[On the topic of "Rapture Ready" Christians...]
You can count me in the “Not a Real Christian” group then.
These people haven’t even began to understand what they are reading (or, more likely, having “read” to them). They are a danger.
Jim, countering them? Well, first you talk to them. Then, if that doesn’t work— You kill them (not murder) and, at least if your me, you ask for forgiveness. Yes, I’m still attached to my life.
The point I take from the rapture is this—. Nothing lasts forever, not us and not the planet. Hope I’m wrong but I don’t think so.

This all reads like some sort of coward's castle doesn't it? Rather than engaging people where they are with a substantial debate - what do you do? Take a cut and paste and think you've got some cutting edge insights?
[Good point Professor - rising CO2 levels mean accelerated plant growth, more food production, shrinking deserts and more biodiversity - not less - all thanks to an industrial revolution and the Chinese Juggernaut]
For the benefit of imbecile atheists about to rage post, he is talking about killing "rapture ready" Christians who are unwilling to plan for the future - since there isn't one in their worldview - and in fact actively make things worse with their slavish support for Israel, anti-environmental policies etc.
bring me up to speed anonymous poster.
How many Fundies routinely post here?
Can this be turned? You know, like aversion therapy for switching off the Gay Gene? True, heathens are probably better at sarcasm, but I still don't think you'll be able to call it a match.
"Well, first you talk to them. Then, if that doesn’t work

This guy takes silencing the opponent to all to well known levels.
@ProfessorJimboSpice: That doesn't make it one bit better.
The key word here is 'people'.
I would've thought that the keyword was "killing".
I mean, it's a given that the rapture ready Christians are people, what else could they be? Iguanas?

I have no idea what the hell you're babbling on about you faggot.
Tut tut Professor ...
Daryl [subject] is being sarcastic but people here, yourself included, apparently want to take him seriously?
Is this it then- the best it gets here? Intellectual giants one and all.
Meanwhile the actual Green religion, sustainability mantra, is doing its bit to bankrupt Europe, America, Australia etc. and China is doubling its fossil fuel consumption, to which plants will grow faster, with improved Water Use Efficiency [WUE], deserts shrink, and on that basis the scoffing, mocking, commentariat think they have a "gotcha" moment to distinguish their genius.
'Real Christians' is getting to be an awfully small group, isn't it?
EDIT: So, what's with the influx of trolls today?
[well if it is an honest belly laugh i won't criticize. If we can't laugh at ourselves the field is lost]
Perhaps you get the odd troll.
But honestly I am here to see what the heathen are on about this week. What's their news? What's fashionable in wonderland?
And one does practice some rhetoric.
The little bit of discussion about supposedly incurable diseases got me thinking about Medical Ethics at least on this level:- if the medical profession are claiming success in saving people to what extent are they admitting culpability for deaths in their care? Does the failure of a treatment ever get responded to with calls for a rethink. Well obviously not here in these pages. Scientism is sacrosanct and Fundies are all to be scoffed at? So what don't I get? Bring me up to speed? Throw me your best insult. I'm actually here to learn.
Phillip-George(c)2013 - just passing , as soon as you included Australia in your list of bankrupt countries you lost the argument. Your just another right wing nut spreading bullshit. Does your worldview come from Fox news? Australia came out a winner to spite the GFC. And now we have right wing Rupert Murdoch telling us our Labour Government is a failure.
I'm actually here to learn.
Dude, you're in the wrong place. We don't do teaching. We just do pointing and laughing, like I said.
2007 post.
OP (Self-professed Christian) is proposing killing Rapture-ready Christians.
It doesn't matter how obviously simple, true and clear a side may be, somewhere there's a lunatic who supports it.
first you talk to them. Then, if that doesn’t work
You kill them (not murder)
Regardless of my (several) personal disagreements with the Rapturites, I would never condone any harm on their person. Violence only begets more violence.
Also, killing them would be murder, but then that's just me and every legal system on the planet.

So far, so good.

OW! Whiplash! I'll sue!

"Once that's accomplished you can go back to polishing your supercilious attitude."
Wow. Just...wow. I knew that the word "supercilious" existed, but I never thought I'd actually see someone use it plausibly in a sentence.
May I hug you for brightening my day in such fashion?
Wow, our fake Dawkins here is almost as big an asshole as the real one.
OP: How the flying fuck is killing someone "not murder"? Because you said so?
^ (Should read 'Anon-e-moose')
"The Leftovers": even Atheists are 'Raptured'.
...and a 19th Century heresy is further discredited. Those on Ruptured Retards have aneurysms, so they'd die anyway. >:D
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
