Honestly… I thought that the Christian Rapture was a religious concept going back to the very beginning of the religion.

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?
People are suckers for stories in which someone overcomes something, and if that person is clever enough to invoke The Devine Whatever, they start flocking to that person.

@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.

When is the next Rapture predicted?
Tomorrow morning, Friday, between 7.30am and 8.45am.
You will have to go to work at 9am though. Because reasons.

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.
This toot is evergreen:
Rev. Poppy Haze 𓅋 (@poppyhaze@girlcock.club)
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.

It's my rapture too, it is as sexual as I want to make it. My dick and balls will continue to fly free today!

It can be both! You, whip your dick out. You, keep it in your pants. And YOU! Put down that waffle. You know we discussed that sort of perversion not being allowed in a rapture. Have a good end of the world, y'all.

@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..
