I can walk into a crowded room and mention the Rapture and whoosh the room is empty. That is ok if you need a seat, , but does not say much for the people. I get the feeling that they are afraid, and do not want to hear what is comming.

I can walk into a crowded room and mention that reptilloids from the hollow center of the earth implanted microchips in my scrotum to shoot voodou sex rays at Barbara Walters and whoosh the room is empty.
That only proves that people avoid eye contact when you start talking like a lunatic.
"What is ahead is so much better than what we have here. I do not understand them."
Isn't what is ahead for them eternal hellfire? That's what you are about to tell them. They do not understand you.
And they think you are crazy as well as boring.
Bet most of them were Christians. Doesn't that tell you something? No, I'll give you a clue. MOST CHRISTIANS THINK RAPTURE IS NON-BIBLICAL NONSENSE!!!!! And they are right! Thank you, have a nice day!
"I can walk into a crowded room and mention the Rapture and whoosh the room is empty. ..."
Alas, poor kenny! He will never be raptured as he so desparately desires but he does bring on the Rapture for others, though only one room at a time. Like Typhoid Mary, who never actually suffered with the disease for which she is named, he is what is known as a "carrier."
Y'know I'm not the first to say this, but I feel so sorry for these people. What if they finally come to the realisation that they've wasted their lives focusing on an idea coming from a shoddy interpretation of the Bible, only to find that they've missed their chance to truly enjoy the life they have here?
Not only is it a life draining belief system, but it also bars them from making friends and having an active social life due to the extreme comments being totally off. So people are meant to be depressed, disappointed sheep because of such a belief?
Now I hope you understand why some people don't put themselves into this kind of thing.
How could you hope to understand someone with a measureable IQ?
@KTT: These people would still be fundies if not for their ridiculous belief in the rapture, so don't worry about it. They'd just be waiting to die to go to heaven rather than waiting for Jesus to come spirit them away.
I get the feeling that they are afraid, ...
Yeah, afraid Kenny's one of those religious nuts ...
"I can walk into a crowded room and mention the Rapture and whoosh the room is empty."
Good grief, he just mentions the Rapture and it happens!
Have you ever ridden a city bus? There's always that loon who smells like cat pee and cigarettes that nobody sits next to. Its because sitting next to him or making eye contact is to risk hearing a 30 minute rant about the 'guberment'. I once witnessed dueling crazies, both of whom were convinced the other was demon possessed, trying to exorcise each other in between stops. It was so hilarious I forgot how uncomfortable it was to be around mentally ill people.
Guess what? That's you! ;-)
"I do not understand them."
You're a fucking lunatic and they'd rather not be around you lest you pick that precise moment to snap completely and go on some sort of rampage. How hard is that to understand?
"I can walk into a crowded room and mention the Rapture and whoosh the room is empty..."
I wonder why...
"I do not understand them."
Honey, the sane people don't understand you, either. We're all going to die one day. I really don't want to hear about it from you, or any other frothing Bible thumper either. End rant.
They leave because they know what you're going to say, and nobody wants to listen to your Rupture drivel.
@Trovore -- Yes, some of us are fucking hilarious. The rest of us blend in to society almost perfectly. You can't tell by looking -- except in extreme cases -- who has a mental illness.
I can walk into a crowded room and mention the Rapture ...
Uh, Kenny, this has the social appeal of walking into a crowded room and mentioning hemorrhoids.
Lets see, jump out a second story window or listen to somebody go on about the rapture......
hmm.....
let me think......
If I roll, hopefully I wont get hurt too bad.
well, let me explain it for you.
they dont want to hear your fairy tales, because they think its bullshit
and they are more polite than you, so they arent going to tell you to shut the fuck up, instead they just leave.
I wouldn't leave. I'd tell you to shut the fuck up.
But I doubt it was the mentioning of the rapture, more likely the maniacal look on your face.
Deep Search and Old Viking(small internet, eh, O.V?)
I would much rather that someone walk into the room and fart, or mention hemerrhoids, or both. These are normal, real things, no matter how foul, and often a bit funny in a first-grader sort of way. Doesn't bother me at all except maybe on long car trips.
"I can walk into a crowded room and mention the Rapture and whoosh the room is empty." That could come in really, really handy!
Suppose you're on the freeway on your way to work, and you run into a traffic jam. Nothing but brake-lights ahead of you for miles, and no room to maneuver -- and you're running late. Just open your car window and yell, "RAPTURE!", and voila! All the cars will move aside to let you through. Just like that one scene in Bruce Almighty .
Now tell me that wouldn't rawk!
You find a cleared room confusing? What are you going to think when some guy who's wound too tight finally decks you in the schnozz when you start up with that obnoxious pap?
Oh, I know: demonic possession. It's the only answer.
I tend to avoid Rapture believers in the same way as I'd avoid, say, a racist. It's not out of fear so much as it is contempt for what they stand for.
Essentially, you believe that I, my whole family and the majority of my friends (all of whom are either nontheist or liberal Christians) are going to spend eternity in Hell and that we all deserve to go there for not believing in exactly what you believe. Am I wrong?
Prehaps many of them have heard of people like you, and thinked "Oh no, not those rapture guys again" and escaped.
The irony is, I bet most of them were crishtians.
They are afraid of having a monumental load of crap preached at them.
Sorry, but I had to laugh at this one. Welcome to the real world, kenny.
I have another theory: the room empties because they think you're a ticking nutjob that might go off any second. Keep your mouth shut, and people won't even notice you, let alone just quietly start backing away.
"I do not understand"
You got that right.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
