Remember those Heaven's Gate people, all they did was decide they didn't want to wait for the end. They hopped aboard the spaceship. We all agree they were nuts... How far are these Rapture Ready types from doing this? Shouldn't this be treated as an illness and not just a casual belief?

(25,816 posts)The guys cut their nuts off. They thought the Mother Ship was in the trail of the comet. The next week, SNL did a spot about them,

(16,120 posts)by my fundie brother and Wisconsin Synod Lutheran in-laws that I will most definitely not be among the raptured, so I must keep plugging along.
On the other hand, there might be some good stuff up for grabs when they all go!
And, all the really obnoxious people will be gone, given those I know who believe they will ascend into the sky!
