We had been concerned about our much-loved dog being cared for when we leave in the Rapture.
What makes you so sur that A) That rapture is going to happen in your lifetime, and B) That you will be one of the people raptured in the first place?
Bailey was only seven and in good health when he just upped and died on us the other morning.
If he up and died then he can't have been all that healthy, and dependong on the breed of dog seven years can be quite old.
but when we started questioning why it happened (as we all do, even though it all ends with "blessed be the name of the Lord") we remembered the rapture connection
What "Rapture connection"? There is nothing in scripture that even so much as alludes to the idea that "just before the rapture god will kill off the pets of all true christians", in fact everything you people believe about the rapture is nothing more than fanfic of your own invention.
Suddenly we felt like the rapture was going to be very soon and God was sparing us the worry.
Then Why not just rapture the dog too? Isn't your "god" supposedly all powerful? Why can't he spare you the worry of about your dog by rapturing it instead of just killing your dog?
It just seems weird that we've been praying for Bailey to have a long and healthy life and then he just drops dead!!
Dogs die, and prayer fails.
so since we believe it's God's will that he died, we don't want to get another dog
So your dog dies, which all dogs do, and that is supposed to be a sign from "god" to not get another dog because you are about to get hoovered up to heaven? If that where the case then shouldn't he to the same to all the pets of all of the "true christians? If not, then what makes you so special?
But, hmmm, get ready everyone!!
Get ready for what? Jesus said that he would return in the disciples lifetimes, he didn't. It's like you people are the homely shy girl that the high school jock asked to go to the Prom as a joke. You got stood up 2,000 years ago but you're still waiting around saying "just wait 5 more minutes, I'm sure he'll show up by then", meanwhile the jock is off fucking the head cheerleader and laughing at you. Except in this case the jock is just a figment of your imagination.
