[on how many people will be raptured
We start with 100%
Then the second seal:WW3(or 4 or 5 depending)
Due to being cut short 5% would be a safe estimate
Now we have 95%
Now the third seal: food crisis
7% would be appropriate
88%
Now fourth seal: disease
Due to quarantine measures probably more like 2%
86%
Sixth seal: earthquake
Theres a sucker punch, 9%
77%
First trumpet: hailstorm
Because of being flaming hail, 12%
65%
Second trumpet: monster meteor
Well see this from half a solar system away, 3%
62%
Third trumpet: poison meteor + infected water
It says many so a lot more than the last ones, 15%
47%
Fourth trumpet: dim sun, extreme cold
More scary than deadly at this point, 4%
43%
Sixth trumpet: killer demons
It says a third, 43/3, rounded for simplicity, is 14%
29%
Third bowl: rivers & lakes to blood
At this point reserves will be enough, 3%
26%
Fourth bowl: sun intensified, super heat
Really just something we see coming by now, 5%
21%
Seventh bowl: end
There we have it. 21%, keep in mind that this is rough and approximate. And I left out anything that doesn’t cause mass death.

How did you like, calculate this?
Were there algorithms?
As a serious question, does anyone know what the first seal is?
How would seeing a meteor stop it from killing everyone?
If I were your god, and I decided to make the sun stop warming, then suddenly intensify... I think that would take care of all 100% right there --- so, by your own logic I'd make a better "end-times" god than your god.
This is by far one of the stupidest things I have ever read.
"And I left out anything that doesn't cause mass death."
Doesn't most of the things you listed cause mass death?
So the percentages are a proportion of the world's population, and the ones who will live in the New Jerusalem (or whatever) will be selected from the Christians in the 21% of the world's population? 21% from 6 billion is 2,1 billion. Wow, fundie math is getting more sophisticated!
Interesting, but I believe you're supposed to go with what the bible actually says, which is 144,000 people.
Also, it says NOTHING AT ALL about your stupid "rapture."
Therefore, you fail at...well, everything you attempted there, really. Congrats!

I believe you wrote this after SMOKING seven bowls.
Um... each of those percentage points is mass death. 60 million people for each point. If you don't call that mass death, then you really are messed up. Either way you really seemed to enjoy killing off 79% of all human life on the planet. For some reason I just don't think Jesus would approve.
Besides... you're just making crap up. Lying for Jesus to satisfy your death fantasies is some screwed up shit.

Ha, as if a meteor visible from Jupiter or so wouldn't absolutely decimate the earth, he has to throw in the 'poison' meteor...
wtf is this shit? sounds like he's playing Magic or something
Wait ... is this guy actually a POST -tribulation Rapturist?
Shhh, don't tell the Rapture Ready crowd! They'd have a cow.

If it's a "monster meteor" (not to mentioned a poisonous one!), there's no way in hell it would only kill 3% of the population. It would not selectively kill, since it impacts such a large area. What do you think you're going to do, sidestep it with your ninja skills?
Calculating percentages doesn't actually work that way!
Besides, I'm sure a "monster meteor" that's "visible from half a solar system away" would obliterate most, if not all, life on Earth (save certain extremophile microbes and deep sea dwellers).
Brent: "How is this different from masturbation?"
More math?
Also, an orgasm leaves you full of endorphins and other good things. This submission is calculating (with a certain degree of loving detail) how many people will die if his particular "write down the second letter of every seventh word in each alternating book in the Bible, and unscramble the secret message" interpretation of his holy book somehow , in defiance of every kind of logic, turns out to be right. So really, I think you could make a strong case for wanking being a far better use of one's spare time.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere not too long ago that if a big chunk of space debris were to hit us, we'd have maybe eleven seconds' notice before it hit. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I'd read.
Uh, Adventure Quest and Dragon Fable lean heavily on magic and mystical beings. What the hell are you doing playing these games?
Oh, and quit making shit up. The bible says 144,000 male Jewish men who have not been corrupted by the touch of a woman. That's it.
“how many people will be raptured
We start with 100%”
That’s silly.
Read the Sermon on the Mount and then read the headlines. No more than 2% of the Christains if God’s generous and Jesus lost his notes. That’s your starting point. All the people obeying Jesus’ orders, not rejecting them as ‘woke shit.’
Welcoming refugees, donating to charity, extending SNAP benefits, increasing Welfare, and paying their taxes.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
