    @GayDeceiver writing from Germany I had to look up Christian Rapture in the dictionary and my impression: it seems to be something very American.

    It is. And so, many entitled American assholes think they own 'the true religion' and want to dominate the world, saying they are what Jesus wanted et cetera ad infinitum ad nauseam.

      Nope. John Nelson Darby created it in the 1800s, after he had a fall and a knocked his nogging real hard.

      Look him up. It’s a hoot.

      I didn't even knew about it. (But I'm a french catholic.)

      And "Sodom and Gomorrah" being a "proof that homosexuality is a sin" was inserted around the same time by a new Bible translation. In Germany if I remember correctly.

      It is really recent.

      Before that, the sin of Sodom and Gomorra was systematical rape of foreigners by big groups of men of the city. On men, women and children.

      I personally think the mix up between "homosexuality" and "pedophilia" started at the same time, allowing the "mistranslation".

      (and witch hunts started at the Rennaissance, witches were generally tolerated by the church in the middle age)

        It's weird that the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah got so blatantly rewritten and people just accepted it, because Ezekiel addresses those sins more explicitly:

        Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.

            Ellen G. White, of the Seventh Day Adventists, got hit in the face with a stone.

            Mary Baker Eddy, of Church of Christ, Scientist, slipped on ice and hit her head.

            I wonder if there are other hits to the head leading to the creation of new religions? 🤔

              Usual Christian fundamentalist BS. Based on... 3 verses in the book of apocalypse if I remember correctly?

              Edit: it's called "Revelations" in English. I knew that. Bad Parade! Bad!

                It’s like 90% of what is presented as ‘traditional’ ‘biblical’ christianity: invented and solidified in the last century or so.

                every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

                    Curb your enthusiasm, this is a non sexual rapture.

                    We only get one sexual rapture every 99 years. Sorry but I don't make the rules.

                            @GayDeceiver it’s always the end of days for someone. But the book of revelation was written about living through a shitty government.

                                      Raised evangelical fundy here... godless heathen now ... read way too many books..

                                      But yeah as a little kid it always puzzled me why there were so many different variants within 'christianity' , Methodists, free methodists, baptists, catholics, Lutherans, Mormons, Episcopalian..... and then of course the answer is that they all 'don't have it quite right' and only our Sect/Denomination/Cult has it right..

                                          I forget who on mastodon made this image. It was not me and I would love to credit them if found.
