    The blessed in the heavenly kingdom will see the torment of the dammed so that they may even more thoroughly enjoy their blessedness.

    -Thomas Aquinas proving that even way back in the 13th Century that Christianity love and mercy are coded hate and revenge.

    There’s a JW guy in my work, and I asked him about the second coming, how they believe Jesus will come back and will take 144000 of the JWs to rule in heaven. I asked what would happen to the millions of the rest of the JWs. He said they’d get to rule on earth.

    Wild. All that dogma for basically a bit of power.

      all that dogma for the opportunity of a bit of power, once god intervenes.

      they have to know they’re suckers.

    I support the idea that the Rapture did indeed happen, but only like 5 people on Earth were good enough Christians to be taken so no one else noticed.

        I’m so fine with all religions being sandblasted off this planet.

        What they’re still here with us? It’s all made up lies to control the uneducated ignorant masses? It’s all been a cover for pedos?

        Yeah that checks out.

    goddamn imagine the detachment from reality it takes to make this graphic. and they’re so fucking gleeful, haha we get raptured you get immense suffering, haha.

    they have the emotional intelligence level of a sadistic toddler and they’re happy to illustrate it to everyone.

    It’s a good time to be there for those buddies who totally thought they were on the invite list but here they are.

    It’s okay, dude, we’ll have our own party! With blackjack and hookers!

    I had half a mind to tell them oh yeah, it totally happened! 17 thousand missing persons in Mississippi! Another 12k in Nebraska. Check your county rapture count website to see if it’s come locally.

    They’ll have to come to terms that they’re one of us now, but they were one of us before.
