I believe in Blondie's Rapture. And the band The Rapture. But I do not believe in any God(s) or any religious Rapture. BTW-I'd be reeeeally interested to know who voted "Yes" up there to believing in The Rapture. I'd like to have a healthy debate. BTW-I think it might be the thread's originator.

Even assuming a literal, inerrant interpretation of the Bible (an assumption that I do not normally make, let me assure you) the rapture simply isn't there. The word is never actually used in the Bible, and the entire concept comes from a single verse in Revelation that says that the faithful will be taken up into the air. Given how obtuse and symbol laden the book of Revelation is, that could mean anything. The modern concept of the rapture comes from a guy named Darby who lived in the mid nineteenth century and came up with the whole convoluted scheme. You should really read up about it, believe it or not it's actually a whole lot crazier than you think. For further readings, please consult The Slacktivist. You'll thank me.

I believe in rapture...

I've been more than patient. If you want it back, convince me or another mod this is nothing more than spam.

THREAD LOCKED until "Needless" can convince one of us moderators that he is worth listening to.
