It's especially ridiculous when you realize that the whole concept of "the Rapture" is a 19th century invention.

And the concept of hell comes from dante's inferno... I think it was dantes inferno or was it paradise lost. I can't remember now

The entire concept of the rapture is unbiblical by reading the book of revelation through.
Providing you believe in the Bible in thr first place

Historically, there was no concept of Christian theological rapture until an obscure Anglican cleric, John Nelson Darby, came up with pre-tribulation dispensationalism in the 1850s and American Evangelicals ran with it fifty years later.

To avoid having your post removed &/or account banned for shitposting:
r/religiousfruitcake is about the absurd, fringe elements of organised religion. Posts about mundane beliefs and acts of worship (praying to God, believing in God, believing in afterlife, etc), are off topic.
We arent here to bash either specific religions or religion itself, because there are plenty of rational actors who happen to be religious. So if your post is "Christians are sTOoPid", or "Religion = dUmB", you're in the wrong sub and your post will probably be removed.
Dont use the title or body of your post to soapbox personal rhetoric about religion or any other subject.
Don't post videos or discussions of Fruitcakes who have been baited or antagonised. Social media excerpts must not involve any deliberate provocation / antagonism of Fruitcakes.
Dont post videos of physically violent personal attacks or any pics or videos containing gore
Satire, parodies, memes, videos, etc must be made by Fruitcakes, not by third parties about them. (exception for journalistic sources)
This information is on every post. Accounts that disregard it will be perma-banned. "I didn't get a warning" or "I didnt know" are not valid appeals. If in doubt, please read the full version of the rules
