[on the TV show, Futurama]
Not only does this show contain sexual innuendo, blasphemy against our faith, and promotes the false belief in alien life forms, but it also takes place in the year 3000 (by which time the rapture will most likely have come)...

Well the rest of it, I could live with, but I'm not gonna stand here and listen to my rights to live in a world where everyone has accepted the dire inevitability of the Rapture, come under attack by stupid godless animators! I've had enough!
You DO NOT fuck with Futurama! Where the hell is Morbo?
The arguement is moot anyway, Futurama tells us that Jesus returns in 2108 and it results in the destruction of all videotapes.
Sexual innuendo? I thought there were points where Fry did the nasty... not to mention Snu Snu
The Space Pope disagrees.
And how is belief in aliens any more false than your belief in a talking snake?
Rapture is BS, it does not even exist in the canon of your own professed religion
Bender: "Oh your God!"
Yet Futurama says that Jesus returns in 2108.... So thereby backing your ass.
And what blasphemy? Seriously, it's a cartoon.
Osiris :
You forgot "Meatbag".
Wait until this guy discovers family guy, robot chicken, or Moral Orel. I believe his head may, in fact, explode.
@ onoma Drawn Together . Which actually makes fun of the Rapture in Season 3.
Also, the real reason you hate Futurama, Eddie, is because you're profoundly jealous of what a brilliant show it is, and you know that nothing you do will ever compare. Or, in Bender's words, "Compare your lives to mine and kill yourselves!"
Let's not forget that God is an omniscient computer. There are women wearing men's wear, men wearing women's wear (Brannigan, anybody?), and worst of all casual acceptance of nudity!!!
Didn't you Funditards say the Rapture was going to happen in 2000? didn't happen then, won't happen in 3000.
And it's sheer hubris to think that in the infinite universe, that this blue marble is the only one to support life. Where is your proof, other than quoting your book of fairy tales, that there is no other life in the universe? Have you personally visited everywhere?
Actually, Futurama is very pro-christian. Zoidberg and his fellow lobster-people were made in God's true image. That's right, God is a lobster and he made the whole universe just for them. Why else do you think the bible forbids the eating of shellfish? It is you who is following a false religion. That means since you're not a lobster you don't have a soul which means you won't go to heaven but atleast you won't go to hell either. So cheer up.
Hey! Eddie Reynolds!

Heh. I wish Futurama WERE real, I'd totally join that religion somehow.
"Why couldn't he join a mainstream religion, like Oprahism, or voodoo?"
Man I love Futurama.
There's Christian 'humility' for you, thinking that we are the only life form that exists in billions of galaxies full of millions of stars each. When you get to that number, even the low probabilities behind evolution are in one's favor.
But the rapture... didn't Jesus say it would come within the lifetime of the people he was speaking to then? Its late.
They are just mad because we always use Morbo to fight against them when they don't know how something works.
The year 3000:
"by which time the rapture will most likely have come"
"by which time the rapture will most likely have come"
"by which time the rapture will MOST LIKELY have come"
You mean this rapture rubbish could potentially go on for another thousand years? I'm inclined to cryogenically freeze myself and Eddie Reynolds Fry-style, just to pop out and say "Well, where is it, smart arse?"
I vote....
Bite my shiny metal ass!
Stop being so politically correct and learn to laugh at yourself.
Oh, wait. That's what people like you love to say, but turnabout is not fair play.
But, but... I thought Everybody Loves Hypnotoad!
Bender: There's no God, and your idiotic human ideals are laughable!Fry: Phew! That's a load off my mind.
Mmmm...Slurm.
That rapture concept is incompatible with the real universe...sorta like science fiction cartoons, but it's less humorous and more ridiculous at the same time.
Not only are LOTR and Harry Potter, as fantasy, superior to g0d-ite scripture, but Futurama beats out the second coming bullshit.
Poor Eddie.
Ha ha! You're retarded! It's a fucking cartoon, dipshit. Aww did it hurt your wittle feewings? Oh, please, you people don't get mocked enough for all the shit you do.
Don't let this guy see the latest series of Doctor Who- in one episode, the human race is still around in the year 100 Trillion!
Apparently, the rapture is imminent... possibly just 99,999,999,999,999,997,993 years away
Alright, fundies. You can insult my most cherished beleifs (and lack thereof), but when you insult Futurama, you've taken it too damn far!
I have no words.
Really, I don't.
(except those)
Brannigan: "That's ok, I've got a very SEXY religion. What's it called, Kip?"
Kip: "*sigh* Sexcopiscipalian."
Let's just turn this into a Futurama quotes thread, shall we?
"Ahh... she's built like a steakhouse, but handles like a bistro!"
Don't let this guy see the latest series of Doctor Who- in one episode, the human race is still around in the year 100 Trillion!
Unfortunately, I rather think that contradicts both Christian mythology and evolutionary theory - wouldn't the species have diverged and become unrecognisable by then?
Brain in a jar: There *was* the Futurekind... I sort of thought that they and the other humans had split from each other, in a sort of "The Time Machine" way or something...
That, and it's Doctor Who. It's never been particularly big on accuracy from what I've seen.
No, the rapture will not come until the year 467,210 AD. (Seriously, the Bible DOESN'T SAY - in fact, it says you CAN'T KNOW. So any random number I can come up with is just as (in)valid.)
Morbo laughs at your pathetic human attempt at slandering futurama.
BTW, robot satan says he has a special place in robot hell for you.
"and promotes the false belief in alien life forms"
Yeah, billions of stars, trillions of planets in are galaxy alone, millions of galaxies. And are ball of dirt on the edge of the milky way is the ONLY one with intelligent life. All because a ridicolous book of myth only about half of the planets population believes in says so. Arrogant jackass.
Perhaps, by the time in which Futurama is set, the rapture is supposed to have already happened. The lack of a fundamentalist 'anchor' holding humanity back would also explain all the flying cars, interstellar spaceships and other technological marvels.
Well he isn't wrong, according to Futurama the Second Coming occurs in 2108. They're still dealing with the effects though, the destruction of all videotapes and I understand Zombie Jesus is still at large.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
