Chick is getting rapture ready!

Just as bad as usual.

I think I have a sadistic streak when I post new chicks here.

You can't help read them but at the same time you all know it will hurt your sanity :evil:

Ya know, this 'rapture' thing is kind of a funny opportunity.

All the Christians think that someday, sometime, without warning, all the 'faithful' are going to spontaneously vanish from the earth without warning and without a trace.

Imaging what an unscrupulous X-Files style military group could do with THAT knowledge.

Tim: "Bob...he...he...is gone!"
Jim: "Well, must be the rapture. Do you hear a faint yelling?"
Tim: "Must be Satan's minions coming to punish those who are left behind."
Jim: "Yep. Well, better get ready for that good ol' faith-building end-times torture."

I'm all for the Rapture. The Faithful will ascend, and leave their stuff behind. Granted, the current power structure will cause this to render the USA a wasteland, but it'll be fun. Really.

The thing that scares me is that Chick's "trustworthy Christian" guy here looks like a star from a bad porno.

Jack's best work is years behind him. I get the feeling that this one is one of his anti-Catholic rants (that thread seems to take up the largest number of pages), but he's gotten so incoherent that the message is getting lost (BTW, Biblically speaking, the Catholic Church can't possibly be the Whore of Babylon). I wonder if he has Alzheimer's Disease or some other infirmity of the brain.

Can you even 100% confirm that it was Sarin on that little handheld device?

Me too. (nods to Durandal) :wink:

Seriously though, those things are a riot, and they do sometimes contain interesting tidbits of truth among all of the bullshit.

It's knowing the difference between the BS and what's true that's the challenge when reading one.
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier
