I'd like to see a movie where all the christian conservatives get raptured up to heaven, only to find out it's actually all the worst parts of how it's been described: a eternal church service of fawning over a tyrant who demands constant worship, adoration, and absolute obedience. Meanwhile, back on earth, with no more conservatives around, the people left behind build a just, equitable, and prosperous paradise.

That almost sounds like something they'd be into.

I deeply want for them to have that homogeneous theocratic ethnostate in the sky. I would give a lot just to let them fuck off to go exist with only eachothers company

What if people were actually raptured a long time ago and what's left is us. We're all just crazy degenerates left here fighting each other while the sane nice people actually did disappear

The idea of "Rapture" is very recent; and based on a very problematic pseudo-theology.

But for your idea, something more theologically solid relates to the idea that God is the source of all good, a world where God is entirely absent would be only evil and suffering, Hell.

It gets more complicated than that if the one God is an omnipotent creator of all.

Yes, long ago, but this:

I hope they all go to heaven, I don't wanna risk getting to know them in my steamy paradise.

Maybe this is the bad place?

Motherforking shirt balls.

That would be the best birthday present I ever received.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago

I wish. The world would be a much better place today if they were raptured yesterday.

They do support an Antichrist...

He’s just cosplaying Nero.

[–] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 1 points 5 months ago

Nero didn't pretend to care about Christians or for their support; although if there were MAGA-like "Christians" in the Roman Empire he maybe might have liked them?

When they don't get taken up by the rapture, do believers think they weren't devout enough or that they were lied to? Probably neither

[–] vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 months ago

Maybe they get ruptured instead.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

What about the rupture?

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago

But that's not how the rapture works. Those who don't go to heaven stay on earth to suffer through the battle between Jesus and the antichrist.

What, butt-first? Or downwards? Or butt-first AND downwards
