Posted by ralph on March 28, 2010

Prank 3:16 is a version of Punk’d where an unsuspecting believer is tricked into thinking that The Rapture has occurred:

    I just said 2 things in one place because I didn't want to write an essay in my lunch break, I don't understand where you get the idea that I'm ignorant about genetics and evolution from a short paragraph I can only assume I upset you and you felt the need to insult me I have read into evolution more than I have genetics admittedly. hitler was not a good Catholic have you heard of the encyclical on March 14, 1937 which the pope published. Have you heard of Edith Stein (teresa benidicta of the cross) executed in auschwitz she was beatified and canonised by Pope John Paul, or Father Maximilian Kolbe? The Nazi's tried to undermine the Church this does not seem like a good Catholic boy to me.
    You don't do your argument any favours by just calling someone stupid for pointing out inconsistencies in what you are saying.
    I'm not a Catholic by the way, I think I'd better state that before you infer anything else about me from a short passage on a forum. Strange really you can interpret my words to mean I'm stupid but you can't read the Bible for what it is hehe!

    I never mentioned Darwin I said evolution. The way evolution was interpreted in Germany helped him that has got nothing to do with Darwin, there were other scientists you know.

    There's an old jewish saying, I don't believe in that God that you don't believe in either. Atheists never seem to be able to understand faith and belief from a religious point of view, The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins is just vitriloic hatred which never acknowledges a real Christian idea of God and just rants about some baby killing psychopath, it's a shame because his latest book The Greatest Show on Earth about evolution is quite beautiful in some parts. Religion has been responsible for massive atrocities but that's probably because it's been around for so long I'm sure if history had been different, and the Greeks had flourished into a fully fledged scientific society rather than turning to religion, people wouldn't and everybody would be saying science has had a chequered past.
    What is so bad about something that brings joy to people everyday and inspires people to do good deeds and love their fellow man as a brother? There's supposed to be around 2.1 billion people who are Christians even if half of those are lapsed that still means that God brings hope to over a billion people everyday they feel his love encompassing them every second of the day, when they screw up he understands and forgives them. He brings people from all over the world of different cultures, races, denominations together through the love of his son. As Christ said In my Fathers house are many mansions. He also said “And If thy right hand offend thee cut it off” what a terrible man! Solomon said “How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?” also in his song”Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins. Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.”
    There is so much beauty in the bible to just reduce it to a tool of oppression and hatred is to do it a vast injustice and does nothing but make Atheists look like ignorant bigots, I'm sorry but there I said it!

    First of all: catholics like myself, don't believe in the rapture. Secondly: I'm sick and tired of this 'religion is the cause of all wars' crap which seems to be very popular with atheists who never picked up a history book, or never left their basement. There's indeed a problem with the statement above: it's jabberwock. Consider all the violent secular revolutions from the 18th and 19th centuries, and consider the violent twentieth century as a whole, and you'll find that secular regimes caused more death and agony in the last 100 years than religious regimes did since the dawn of time. Even now wars are being waged in Iraq and Afghanistan for 'liberal democracy' – for the secularization of the islamic world. Now, I won't say that 'atheism' is the cause of all wars, in fact, wars have everything to do with geopolitics, as is the case between Jews and Arabs – religion there merely provides the tribal lines of division, but it's not a war over religious truth – … however, these factoids do render the 'blame it all on religion' conclusion invalid.

    I like reading articles on this website nonetheless, even though they're always from a very progressive and atheist point of view which I don't share – but that's cool.

    Funny that's not what God 2.0 tried to tell me about wars of the 20th century here, he claimed Hitler was a good Catholic, I don't believe him. I agree with you apart from being Catholic myself, the past few centuries have been the most violent, I don't understand why science and religion have become so polarized it's not as if the early Christians such as St Augustine believed in the literal interpretation of the creation story. He believed everything was created in an instant and the days were just a way of expressing a passage of time incomprehensible to man, or about 10,000 years he said. He believed some things were created whole and others where their potential was within them, that could almost be taken as an early grasp at the evolutionary theory.

    It's a complete joke how these atheists lump all Christians together as mindless buffoons that would believe the sky was green if the right reverend pastor sauce so and so said so. I don't think atheists are anymore liberal than anyone else. At the end of the day there's good and bad people everywhere, at least that's what Jesus tells me.

    That was pretty funny. Christians did that? Wow, that's the kind of thing I'd expect from Satanists or Discordians, but not Christians….eh, it must be the end times.

    These rapture robots are scary. Preterism is the way to view the end times, not dispensationalism. No Rapture . No future second coming of Christ. No end of planet Earth.

    Eccl. 1:4 ” Generations come and generations go , but the earth remains forever.”

    John 17:15 Jesus prayed , ” I pray that you not take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.”

    Rev.21:3 ” Now the kingdom of God is with men.
