I have found this. and I don't know what it really is, but its awesomeness cannot be brought into question. It must be archived for a day when the museum of internet is going to be made.

Wow. I just read the first page. I can't tell if the question and answers are serious or not.

Also, the title of the board is priceless, as well.

That website is a parody. Mind you, it's one that tends to fool almost everybody at first, because it's impossible to tell parody from real religious crazy.

That's what I wondered. I figured someone who wasn't trolling would have the sense of mind to just look "fap" up somewhere else.

That is an interesting phenomenon, though DC. It is pretty hard to tell.

It looks very believable because it's not a one-man effort like Time Cube (probably real) or My Immortal (probably not). 455,411 posts - wow.

My warning bells went off when I saw "Christian (TM)"

Other than that, it's a good act.

Old as the internet.

It is pretty old. It's so old, it pre-existed the foundation of internet sites which you couldn't tell crazy from the sarcastic.

Yeah, my labmates and I had many good laughs at this when I was in grad school. Make sure to visit the actual website, and not just the forum (although I hadn't seen the forum before... will have to look it over). Make sure to check out their "gift shop", also.

Poe's Law is truth in action, because it's really hard to tell the difference between Landover Baptist and Rapture Ready.

Rapture Ready of course, being "4 reelz!"

I wonder why not wait for Jesus to come down to earth again, and bring his kingdom and whatnot, a little more, y'know, comfortable?

Like, if I had a choice between him coming to find me working 12 hours for minimum wage, with little or no health or pension protection, and him coming to find me with friends, playing the guitar, drinking port wine, and smoking cigars, hell, I know which one I'd pick.

Dude, the Rapturites can't even decide whether those Humatree psychos are Christian heroes being suppressed by the antichrist and his muslim conspirators, or dangerous loons here to make "true" christians look bad.

The concept that they might be dangerous loons who seriously represent exactly what Rapture Ready has been preaching since its inception does not seem to register in their tiny minds as a possibility.

Depending on your interpretation of the end-times, the arrival of Jesus means it's too late. Like, you're basically supposed to be a spiritual paratrooper ready in all moments for the End Times (hence, "Rapture Ready").

That's an entirely separate issue; why does God not follow innovations in governing? I mean, burecracy is so 19th century. Is Jesus really going to turn down quallified people just because they weren´t drafted beforehand? Why doesn't he modernize a bit, and remove needless procedures? I am certain it would contribute greatly to his effectiveness.

And why doesn't US protestant Christianity have a figure like a Pope who could rely such concerns and suggestions directly to God? Seems like internal communications need some work as well.

EDIT: Oh, right, I forgot, there's the President. Now thinking about it, God must feel pissed that his direct US liaison is a descendant of a man he cursed. Oh boy.

I tried, I failed. If someone said the 4 reelz position was reversed I'd believe it.

Why do the RR types seem to believe Jesus is a jerk who wants to kick everyone's asses? At least friendly, hippy Jesus is someone you could have a beer with.
