1. Can't you just shorten that?

"The rapture is not valid."

4. Yes!

The "rapture" is entirely invalid. It's not scriptural at all.

I wish the assholes would figure that out.

9. John Nelson Darby, "father of premillennial dispensationalism"

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/apocalypse/explanation/amprophesy.html

He took William Miller's notions of "biblical prophecy" in Revelation to a new extreme.

10. Oh, that asshole.

All these assholes should be put in prison (and I say that knowing that most of them are dead now... but Tim Lehaye isn't!).

pre-millenial, post-millenial, amillenial - it's all false reading of Scripture.

11. Yup.... and they're HQ now is at Dallas Theological Seminary.

All these whack-jobs come from the same heretical thought. How convenient that they ignore Mark 13 (no one knows the time, the day, the hour, not even the Son...) :shrug:

12. And yet, they'll scream at you for "prooftexting"

and "eisegesis" (assuming they even know that word) and then, in the same breath, offer that obscure verse in Leviticus as absolute, proof-positive text that God hates fags.

13. Don't forget women preachers.

My whole denomination is going to hell for that one. Hell, I've had 3 women bishops already!

14. Fucking Methodists.

So behind the times - I'm UCC, we're going to hell for having HOMOSEXUAL ministers!

You Methodists are so 19th century, with your "going to hell for women ministers" meme. We ordained a woman in 1842!

Come on, Methodists, at least try to keep up!

16. *hangs head in shame*

We like to think we're so open. "Open hearts, open minds, open doors" is the ad campaign - but they forgot to add "unless you're gay."

As one of my former members told me "the methodists tell me that they'll baptize me and bury me, but they won't marry me. Funny how they still think my money is OK." (I added, "they won't ordain you, either.")

:banghead:

17. Nicely said!

Sorry to rub it in... I'm pretty proud of my UCC heritage...

But yes, the ol' "But your money's okay!" canard.

What an insult.

15. Only people wielding giant spoons

and crappy posterboard testimonials incorporating stuffed lambs will be saved, when the rapture comes. Get busy folks!

18. So, that woman has mastered the art of "emotional"

Perhaps in the next decade she can be bothered to try to work on the art of "actually knowing what the fuck she's so fakely emotional about".

19. Yep. She's Craptacular.

She's what fundie drama queen pre-teens grow up to be, I suppose. They start early-- I imagine she was the baby Jesus in some sort of live-action nativity on a church lawn, about 50 years ago.
