ORIGINAL: LovingNcruelMs I laughed when I read about the "Rapture Parties" going on on Saturday...good idea wish I had thought of it. However to all the atheist and doubters that God exsists I say. do you really believe u know more then tens of billions of believers over the last 5000+ years??? Do you really believe 3/4 of the entire human race in the past 5 millenia were duped by a power that doesn't exsist??? Were you disappointed by God in some way in the past? did he fail to save your loved one from harm or death? it happens. life is hard and sometimes what WE believe is the worst thing that can happen isn't. you're in the middle of the journey and you will not be privy to why for a long time! Acccept it, that's life. GOD or not you will have tough times and how and if, you recover is part of the journey. having faith makes recovering easier. gives you a well of hope from which to draw, and when all else has failed comforts your soul in a way nothing else can. maybe you're mad because you feel abandoned...guess what not only did he not abandon you, but he keeps a daily eye on you and helps you in the ways you'll let him when you most need it. And whenever you least expect it he sends you what you most long for ....Peace, Serenity, love. did you know that the power of prayer is a measurable force. study after study has concluded that when people of faith gather, and in unison ask God for some one to be healed, if it isn't their time, they will not only heal but will heal 50% faster than someone who was not prayed for. I know this won't change your angry, broken, frustrated, faithless veiws but I hope it will at least make u experiment. after all what have u got to lose, pray the next time you are in need. it can only help and will definately not hurt. and no to those who wonder if it isn't being hypocritical, just like the father of the prodigal son rejoiced at his son's return to his home, so too will God rejoice your baby step in his direction. PS: the reason why I wish I'd had a rapture party is that the fools who came up with the theory for the Rapture on May 21 used a formula that is so insane anyone who read the info knows these people are QUACKS! Ohhhhhhhh pull the cob outta your ass will ya! Relax, have some fun. As for praying. Fuckall, I did that for 20some years and you know what it got me..NADA! That's when I figured out it wasn't up to some mystical GOD in the sky, it was up to ME to fix my shit. I quit praying and start working on my shit. Miracle of all miracles, problems solved. I haven't prayed in 20some years and I am going to stick with a winning plan. Go prepare for your rapture.
