Also, did you know that 'gullible' isn't in the dictionary?
Sheesh. Why do they even have a rule against speculating on the date of the Rapture? They don't seem at all bothered by the constant implications that it's going to be any _minute_ now, so what's wrong with them explicitly stating it?
You know, I'd have posted that there myself just to see the reaction. For all the folks who think they've got a one-way ticket Upstairs, I can just imagine the panic if they find out in the most absolute way possible that no, they don't.
That would be a cruel prank, but hilarious.
LOVE THEIR RULES!!!
No Date Speculation
Date setting that does not come to pass hurts our credibility, can harm the faith of newer Christians and is not permitted. Date speculation includes predictions regarding the return of Christ on any day, month, year, or holiday (including any Jewish Holidays).
Sadly they had to embarrass themselves a lot before they brought it in. They couldn't even have the foresight to predict that, it had to be reactive!
Basically, anything falsifiable hurts us when its falsified. *sigh*
Let's pull up this thread and wave it in their faces once 2012 rolls by (which seems to be the main prediction date on the thread).
Actually, it would be nice to keep a list of all the predictions, and when the dates are passed, we tell them what they were thinking...
I just do not get these people. They hope that god will just pluck them up and they get excited by that possibility?
How is that better then living your life properly and then going to heaven when you die? Are they scared that they might have to lay in the ground for years before gods grabs them? Do they need the rapture to give justification to their beliefs?
IMO, it sounds like a suicide cult that lacks the courage of their convections.
Sorry to pounce on a typo. (sure sign I read here too much)
A convection cult! That'd be great! You burn in hell, but rise on the thermals, but as your soul condenses in heaven you slowly sink into the depths of hell again!
BEST PRANK EVER:
Set up an atheist convention in the same building as a fundie convention, and give magnets to all the atheists. Turn on a giant magnet on the roof so all the atheists get sucked upwards, as the fundies are going, "Oh shit".
You know, I think we all need to sign up onto their forums, pose as members for a few months, then one day create a mock up of CNN's site, Fox's site, and several other reputable ('reputable' meaning well known, not actually reputable, hence the inclusion of Fox), with a fake article running on the front page about millions of people suddenly vanishing all across the globe... all of us suddenly rush the forum at once, excitedly talking about the disappearances, posting new threads and linking articles...
Chamale: Your's is a brilliant idea, but I'm still partial to the "fill a fundie convention with knock-out gas, decorate everything like heaven, then leave 'em there until they wake up" idea.
@Philbert: *lol*
and yes, great prank!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
