No one knows, not even angels in heaven will know when the rapture will occur.

I'm old enough now to have lived through at least 5 or 6 so-called end days, hellfire and brimstone, rapture, whatever you wish to call it. I'm still here. Seems everything else is, too. Nothing has changed nor will it.

Any time you hear exact predictions of this-or-that, especially in religious settings or context, turn and walk away. You'll be just fine.

IF it occurred yesterday and you and I and other banjo players are still here, what does that tell you about banjo players?

I thought the fiddle was the devil’s instrument? Anyone hearing me play it would agree.

Dang, sounds like I missed out on a good old-fashioned rapturin' yesterday. I bet it was a hell of a time.

I told the lower ranked --slightly demoted angel driver ---to go on without me with his stretched chariot--I said-that I would be drivin my tractor up there a little later-- with important things in the trailer

We’re here cuz we’re not all there

The rapture happened on schedule, and not a single human was judged worthy of salvation.

A good thing I missed it. My ascension robe was at the cleaner's.

I heard a few people sold their possessions. I'd look on those who purchased the goods at steep discounts with some suspicion.

I got raptured once………………………………once!!!
Slammer!!!

Damn !  I thought they said it was Rupture Day............I spent all day trying to pick up a 500 lb weight !

Or we could have all gone and just don't realize it yet .

I went, came back...didn't know anybody there. The HOA rule list was a mile long and the harp selection looked to have come from Harbor Freight.

I understood the rules were: "No politics or religion."
If it is now ok to discuss religion and mock Christian beliefs, can I go ahead and say what I really think about politics too?

This isn't really what I consider religious and it's okay to  have a little fun and a few laughs about something is so unlikely to happen right now.   No one is mocking Christian beliefs. 

Calm down and don't get upset, please.

no one was truly dissing or advocating a religion--just remarking on current events,looking for humor among the masses ,that used to enjoy public hangings, --

the rules around here are more like sheriff andy not letter of the law barney--

my opinion and i ask no agreement-nor likes -nor subscriptions--

no problem that I tend to  see--unless some dummy comes trying to save us or another dummy comes-- shooting the one trying to saves us

If I get a chance-I'm takin my tractor and trailer load

I don't think that God wants the banjo players.
They're all destined for ... "somewhere else"... 

some of the guys up there are pulling strings hoping we get a little better before they get stuck with us

I appreciate your concern for my emotional state, but I can assure you I am quite calm and not the least bit upset. 

There are a number of posts above that are clearly mocking religious beliefs.  While some of them are obvious attempts at humor, the majority of them fall rather short.  Don't quit your day jobs, guys.

Some of you are pretty bold to assume there's no Wi-Fi in heaven.

Jon has a fair point.

What exactly would you consider religious if this isn't?

The post is literally mocking some peoples' religious beliefs. 

 

Please don't tell him to calm down/not get upset. (that's gaslighting, not moderating)

Surely there is some distinction to be made between mocking belief in the Rapture in a general sense and remarking (if a bit snidely/sarcastically) upon the objective fact that it failed to occur yesterday. That latter was a belief, and one unequivocally disproven. I hope I'm not breaking a rule by saying that, but that's the truth.
