"but it looks like what you expect with Hollywood, showing people who believe in the rapture as being mentally not all there."

"Some are tauntingly enquiring, 'Have you not gone up?' Even little children in the streets are shouting continually to passersby, 'Have you a ticket to go up?' The public prints, of the most fashionable and popular kind
are caricaturing in the most shameful manner of the 'white robes of the saints,' Revelation 6:11, the 'going up,' and the great day of 'burning.' Even the pulpits are desecrated by the repetition of scandalous and false reports concerning the 'ascension robes', and priests are using their powers and pens to fill the catalogue of scoffing in the most scandalous periodicals of the day."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Disappointment#Psychological_perspective
'The Great Disappointment is viewed by some scholars as an example of the psychological phenomenon of cognitive dissonance. The theory was proposed by Leon Festinger to describe the formation of new beliefs and increased proselytizing in order to reduce the tension, or dissonance, that results from failed prophecies. According to the theory, believers experienced tension following the failure of Jesus' reappearance in 1844, which led to a variety of new explanations. The various solutions form a part of the teachings of the different groups that outlived the disappointment.'
'In technical terminology... she's a loon.'

Oh, I'm afraid Hollywood doesn't need to demonstrate how your (C)Rapturists aren't 'all there'. Even post-1844, people knew then, that those who 'believed' in a (C)Rapture were insane.
Seems that Friedrich Nietzsche wasn't only right, re. him saying 'God is Dead':
'A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.'
Another old saying is relevant: Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.
Weren't you lot on Ruptured Retards among the first to condemn Harold Camping & his followers, re. 21st May/October 2011, regarding people who believe in (C)Rapture 'date-setting' as being mentally not all there? Well, just as the 'Campers' experienced their Great Disappointment II & III a couple of years ago, enjoy your daily Great Disappointment, whenever the clock strikes midnight wherever you are, Betty & co.
The phrase 'Denial is not a river in Egypt'. It exists for a reason. When you're about to breathe your last on your deathbeds, Raptards, still there, still unsucked off by your J-man, Do you want to say 'We Atheists told you so, or will we?! >:D
