Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but what is meant by the rapture is that upon learning the un-cloaked history of Christianity a given number of obsessed fanatical believers will commit suicide. The way you are going you could be one of them. Get out while you can, you're at the right place to get help. Oh, and GWB doesn't have enough real faith (ie obsession) to off himself when the truth comes out, so you can remove him from your rapture list.

Have you ever spent time with the good ol' GWB? He's a member of my family - my partner's uncle is his chief speechwriter and both sides spend lots of time together. Christmas Eve last year was spent watching the Bush's home videos <puke>.

I can hardly say that he has the Holy Spirit dwelling in him - he would fire my uncle's ass in a New York minute if he found out there was an accept homosexual couple in the family (we have strict rules as to what Jekyll and I can and cannot do...let's just say that we're not going to follow them when we attend the next graduation he's speaking at in June). He has expressed displeasure towards a NUMBER of minority groups - including Koreans (and I am a Korean - it's quite obvious ) . He consistantly puts down his wife (in a "Christian" manner, though, I'm sure - she cna't even order in a restaurant by herself) and believes that HE is the centre of everyone's universe. Couple that with the fact he loves the Oak Ridge Boys AND kissed my partner's grandmother (EEW!) and you've got one scary person.

Okay - let's break this down logically.

A three-score is sixty - this is established.

Therefore, six-hundred threescores is 36,000 (600 x 60). Add six, and you've got 36,006.

Apparently someone didn't listen during algebra class .

? It looks to me like the person on the right is just rubbing their ass into the back of the middle person's head. Doesn't really sound fun, maybe that's the evil part.

Sorry, I was unable to read the joke about a sex position without imagining the sex taking place. Must be my Y chromasome.

Doesn't matter what the book of Revelation states. The Christian writer was just one of many Christians who have been wrong in predicting the return of Jesus. Check out these verses...

1.1: "The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place;"

1.3: "Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and who keep what is written in it; for the time is near.”

1.7: “Look! He is coming with the clouds; every eye will see him, even those who pierced him;…”

2.25: “only hold fast to what you have until I come.”

3.10: “Because you have kept my word of patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.”

3.11: “I am coming soon; hold fast to what you have, so that no one may seize your crown.”

Ok Christians, now tell me how I've taken everything out of context

Kosh

Revelation is dated to what, 81 to 96 CE (Peter
Kirby's site). Surely "those who pierced him"
must have already been dead....
