ARE YOU PREPARED TO SPIRITUALLY WITHSTAND A FAKE RAPTURE?
Elite world leaders know that the desire for a Rapture out of this sin-cursed world is the most important desire in many Christian hearts. Therefore, knowing this, and possessing the technological ability to simulate such the rapture, the Illuminati just may pull it off -- just to try to deceive and destroy the faith of limitless numbers of Christians. As these two Illuminati Card Game cards -- shown above -- indicate, the Illuminati fully understands the Christian doctrine of the Rapture and they intend to stage their own Messiah.
I do not know enough about the specific technology to know exactly how such a fake rapture would be carried out; however, I do know that such an event is technologically possible. I believe it would take only a couple of elements to deceive the unsaved world and the undiscerning Christian.
1. If all the major networks suddenly simultaneously broke through to announce that tens of thousands of people are suddenly missing.
2. If these networks showed a film prepared beforehand, where people will be shown to be here on earth one second and mysteriously gone the next.
3. If "experts" were suddenly interviewed saying that this may be the foretold Rapture of the Church
4. Maybe, just maybe, 3-dimensional holographic images might project people on sparsely occupied streets, seemingly walking down the street, and then having them disappear right in front of real people's eyes. This would produce the eye-witness accounts so needed to give this event the weighty credibility. I know the technical problem exists of having the 3-dimensional holographic images superimposing themselves upon real people, a problem that would blow the cover of the operation; however, I have learned not to underestimate the technological capabilities of Hollywood. Certainly, the news accounts simply would not air the testimony of someone who claimed he or she saw the holographic images on top of real people.
The vast majority of mankind would believe it; too many Christians would also be convinced they had missed the real Rapture of the Church.

Um....OK. Steve Jackson is gonna be pissed that you reproduced a full photo of the copyrighted artwork from the Illumaniti Card Game without permission...
I own that card game. It also contains cards with Elvis on it. Grey aliens abducting humans. The return of Cthulthu, zombie attacks, the mind control properties of flouride, and Hitler's brain in a jar.
If you actually take that seriously, you have some big personal problems to take care of.
And as for your "3-dimensional holographic images..." You have been watching too much TV. Holograms don't work that way, they require a surface to be projected on. It doesn't work like in Star Wars, you can't just point a hologram projector at a point in space and make an image appear...that's basic physics, man. It's a light projection , and projected light continues in a straight line until it hits something. You can't "program" light to go out, say, thirty feet and just stop.
If you could do that, you have succeeded in violating the basic underlying physics of the universe, and probably don't need to wait for God to begin the Rapture because you likely are God.
Yeah, sure that'll work. I mean, the scientists have been creating lies about dinosaurs for 200 years and they haven't been found out. (rolls eyes)
Seriously, give me an ounce of whatever it is you are smoking. I want to be so messed up that I think THAT makes sense to me too.
I think that people would notice that there are a few billion projections and that, apart from the people (projections) no one knew, everyone is still in place.
They would ned to abduct huge numbers of people, dump them someplace where they cannot be found, simulate a "beast" coming out of the sea, have it do miracles and everyone has to suffer for several months. If that does not happen, your "rapture" hasn't happened either.
"Therefore, knowing this, and possessing the technological ability to simulate such the rapture, the Illuminati just may pull it off "
Beam me up Scotty.
"I do not know enough about the specific technology to know exactly how such a fake rapture would be carried out; however, I do know that such an event is technologically possible."
Ask Mike Okuda, he knows how it's done.
Sandman, holograms do appear to work that way. The light stops when it hits your retina, creating an image that makes you see a translucent object sitting in the middle of the holography apparatus.
It's nice to know they're at least attempting to address the constant false alarms those nuts keep spewing out; too bad they're doing it in a typically moronic way.
And I guess I've broken God's never-before-disclosed law against copying the document, as has every person who's read it since they MUST make a copy and place it in their computer's memory in order to READ the fucking thing.

Sorry, I don't think God ever said anything about the RIAA's version of copyright law being the right one.
As for the rest ... dude, lay off the shrooms.
Gadzooks, these people have so little grasp of reality, it's a wonder they can function in society, especially when it seems to be society that they most fear (or at least its invisible but supposedly supreme rulers). If there's another contender this month for the Tinfoil Hat Prize, it's got quite a standard to meet!
And that last line is worthy of an FSTDT entry all by itself -- especially considering its hypocrisy, with the site displaying others' copyrighted work without permission!

That's right, Tara, GURPS Supers is proof that supervillains are trying to undermine our fair society, and GURPS Transhuman Space is proof that genetic enhancements for offspring as well as bioroids and androids are on the drawing boards to replace "natural" humanity!

Ah, Cutting Edge Ministries! For a reeeally wild time, go into their archives. My favorite headline: "Has [sic] Illuminati Changed the Date to Ignite Jupiter?"
Wonder what they would come up with if we sent them a copy of Warehouse 23?
Irene
I hope these guys don't get ahold of Warehouse 23 , or they'll be screaming about how the Crystal Skull is beaming them messages from Hitler about the Hollow Earth and a quest to find the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail, and the Spear of Longinus -- and how that liberal news mogul, Rupert Murdock, is covering up the Truth!
ETA: Whoops! Hey there, Irene! I guess great minds think alike! :cheesy grin:
Mister Spak, that's not exactly what I'm talking about. A hologram needs to be projected onto a surface, a glass panel, a mist curtain, a prisim. Something needs to interrupt the light to form the image that you eye then registers, otherwise it will just keep going. Think of it like a movie projector pointed down the street with no screen in front of it. The movie wouldn't just project in mid air.
You can't just point it as a spot in the middle of the street and make an image appear there. Light rays simply don't work that way.
The only way you could get it to appear to be in the middle of the street is if you projected the image directly onto the surface of the retina from a very close distance, and the projecter and the eye were kept absolutely still in relation to each other.
Elite world leaders know that the desire for a Rapture out of this sin-cursed world is the most important desire in many Christian hearts.
As the Rapture wasn't invented until 1831 I suspect the vast majority of 'Christian hearts' find it blasphemous.
'For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book'
Revelation 22:18
Actually, I suspect that the vast majority of Christians never even heard of the Rupture, and here in Europe most of the Christians I know would consider it the sign of a cult of the Cool Aid variety...
The Rapture is actually not a very widely embraced idea in Christianity. Catholics and Orthodox generally do not accept it as truth. Anglicans, and most other liturgical protestant churches also don't teach it. Lutherans don't teach it, but neither do they specifically deny it. (Lutherans have this weird thing that if it doesn't specifically state it in the Bible, then you can't say it's 100% for sure true. They don't deny the Rapture because nowhere in the Bible does it say it isn't going to happen...kind of a catch-22, but at least you know where you stand with them.)
In fact, the only churches that do preach the Rapture are the more charismatic protestant denominations, your Southern Baptists, Pentecostalists, 7th Day Adventists, and the like. That group only makes up about 18-20% of Christians world-wide.
I was going to write a long, drawn out post refuting each of thier so called "points", but then, I suddenly realized that I could do it with just one word:
Fnord.
Take that, Cutting Edge Ministries!
Sandman:
You are wrong. A hologram is not projected on a screen. A hologram could appear in the middle of the street if you put a laser and the grating in the street. The image would not appear on a solid surface, it would appear to be freestanding in midair, or if the apparatus was set up right, standing on the ground.
A hologram is not a picture like a slide that duplicates itself when projected on a surface. Its an interference pattern that reconstructs
the recorded object in 3 dimensions. You can even make a 360 degree hologram that has a back that can be seen by walking to the back of the image.
Can you back that up Spak? I'm a bit of a gizmo geek and I've never heard of something that fancy. Not in clear regular air.
How did Steve Jackson know about the events. Well, somebody tried to carbomb the twin towers in 1993, but teh cards were relaesed before the Timothy McVeigh bombing. The Pentagon is a common conspiracy item (and it's depicted as being nuked, not sustaining an assault from the side) and I have no clue what the hell third one they're talking about is.
Mister Spak, you're not quite right - it WOULD appear to hang in the air, but you'd only be able to see parts of it against the background of the street surface, since that's where the light would be emanating from. You couldn't, for example, look at a part of the hologram and the horizon on the same axis - that's the real holy grail of holography.
Wonderful. So if the Rapture does happen, but not according to how he believes it does, then it's a fake? Then won't accept the Messiah, he'd think it wasn't Jesus and a false one, then he'd go to Hell?
I say we stage more fake Raptures. Then if they do happen to be right, they'll be so weary of Raptures, they'll think the real one is fake and all go to Hell.

Yikes, that much!? That's still 1 out of 5 Xians... I was kinda thinking/hoping that they amounted to less than 5% :(
If these guys are basing reality on the Illuminati card game, I think I'll base mine on Pokemon. World domination is all very well, but at least I'll finally get that Gyarados I always wanted.
I don't know whether to base mine on RPG settings (DnD, INS, L5R, Shadowrun,...), manga universes or Marvel and DC comics universes. Well, In any case my reality will be a multiverse, I love to have a lot of options.
If rapture ever happens, and like 90% of the world doesn´t believe on that(most Christians included), it will mean nothing, for only four isolated geeks will go to Heaven. Very lonely, isn´t it?

Well, what word would you use?
If the elites are intelligent, they should know that the Rapture is shared by only 1% of the Christian population. So, your plan is utterly stupid. You know, getting out of mamma's basement helps.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
