Oh, shit, if the rapture actually happens, I’m going to be so fucked trying to take care of all those pets.
No you won’t. If it actually happens, only the ones that followed the word of God get to go. Not the ones that twisted it, or were rich while poor existed.
Hardly anyone will get to go.
Have you read the book?? God is a controlling psycho mass murderer. Those people will get in.
The rest of the book, with the good bits, is just to make the idiots complacent.
“I don’t like Christianity, therefore the Bible is not canon to itself.”
The Bible isn’t even self-consistent, let alone canon.
Current Bible has been rewritten a bunch of times by different people. Definitely not canon.
It’s not a millenia-long game of whisper down the lane. We have access to the original text. And we still cross-reference different translations to be sure.
Uh, aren’t the original texts that were compiled to make the bible long gone? What “original texts” are you referring to? A cursory search couldn’t find anything except Christian pages saying the original texts no longer exist.

Is this not it?
I guess you’re choosing to ignore the generations of Jews who kept the tradition and texts alive.
If by “original text” you mean “the first full version which was written over a century after the proclaimed event.”
We have like four words and one corner of papyri from Mark in the first century, not exactly a bulletproof passdown.
Doesn’t it specify something like 131,000 people?
Are you talking about Jehovah’s Witnesses? I believe the number was 144,000. Long since passed, btw, IDK how they get new converts any more.
Because a dozen dozen thousand was basically their way of saying a billion million brazilian. It was senselessly large in their eyes.
Is that the one where you get your own planet?
I believe that one is mormons.
And they don’t even provide it anymore. When’s the last time someone stole a planet from you?
Have to go**
I think you mean
I will adopt ALL the cats
… Wait, the Post-Rapture Pet Care insurance guy uses Lemmy?!
Oh no, I can’t claim to be the original. More of a copycatsitter.
I’ll help
Looks like a nice chair to me!
Not sure which is grosser: if that discolouration was caused before or after the death. I don’t think they’ll get their asking price for that, though. Assuming it isn’t just meant to troll christians into thinking they missed the rapture.
Based on the discoloration and the color of the walls I’m assuming it just belonged to an elderly smoker and that was their smoking chair.
