Not really, Rapture Ready decries all versions of the Rapture not directly sanctioned by them.

True. Perhaps I should say if Rapture Ready and the rest of the thinking world agree that a person, Camping or otherwise, is worth laughing at, that fact alone should give one pause.

Sanity on RR.
That usually doesn't last very long.

I love how they act all innocent, yet I can practically taste the venom & vitrol coming off of that vulture feast.

Much as I hate to admit it, there is one thing I like on RR: the user lorenei's sig image. It's very well-done artistically, and while I don't see eye-to-eye with her on religion, the idea expressed is pretty nice. And then she puzzles me with stuff like this: I'm sorry, but learning how to protect yourself (and newsflash: the person you marry may not be clean him/herself, and some "virgins" are, in fact, lying about it) makes more sense to me than the idea that putting a ring on someone's finger MAGICALLY renders sex ok for the first time. In fact, that's one of the ideas that never jived with me, and made me very unpopular in high-school-level CCD. "Sex is wonderful, but only if you're married, and only if the semen ends up inside the vagina every time. Otherwise, it's HORRIBLE HORRIBLE EVIL EVIL AND YOU'RE GOING TO HELL FOR IT." I'm sorry, it just doesn't make sense. And "His ways are not our ways" doesn't suddenly cause it to make sense. And this little gem: Do you?

Someone might want to invite Lily over here. She's about two steps away from getting banned.
I love the, "You need to take the focus off yourself," response, like showing compassion and accepting others for who they are is focussing on yourself.

One person said Christians don't have the right to make people feel sad, and the response was:

Yeah, I saw that. Analogy makes no damn sense. It would be more like seeing a child cross the street when no car is coming & berating them for being an idiot.

RR is quiet lately because of how many people they have excommunicated (banned). Anyone and everyone who disagrees with anything the moderators believe on any point, from politics to conspiracy theories to theology, isn't allowed to give their opinion. I would not be surprised if they have banned 50% of their total membership over the years they have operated, most of whom are other sincere Christians who believe in the rapture. Just take one look through their list of rules to see what I mean. Not only do they ban anyone whose theology is even slightly different form theirs, but they extend that to US politics as well. You must be a 21st century neo-conservative; all other viewpoints are disallowed. They don't just ban liberals, but also traditional paleo-conservatives, libertarians, the "Ron Paul crowd", constitutionalists, middle-of-the-roaders, etc. It shouldn't be surprising why their membership is down and they have been so quiet.

Holy Necromancy, Batman! [Modmask = on]
With your talk of a board's rules, one would think you'd have checked Our Rules out as well. 6 months just happens to be a wee bit long than 30 days (which, as Our Rules state is our cut-off for something being a necro), so I'm gonna have to give you an Official Warning™ for it, and remind you (and everyone who sees this) to check the date of the last post, even if it's on the from page of that forum.
