything that isn't bad about Obama in rapture ready.
Teotwawki: "Perhaps Obama thinks he's playing Hearts, in which "shooting the moon" is good"
SumSam: "No fan of Obama, but posts like these make it sound like Obama is personally responsible for every single decision, which is ridiculous. Nasa programs have at least a 3 to 5 year planning period, meaning that this "shooting the moon" stunt must have kicked off the planning stage during George Bush's watch.
Some of the posts in this thread give lotsa ammo to mockers in the secular world that want to taunt us."
Nightelf: "Did you come here just to be argumentative and insulting? People have a right to react to this highly unusual event, and even insinuate that Obama should be making better decisions than shooting holes in the moon.
This kind of thing doesn't happen every day. If someone is fearful about it, offering some reassuring information would be better than ridicule."
Sometimes, I get a bit paranoid and think that whole of RR is really trolls and that none of these people actually type those things with any sort of conviction.
I actually wish that was true.

There is paranoid personality disorder, there is paranoid schizophrenia, and then there is super-mega-ultra-double-dog-paranoia, brought to you by Rapture Ready.

Yeah, if that notorious liberal sympathizer George W. Bush builds a moon orbiter that's meant to burden us with with useless knowledge, then that liberal failure Barack Obama should definitely shut the project down when it's about to go live, because that's what true conservatives would have wanted and that saves money!
(Seriously: Is it really that far-fetched that Obama would allow previous administration's projects that are actually scientifically viable to continue as they were?)
> This kind of thing doesn't happen every day. If someone is fearful about it, offering some reassuring information would be better than ridicule.
How about actual reassurance like "no, nothing weird is going to happen" instead of "there, there, now, scientists are still wrong and Obama is still evil"?
There is no dark side of the moon, really. As a matter of fact, it's all dark.
Yeah, something sure is crazy.
I'm Getting Worried. VERY WORRIED. They make us take English Grammar Classes FOR A REASON. If you skip them, you might not feel the IMPACT right away, but MONTHS down the ROAD.
I am going to say it ONCE AGAIN, YOU ARE CRAZY....
Sing along time!
Oh I'm a little cuckoo, Woo Woo!
Oh I'm an R-R Raptard, Har Har!
"We might not feel the IMPACT On FRIDAY, but it could be MONTHS down the ROAD"
Yeah, so any random disaster that occours and is no way connectable will be proof of God's divine judgement...your god is a lazy bigot if that's the case

Yeah,
Why does it happen so often that, when I read something from RR, I get the feeling that the things were written by people from the 12th century or from some south american indians, who just a short time ago came in touch with the modern world. (Fortunately not everyone in the thread is like April, there are also some saner people posting ;) )
Approaching Pres. Obama about the moon experiment:
"Mr. President, NASA has a plan to explode a small device on the moon to gather important information..."
"Hey, George, let's bomb the moon, hey, buddy? Let's just blow the fuck outta that sumbitch, what say?"
Bush: "Yeah, whatever, better ask Dick. Jes' keep 'em pressels away fum me - they attacked me last time.<Bellllch> *fart*"
Best response award goes to:
I'm not fearful of it. I just don't like it.
It's MY moon too!
I don't like the idea that the moon I look up at each night, is going to be bombed. It just feels mean, unnecessary, and yucky.
She's claiming ownership of the bloody moon! Simply unbelievable.
"I don't like the idea that the moon I look up at each night, is going to be bombed. It just feels mean, unnecessary, and yucky."
There have been numerous bombings in Iraq, the invasion of which was unnecessary. Those bombings were particularly mean and yucky because there are people in Iraq. I don't know what Jesus and his groupies have to say about that, but personally I find that much more concerning.
There is no dark side of the moon, really. As a matter of fact it is all dark.
Dark like April's brain.
I wonder if she realizes that saying INSANE LUNATICS is redundant. I also wonder if she realizes the root of the word LUNATICS. Would have been kinda clever if she did, but she doesnt, cause she is dumb.
OK, so what exactly is going to happen from this crash that we will feel months down the road? It's not like meteor impacts on the moon have any noticeable effect here on earth.
The sad part is that this person probably thinks that if we poke a hole in the moon, all the moon's light will leak out and it will grow dimmer until it disappears.
This is probably coming from some superstitious nutjob who thinks that a full moon affects people's behavior and birth rates here on earth. Just making a generalization here, but I have noticed that the more religious a person is, the more superstitious they tend to be.
And of course, being Rapture Ready, anything the government does is totally evil, unless it's the Republicans doing it.
Woah, NASA needs to consult RR before they try any of this crazy universe exploration stuff.
It's INSANE I tell you!!!11!
"This is INSANE. These INSANE LUNATICS do not even know what is going to happen they are hoping for the best."
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't NASA point out that the moon is hit about 4 times a month by objects that size or smaller anyway?
"They are going to the Dark Side of the MOON, that has never been Explored."
Apollo 13. They used the moon to "slingshot" themselves back to Earth. I would assume it was a fairly common way of doing so anyway, though I'm no NASA buff to be sure about that.
"GOD made everything for a REASON, and He has it DARK FOR A REASON."
Yes. Because it faces away from the fucking sun you moron. Then again, it's not always dark so I don't know what the hell you're going on about.
"We might not feel the IMPACT On FRIDAY, but it could be MONTHS down the ROAD."
And what, pray tell, does your fevered little mind expect to happen?
"I am going to say it ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS CRAZY..."
Your post certainly was.
actually im pretty sure its dark because its the side opposite the sun...
Been and gone already, nothing disastrous happened.
BTW, "Dark Side of the Moon" is an awesome album.

"We're whalers on the Moon!
Just to be clear about this:
1. There is no permanent "dark side" of the moon. There is a FAR side of the moon, which can't be seen from the surface of the Earth, but it's lit up whenever the near side is dark.
2. We did not aim the probe at the "dark side" of the moon, nor at the far side of the moon. We aimed the probe at a crater at the lunar south pole, whose interior is always in shadow.
3. The probe is not a "bomb". Its name is LCROSS. The spent lower stage of the spacecraft, along with a shepherding spacecraft, were "dropped" on the crater from lunar orbit. The force of impacts alone -- no explosives were necessary -- was used to shatter a little of the suspected ice within the crater and send it up into the sunlight so that it could be photographed and spectrally analyzed. Analysis of the result has so far failed to detect any water/ice.
One, it's not always dark. Two, we have pictures of it and we know, roughly, what's there.
Huh. Why isn't holy wrath being chucked left and right because of potholers? I mean those caves must be dark for a REASON right, like there's no light source down there.
Oops, my bad. Everytime anything bad happens according to you, it's because your God is pissed at something.
"They are going to the Dark Side of the MOON, that has never been Explored."
Every single Apollo mission from VIII until XVII orbited the entire moon.
Several times.
Uh yeah we have explored the dark side of the moon. There are moon globes. They have both sides.
I bet this is one of the same people that thought the Hadron collider was going to create a massive black hole.

Religion is belief in the supernatural, which is exactly the same as superstition. So your statement's not so much a generalization as a definition.
Apollo 8.
That's nine missions. (Apollo 9 was an Earth orbit checkout ride for the lander. It didn't go anywhere near the moon.)
Each of these nine missions carried three men. That's a total of twenty-four men. (Less than 27, some were on multiple flights.)
Frank F. Borman, II
Every single one of these men have seen the far (not dark) side of the moon. All except for Swigert and Haise orbited it many times. They may not have landed there, but they've seen it, and taken photographs. That doesn't include unmanned missions that have orbited the moon. BTW- the crater in question was not even on the far side of the moon, but at the edge of what is visible.
But I agree with you when you say "This is INSANE. These INSANE LUNATICS do not even know what is going to happen they are hoping for the best." Best description of RR I've ever seen.
that's funny, expect more lawsuits, there are going to be some ticked off lycans
Translation: Don't bomb the moon! The werewolves will go crazy and kill us all!
Yeah...
I wonder how she feels now that the moon is still there as ever and heck, the LCROSS didn't make a big of an impact on the moon in such a way that it could have been seen from the naked eye on Earth as NASA claimed it would.
Well yeah. That's part of science and exploration: trying out new things and ideas and hoping for the best. I can bet that no one at NASA was thinking or saying, "Man I hope the worst thing can happen with the LCROSS mission does."
What the hell?
Just for the hell of it:
"They are going to the Dark Side of the MOON, that has never been Explored."
Except for the dozens of probes that orbited the moon in the 60's. Hell, the Russians had a probe send us back photos of the dark side of the moon in 1959!
"GOD made everything for a REASON, and He has it DARK FOR A REASON. "
The dark side of the moon isn't actually dark any more than the near side. We call it "the dark side of the moon" simply because it's never turned toward the earth and we can't see it.
"We might not feel the IMPACT On FRIDAY, but it could be MONTHS down the ROAD. "
I'm sorry, but there's just no way that shockwaves from an impact on the moon are going to travel through 240,000 miles of empty space to be felt on earth. Quakes don't work that way by any stretch of the imagination.
Curses - you've uncovered our sinister Global Atheist Conspiracy plot to assassinate God!!!!
See, the National Assembly of Satanic Atheists (NASA to you) used Evilution to send up a rocket ship and track down Heaven. When they looked at this crater on the Moon with their tel-o-scopes, they could see dem ole Pearly Gates a-glinting in the sun. I was right there at that Satanic Mass in the White House when Obama got his orders to press the button and bomb that shit clean off the Moon.
Now you come along and threaten to blow the whole deal! Satan's going to be mightily pissed off. You might not feel the impact right away, it could be months down the road.
I wouldn't want to be you. Seriously.
(Hey, it makes just as much sense! And that final line is genuine.)
For what its worth, most of the RR-ites were joking about the moon mission, and some of them actually thought it was interesting.
April's response above is the minority view.
So, she's whacked out.... even by Rapture Ready standards! She's not just "not playing with a full deck"; she's shown up at a Texas Hold 'Em tournament with a Pokemon deck.
The dark side of the moon is simply whichever side isn't facing the Sun at the moment. So, yes, we have been on what is, at times, the dark side of the moon.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
