144,000 will be taken.

Not very good odds if you ask me



Isn't that the Jehovah's Witnesses belief?



It used to be, they kinda stopped mentioning that one. Now it's more like 144k get into some special heaven while the rest get into normal heaven.

I just wanted to point out that no where in the bible does it mention this rapture. It is only a theory that some 12 year old girl came up with in the 1800's, and now churches teach it...

I thought the whole point of their group was that they didn't figure they'd get into the 144k, so they think god will remake earth into a better place for the rest of them?

I mean, they're always asking me what I think will happen after the rapture to those left behind. and then hand me their magazine thingy with lions on the cover and a beautiful green paradise in the distance.

Go to youtube and watch some clips from the "atheist experience"

You'll see how truly backwards the logic is that most religious people have.

Personally I'm agnostic and would rip a atheist a new one. Hell, Richard dawkins is agnostic now. Gee, I wonder why. Probably because the only reason to be "atheist" is to rub it in the face of the religious. No one can truly know one way or the other, and that is truly the point.

This is why religion is so amusing, believers can't even keep up with what they profess to believe in.
