Rapture Ready loons sound off on Live Earth
Apparently, banding together to do something to save God's creation is going against God's will. Or something.

7. Not sure
but if we do have freedom of religion in this country, why not? Can't wait til they ask a Wiccan to offer a prayer.

30. Apparently a Hindu cleric (whatever the proper term is)
Apparently a Hindu cleric (whatever the proper term is) is giving the invocation in Congress one day. I guess these loons feel the need to cancel out that prayer with an extra-special one of their own.

Jeez. Earth people!

For those of you who do not know what it is, it is 9 locations on the earth with big name bands in all genre of music playing what is considered one whole 24 hour concert to raise awareness and consciousness about Global Whining, oops, *Warming* (my bad). My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, the Plain of Shinar is being inaguarated tomorrow...

We need to stand firm as believers in Jesus Christ and His sure judgments coming soon, and as watchers of His Return here on this board, we need to quietly, lovingly and patiently let our Dear Saviour know that we do not partake in this world's rebellion and that we declare His righteousness and judgments are what we have bowed the knee to in this generation. Selah...

in Christ....

Srry, but I am more concerned about the hindu prayer situation.

Weather the cause of this so called "weather change" is us, or a natural cycle of our planet, whats wrong with trying to deal with the effects?

srry, I do not think its worth a prayer effort against it.

I know Gore is making some money of the attempt, but...to pray against it?

I think there are other things that desreve more of our attention right now brother.

3) it is is rebellion to try and prevent the world from flooding when God directly promised He would never flood the earth again.

It is what Peter was talking about when he referred to men in the Last Days being willfully ignorant of the flood that once was, and thereby scoffing at the promise of God's judgment with fire and righteous indignation upon an ungodly world. Global Warming is the New Tower of Babel, the cry of man striving to be as one voice and unite against the Creator who has once and for all declared the Truth about salvation and where this world is headed. If you see it any other way, then I cannot really help you change your mind...only the Lord can reveal it to you....

Guy4God:

You are 100% correct. It's amazing the number of Christians who believe all of the global warming hype.

I feel that everyone should do their share of recycling and conserving. But this whole global warming issue is completely bonkers.

The biggest supporters are the elite and Hollywood, who are the biggest abusers of energy consumption. If this isn't hypocrisy, then tell me what is.

Anything and everything that Hollywood is for, I have to question. They are not my leader and they do not speak for me. I shun Hollywood as much as possible. The only global warming they should be worried about is:

1) a dirty bomb going off in Los Angeles
2) spending eternity in Hell if they do not accept Christ as they savior.

8. It really pisses me off that we can't get anything good done today because these fuckers are stupid
They have to have their way, everyone else be damned. Meanwhile we all have to suffer the consequences of them being assholes.

34. It's really funny that they can't comprehend that,
if they are right and it is all a god's doing, then efforts to turn it around won't work so there's nothing to stop them from actually changing off their lightbulbs, taking public transportation, walking, doing their best to offset their carbon usage.

In fact, it would be a point in their favor if they were doing all these things, encouraging people to do all these things, reducing the carbon load and the rate of warming STILL continued at its present rate.

But their faith is so shaky that they don't dare put their money (so to speak) where their mouths are.

32. And how Christian to want a city to suffer a nuke.
And if it happens, it will be extremely interesting to see if it happens to a "red" or "blue" city.

28. well, by extension, isn't this concert Gawd's will?
How could mere mortals like Al Gore stage this event contrary to the will of Gawd?

These all-powerful deities are so delicate, insecure, and impotent...

liked this smilie though... All it needs is drops of flying spittle.

35. It makes no sense to me how they can say that
and then apply it only to selected events without batting an eye.

Lord knows, my brain doesn't work well sometimes, but I can still tell the difference.

10. Frightening - they're so easily manipulated by the Republican party
Whatever they believe about 'the rapture', there should be no reason to connect that with climate change. But they all seem to think it's a scam, because they've been told so by the fundy preachers. And they've just done that because it's the payment for the Republican party inviting them to the White House, giving them faith-based initiative money, and so on. Now the oil interests in the Repubs need some support, they get the brainwashed fundies to repeat whatever their told.

15. Best bit of lunatic paranoia:
"Have you guys heard that he (Gore) appeared at the concerts as a hologram in order to speak to the audience?

Kind of reminded me of the image of the beast."

17. What the FUCK??
"it is is rebellion to try and prevent the world from flooding when God directly promised He would never flood the earth again....."

So because GOD said HE wouldn't flood the earth, that means no floods will happen???

Ever heard of NEW ORLEANS, you Dominionist Dipshits???

22. Huh...
Doesn't it say in Genesis that we are to have dominion over the world and animals? I'd say that means that we are to be grateful for the gift and to take care of it.

I don't get this "rebellion" bit. Sure this isn't a joke, and if not, where in the literature is it defined?

You can't stand in the highway and call it rebellion against God if you make an effort to move out of the way of oncoming traffic.

Reading that site for awhile I was tempted to sign up and post some tongue-in-cheek ridicule posing as a Rapturist. Then I realized that their "thinking" is so foreign to me I could never possibly pull it off.

38. They should all walk down a main street in Baghdad, bible in hand, trying to convert the "heathen".
That would "rapture" their arses.
