the RAPTURE, coming soon???

[darkbeer]

Dear God:

Please have that Rapture thing happen soon...like today or this week at the latest... That way you can remove all the "moral conservative/religiholics" and the rest of us can get to work cleaning up the horrendous mess they have made...
Think of it like cleaning out the cat box with that slotted scooper thingy...it really is getting sorta stinky down here!

Thanks

PS: love those tree things you invented...they're shade in the summer & you made them so they give off oxygen...now THAT was way cool.....say "hi" to the J-man for me.

[livi]

Elaborate please !

Or you just thinking out loud ?

[vash]

no he is talking to himself.

[motion]

Yes, we need examples of how the morally conservative have ruined society with their strive to uphold decency.

And who is the J-man?

[darkbeer]

it would just be so fun if all those folks busy playing God, actually got to meet her....

only the chosen "know" the J-man...............

(hint hint....he's that tall, good looking 'white' guy with black hair & blue eyes that was born awhile back to a middle eastern mother, IN the middle east!!! anyone familiar with genetics is surely amazed at THAT feat...)

Editors note: the "middle east" is NOT the same as "middle earth"...

[livi]

You referring to that J-man that Dan Brown wrote about ? What was the name again of that gal he surprisingly was banging..

[sammyg2]

Shame on you.

[FrayAdjacent911]

Morals are BAAAD. We should just let everyone do whatever they want to. Who cares if it erodes society and it's traditional institutions?

Marriage ain't the fairy tale you thought it was? Just get divorced!!

Oops! Got pregnant because you and your partner were stupid and irresponsible? Get an abortion!!

Racked up too much credit card debt buying useless stuff? Just file bankruptcy!!


But harsh punishment for criminals, like, say, the death penalty for convicted murders is just WRONG.

What a thoughtful Memorial Day message darkbeer. You fit in perfect with the people over at the Daily Kos.

Ever think that those just might be left behind as well? Being Moraly conservative, and religious, doesn't count. Pick up the four gospels and read them, you'll find Jesus blasts the local "religious" people who try to force their morals on the country as not having what it takes in a few places.

I seem to recall something about not praying loudly on the street corner, but praying in private... It also seems to me that the purpose of prayer is supposed to be to ask for guidance, not for results.

But what do I know about the Bible compared with Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson?

That almost fit my description except with blond hair and I was born here. Besides that, I'm with motion, please provide examples of how the morally conservative have ruined society with their strive to uphold decency.

I think he's talking about the Golden Rule.

[Porsche-O-Phile]

I can think of no other single institution in history than organized religion that has resulted in so much bigotry, hatred, suffering and death. "Morality" exists outside of belief in any religion or god. I really don't see what religious beliefs provide other than a delusional "feelgood" to people either looking for (1) some purpose or meaning to their otherwise meaningless and empty existences or (2) some comfort in dealing with the inevitability of our own deaths.

It's time we as a society moved past the ridiculous notions of the past. If we want to promote a civilized and "moral" society, that's fine. Structure, order and rules are good. Respect for fellow man is good. Religion accomplishes virtually none of these while pretending to do so.

Sorry, but when things outlive their usefulness it's time for them to go. I think religion outlived its "usefulness" centuries ago - and even then it was only "useful" in reinforcing the power bases of the aristocracies in power.

For those who want to know something; the word "rapture" is not found in the Bible.

Either is the teaching...
