Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Before I got to debate creationists on the internet, I never heard of this "Rapture". I wonder what the Vatican and all the other state or semi-state Christian churches in Europe think of it.

As per command, they will remain silent. We're told Plan B is still in development.

that's because the idea has never taken off (sic) in yurp. not enough wide open spaces here... the air traffic couldn't stand it, besides we already have our central bank acting as chief raptor, while we watch and applaud their cosmic rapt in ecstasy.

americans do rap better than us too, though this is correlation, not causation.

variants of wrapture also include heavenly salads in tortillas, a practice observed in s.and c. america which is presently finding greater favor in el norte.

euphoric eaters report states of vagus bliss, transported by manna-like texture and ambrosial flavour to empyrian heights of sensuous delight.

the adorable notion of all godde's favourites being transubstantiated into divine vapour has found enthused acolytes agog with the pleasure of checking out of this vale of tears, with vertical take-off an attractive option while driving. (magog will entail a small surcharge, payable in easy rates, for a custom turbo jetpack/parachute).

convertibles are recommended, indeed mandatory for some of our more comfortably well-padded apostles of apocalypse, (supersized with devotion,) as sunrooves have been judged insufficiently wide to accommodate frictionless exit for these giants of spiritual girth, festooned as they are with jellylike spare tyres of unfettered cellu-heavy blessings and accumulated massy merit.

see ya @ saint pete's bar and grill! where the livin' is soft'n'squeasy, and everyone is happy happy happy all the rest of time.

coz nothing says god loves you best than abandoning the rest of the yuman race to its merry hell, and hying forth to never-never land early, so to get the front row seats for watching the torments of the sinners left in their deranged debauchery... :)

The Commission is appreciative of all public comment, and is especially receptive to dissertations on wraps, because while we're waiting, we get hungry. Not hungry enough to call it wrapture.

We also find references to the archaic (not that that matters anymore) Incredible String Band forbidden, if not innocuous. (Happy, Happy, und noch mal, Happy, all the rest of the time. leading of course to "Dust be water, something something, Happy Hapyy all the time time time.)

Despite our former presence as Serious, we request in the interest of accuracy, that you do not debauch debauchery, which the Commission has found to be pushed into a corner.

hmm, i see a fast food franchise in these lizard entrails the cat drug in.
its name, according to these gutsy prophecies, and corroborated by chrism-rich cardinals in high places, will be 'wrapture', (the feast for those left behind).

i thinks a lot of these folks begging for redemption-through-non-being are more likely to be heading for a Rupture, (as in Hernia, sorry no link...

Had a friend in the 80's who was firmly of the opinion that the rapture was the working part of Ronnies star wars defence system, when armageddon occurred, and the two sides fired  all of their missiles at each other, then the ones heading for the USA would impact rapturing fanatics as their paths crossed, saving america.
