Christians: A lot of atheists say that they will be glad when we are taken in the Rapture?
But don't you think they will mourn when their innocent children are taken in the Rapture also?
Answer : They'll probably be happy to be rid of them, as it will give them more time to spend with themselves. See, they love themselves more than anything else. If they actually cared about their children, they wouldn't be playing roulette with their soul by not teaching them about Jesus Christ.

We say that in jest as we understand that the rapture will never happen.
P.S. According to your Bible, no one, not even infants, is innocent. Read your whole Bible, not just your hole.
Ooh, I thought he was going to mention that we atheists love to abort our children after they are born, but no, he mentions gambling instead! Well done for not using such a big cliche, Mr. Fundie!
*golf clap*
"See, they love themselves more than anything else"
[Insert witty masturbation joke here.]
"If they actually cared about their children, they wouldn't be playing roulette with their soul by not teaching them about Jesus Christ."
Show valid evidence that such a thing as a "soul" exists outside of delusional religious propaganda.
I thought everyone, including/especially babies, were born with original sin. Therefore, there is so such thing, to you fundies, as an 'innocent child'.
We could even stretch that to include when you claim abortion kills 'innocent babies'. They're not innocent to you, they're full of sin, right? Original sin?
No, because unsaved children aren't going to be raptured.
Also, I'm a virgin, so I'm personally unaffected.
Unless some sort of crazy plot device stole my DNA!
What to teach a young child about Jesus Christ:
"He wanted to be nice to other people, even the mean ones. Some stupid mean people killed him, and some other stupid mean people are still telling lies about him, even though they killed him two thousand years ago.
"The thing to remember is to be nice to other people. Watch out for the stupid people though. You're four years old now, so you can tell real easy who they are."
If they actually cared about their children, they wouldn't be playing roulette with their soul by not teaching them about Jesus Christ.
Well, if we're going by all the religions that ever existed, that revolved has something like ten thousand chambers.
Obviously the original poster failed to understand the fact that the atheists who are saying that they will be glad when the Rapture comes are being sarcastic and the second person is just a dick.
And I don't have kids, but when/if I ever do have kids, I will love them enough to teach them that they are capable of being good worthy people on their own. As opposed to teaching them that they are bad and wicked and going to burn for eternity if they don't spend their lives bowing down to some invisible being in the sky.
But don't you think they will mourn when their innocent children are taken in the Rapture also?
(a) the "Rapture" is a lot of nonsense. People have been saying it's going to happen "any day now" for the last 1,900 years.
(b) The Bible doesn't say innocent children will be Raptured. According to the Bible, if you ain't both a believer and baptized, you ain't goin'. And since all these Rapture Ready nuts are either Baptists or some southern US redneck cult that differs from Baptists in name only, it's a good chance their children are neither believers (not at the "age of accountability") nor are baptized.

Depends on whom you talk to. The Left Behind crowd believes that all children under the Age of Acountability (age 8) will get Raptured automatically.
"Also, I'm a virgin, so I'm personally unaffected."
There are several folks here on FSTDT who would be happy to cure you of this unfortunate condition.
[See, they love themselves more than anything else. ]
As opposed to you who loves your god more than anything? You psycho's would be more than happy to sacrifice your children to a non-existent sadist god.
[If they actually cared about their children, they wouldn't be playing roulette with their soul by not teaching them about Jesus Christ. ]
And if you really loved your children you wouldn't be gambling with their soul by not teaching them about Thor.
Rationalist - Sure Fundies are ignorant, but shouldn't we respect their beliefs?
Answer - Putting aside the fact that they do not respect anyone's beliefs but their own, you have to realize that fundies are not actually human beings. See, they actually have a vile ichor for blood and sacrifice nonbelievers to a mythical blood god. They are clearly an evolutionary offshoot of the hagfish.
(See how easy it is to answer your own questions with crap you just make up?)
"If they actually cared about their children, they wouldn't be playing roulette with their soul by not teaching them about Jesus Christ. "
We teach them about allah because islam is the real religion.
OF COURSE I teach my kids about Jesus Christ!
How he was a religious nut like Osama bin Laden.
How he was the only one of the forty rabble-rousers of his era to get a P.R. agent who was also a citizen of Rome.
How he died and is rotted. How he said he was going to come back 2000 years ago, but there are idiots still waiting for it to happen.
How could you ever think we atheists don't teach our kids about Jesus?
So, there are innocent children? I thought they are not innocent because of the deeds they would have done if the rapture didn't happen just then... because god knows what they would have done, if there was no rapture .... confused?!
read this slowly. Atheists (peple who don't believe in gods) are not (that's are NOT) expecting the rapture to happen at all. Neither are Jews, Muslims, Hindus or most Christians. Only a minority of, mostly American, evangelicals who follow a particular 19th Century sectarian, even heretical, reading of the Bible expect a rapture. the rest of the world is bemused by the whole thing.
Wait, was it not like that
a) The sins of the fathers should not burden the sons, but
b) Everyone is fucked because Adam and Eve were dumb shits?
So, noone is innocent.
Not even babies.
And another contradiction.
Man, I should play Ace Attorney...
The usual Rupture crap, with a whiff of Pascal's Wager thrown in for good measure in the last sentence.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn.
I'd attempt something witty, but frankly I'm not in the mood for it. Fuck you, you sanctimonious asshole. You have no business trying to say how other people think and feel, after all, lying is a sin. Also, your bible says that no one is innocent, so children wouldn't be spared. What a nice religion you have.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
