How do you know that we all haven’t been raptured out of it?
If this is heaven then it sucks.
Either way, it is not referenced nor spoken of in the KJV (or any previous incarnation).
Actually, KJV is the least reliable of the translations to English. Revelations in the KJV was based on the Latin Vulgate - and not on any of the Greek manuscripts available. I’ve also heard that Shakespeare wrote parts of it, and you know that fellow loved a good joke!
“You see, the thing about heaven is that heaven for is for people who like the sort of things that go on in heaven.”
Nobody has said it yet?
Thanks Obama.
And all this, our current experiences, are just residual electricity in the meat sacks, and our souls are elsewhere doing other, presumably more important, things? Interesting idea, kind of makes me want to take the day off to play. That’s probably not a good idea.
It takes me back to a conversation I had with my mom, when I was a little kid.
Me: What if none of this is real, and I’m just having a dream or something? Or god is making me think all this stuff is real, but it’s a trick?
Mom: Yeah, I guess that’s possible, but if you act like it’s true, it could get you into trouble. If you try to fly, but you can’t fly, that would hurt. And, if you are bratty or mean to us because you think we’re all in your head, you’ll get spanked, whether we are real or not.
Me: oh.
My mom, always the voice of reason.
You can totally skip that now.
1:00 PDT in Pasadena, nothing’s happened at home yet…
Nor in my office in Burbank. Business as usual.
Hey waitaminute… having trouble feeling this keyboard all of a sudd
OK, It’s midnight in Jerusalem and Jesus is a no show again.
Why to they keep inviting him to these ends of the world if he never shows up? If they want a reliable substitute I can recommend the Rt. Hon Tub of Lard MP.
That’s probably as a result of keeping vodka in your office in Burbank.
But we’re all together!

If it’s Hell, it hasn’t quite lived up to its reputation either.
There are whole chunks of protestant theology that go into intense detail on this. The predestination of the elect, perseverance of true faith and so on. The details were wrangled over endlessly during the reformation and caused all sorts of schisms and disputes.
Yep. Good thing these folks have it all sorted out!
That’s evidence of Photoshop.
I woke up this morning having been on a plane for most of yesterday and am disappointed that I missed The Rapture.
Cause the true Christians were only taken. We are stuck with the left overs.
Come on, the show isn’t that bad. The first season showed a bit of promise.
Free will, I guess.
Gloomiest and yet most plausible explanation of hipsters I ever heard.
