What if the rapture did happen but none of them were worthy?

Oh, please no. I so desperately want humanity (and the planet) to be rid of these people.

What has Islam got to do with Race? I'm just saying that getting rid of Christians won't make the earth into an atheist haven. Islam will logically take it's place as it's the second biggest religion.

The hell has this got to do with race???

take it's place as it's the

One of those "it's" isn't the same as the other.

We are used to him in the UK communities. He's a well known prat.

That's not a very nice thing to say ☹️

People of any race can be Muslim. When someone says "Christians are all crazy" do we say that they're racist towards white people just because the majority of Christians are white?

So then why is it that when someone implies that Muslims are all crazy we assume that that is racism at work?

And it's not exactly a random thing to bring up. Rapture is supposedly going to apply to Christians so even if it did happen, theoretically the Muslims would be left behind, and so in the context of the comic posted that says all the religious wackos are gone, he's pointing out that they wouldn't all be gone.

I'm lost on what is racist about this. Could you please explain?

Hang on lads, I've got an idea.

Wow, covid was an extremely shitty rapture.

[–] smeenz 6 points 10 months ago

Even with god's chosen president doing everything he could to get more people up to heaven...

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

Or what if the rapture happened and the only creature deemed to fit the criteria was a single highly surprised but very chill about it capybara?
