So this past weekend was supposed to the made up end time philosophical jerk off known as the Rapture. As a construct, the Rapture has no basis in actual christian theology, it is like most modern day christian beliefs, complete bullshit sold by a con man to idiots looking to buy anything to jam into their little minds to make them feel better about this scary pointless world and their own utterly futile existence. So what's new, a lot of people believed that this past Saturday they were going to be assumed up into heaven leaving behind all of their earthly possessions and troubles to meet the big guy. Ok, that's an interesting little thing to believe in, which is fine. If you believed the story than no big deal, you thought you were gonna meet your maker but you didn't, no harm, no foul. The problem, and this is where the lack of any discernible ability to reason comes into play when you're talking about these sad christian people is this; many of these people gave up all of their money to their church with the belief that the rapture was coming. Now if the rapture was actually going to happen, than why would your church still need your money? Now this thought seemed to elude most of the adherents to this idiotic belief. Not only were they dumb enough to believe in the rapture but they were stupid enough to bet on it, but the bet made no sense being that they were laying down their bet to a house that theoretically wasn't going to be there in a couple of days.Once you start going down that rabbit hole of thought there is no coming out. Anyone that isn't a complete idiot gets stupified making the mistake of giving these people any sort of logical thinking patterns. Faith is a kooky thing. Faith in God in particular is interesting. Can you have 50% faith or is it by it's definition, automatically understood that having faith means 100% all the way go for broke, blind faith. And if you can cut off the doubtful voices in your head, is blind faith some sort of gift or is it the complete opposite? Is having 100% faith the epitome of mental abdication? It was easy to have faith as a child because I just believed what i was told, I couldn't think critically, I had no doubts, my mind was in the off position. But I grew up and once I could think, on my own, could I really just go along with all the other dumb asses that seemed to question nothing? I used to wave the flag like a moron unquestioningly believing that the USA was the greatest thing ever invented by God or man, then I grew up and saw all of it's flaws and ugliness but, even with the blemishes I could still rationally say that America is definitely a pretty great fucking place. I still mock the flag wavers because I don't think they have ever doubted or questioned anything about their country, now it's no wonder that the people that wave the flag like children are the same people who have this unwavering belief that God exists. That must be a nice, Santa Claus world to live in. You're country is perfect and there's a nice magic man that watches us and gives us guardian angels to be buddies with and all that nice stuff and maybe they're right, maybe there's an all knowing, caring being in the sky that created us but I cannot be sure. Sue me I can't just dive into that faith pool head first. I cannot quantify God rationally and as far as I can tell, it hasn't made itself obviously known to me, so I cannot base my actions or decisions on the writings of a 4000 year old book or on a church teaching or on some group think and I will not join hands with people that can read the new testament and think Jesus would want them to let others starve or go sick or be mistreated while grasping a gun and screaming for tax breaks. Those people are not Christians, If those people are Christians then I hate Christians and I'm pretty sure if God does exist he would hate them too. If there was a rapture all of the real nice people in the world would go, maybe even some real Christians but I think most of the phony Christians this country shits out like a never ending, stinking, diarrhea wave of stupidity would find themselves stuffing their fat faces, watching Fox news and wondering what the fuck happened? Obviously I am not a good christian, I cast the first stone, I don't turn the cheek and I judge others. I might not have faith in God but I have faith that I'm right about these stupid assholes.
