That’s hilarious, I never thought how it looks. I used to do it every day during the summer, coming back from work in Wuhan. I’d just pass the door, drop it all and run into the shower. Had to stop when the mother in law came to live with us, haha!
Sometimes I think we would be more comfortable nakey.
We absolutely are. One nice thing about France is nobody really thinks it’s weird being naked at home, haha! I’m glad my kids still feel comfy enough in their bodies to walk around commando, it’ll change soon enough. But at least they aren’t already traumatised by a prudish family like I was.
My partner does the same thing. Just gets home and casually undresses while walking through the house.
Meanwhile I don’t even like having bare arms unless it’s really hot out.
My fiance’s even worse, her shit ends up all over the place.
Are you sure she’s not a chimpanzee?
Not literal shit lol
That’s crazy. She does this at my house, too.
I also choose this guy’s dead wife
Honestly when I step into my apartment and it’s hot af I just start stopping soon as the doors closed
I stop so early I don’t even start
That is hilarious!
Do people leave their clothes behind when raptured? Would it be a bunch of naked people ascending into the sky?
God Awful Movies has done a bunch of rapture movies. Most of them do the clothes in place thing, so that there’s something to find for those “left behind.” Sometimes they’re mysteriously folded.
Sometimes their mysteriously folded.
That shit always cracked me up
How else will they be able to sell overpriced angel togas?
Why do you think members of an otherwise prudish religion keep telling you it’s going to happen soon? It’s projection! They really can’t wait until naked people zipping up into the sky.
Not gonna lie, I kinda want to see that too.
Well, yeah. As soon as we see it, we can begin the Apocalypse Orgy.
I’m just hoping for a democratic socialist agenda to finally be viable. Seems like a rapture of the religious nutters would be the easiest answer.
Do you have any idea what the average naked person looks like?
Ain’t about that. Just wanna see those particular assholes float away.
it’s more than just the asshole that’s floating away
For those types, the asshole has taken over and is all that remains.
I’d expect everyone is robed in heavenly garments, to save the embarrassment from having been raptured with your pants down.
Surely god will just bestow upon you a dong as unto a donkey and abs ripped like the parting of the red sea.
I sure hope not. I don’t want to have to deal with new plumbing at my age, the factory-issued set gives me enough problems
I agree, I mean can you imagine being downgraded to a donkey’s size? 😔
Yes but you leave sinful things like your genetals behind too so there’s really nothing to cover anymore anyway
All blodied up? Or still useful? I’ll pick some up, see what the dock can stick on me.
It’s a matter still at the heart of scholarly debate but I’m more in the camp of if you’re fast enough you probably could attach a bloodied genital or two

Most Christians believe that only devout Christians will be raptured, therefore clearly excluding people of other faiths.
Most Christians don’t even believe in that kind of rapture as it’s based on a very problematic pseudo-theology.
Most Christians aren’t very Christian at all.
Most American Protestants do believe in it.
Roughly 40% of Americans believe we are currently living in the End Times, ie, the Rapture could happen at any moment.
https://baptistnews.com/article/4-in-10-americans-believe-we-are-living-in-the-end-times/
You may also note the Baptist author of this article is suprised these numbers are not higher.
The premise of ‘end times’ of that question couldnt really have been that the rapture is imminent, seeing as 9% of atheists believe we’re in the end times in your graph.
Yep, the asked question was vague.
I can however guarnatee you that every single Evangelical American Christian that answered ‘yes’ believes in an apocalyptic end times scenario, as well as many most who answered ‘no’.
They still believe in some form of the theology of it, they just don’t think it is currently happening.
Source on these claims is me, grew up in an Evangelical household, largely Evangelical community, I’ve since deconverted… had to go no contact with my family over this and other insane things they do/believe.
Anyway, yes I am curious as to what those 9% of atheists and the agnostics mean by that… but it could be… climate change is gonna kill most or all of us, a nuclear war is probably gonna happen, hell maybe the Zeta Reticulans are currently massing their invasion fleet on the dark side of the moon.
???
As an atheist/agnostic, I believe the 9% are indeed people who think end-timers will kill us all in a man-made catastrophe while screaming the fire they set themselves is proof of god’s final judges.
I would count myself in that group.
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve personally heard Evangelicals justify … lack of healthcare, lack of addressing climate change, outright militarism…
…all comes back to their archaic worldview.
Sometimes they’ll directly quote scripture in their justification.
The latest meme going around the Evangelical tele/video/live stream preachers is literally ‘empathy is a sin’.
They’re all backwards, and I do find it amusing that ‘many would be fooled, and worship the Beast’ is kind of actually happening, at least allegorically.
They are damnable hyprocrites by their own logic, and they’d rather burn down the world than admit they might be wrong about something.
It definitely feels like human civilization as we know it is nearing its end, be it from climate change or ww3, so probably that.
Yeah, turns out the SMOC, the Antarctic version of the AMOC… altogether, the global system of how heat, nutrients, salt, carbon how they all flow through the world’s oceans?
Yeah, the SMOC collapsed a decade ago.
We didn’t notice till literally a few days ago.
Climate is doomed, we can’t fix the oceans.
We already blew through the 1.5C target a couple years ago now.
Media just doesn’t talk about it anymore.
Worse climate = increased international tensions, everything is harder for everyone, migration becomes necessary for survival from really badly hit places, but no one will want to let them all in.
In a decade, 1/3 of the US will be uninsurable, no home insurance, too many disasters.
Trump’s insane policies are going to cause a famine if he doesn’t reverse course on ICE raids, and cuts to medicare, food stamps, section 8, will kill millions.
Good luck
Is “historically black” like Michael Jackson?
Oh jesus christ…
sigh
No.
No, it means that that particular denomination, that particular church or family of churches has had a historically super majority black membership.
Congregations like this are very common in the US south.
As a result of slavery and racism leading to blacks being forced out of many white congregations, black christians started their own churches.
Like uh, less Michael Jackson, more Martin Luther King Jr.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Christian_Leadership_Conference
Throw in about 125 years of majority black churches prior to the SCLC’s founding in the 1950s, and yeah, there is a whole history of churches with their roots in being formed as places of worship that wouldn’t threaten to lynch an attendee for being the ‘wrong’ skin color.
Its the roughly the same thing with a ‘historically black’ college or university: many of those were founded because other colleges were historically racist, would not allow black americans to attend, so they made their own colleges.
Same “Christians” that worship a child rapist.
‘God Emperor Trump’ was a joke untill it wasn’t.
Tends to be how the worldview of fascists evolve:
I’m just joking bro!
(They were in fact, not joking)
I would still hate him even if he were a worm
Yet, they love to talk about Muhammad’s child bride (not condoning here). It is very important to condemn some guy who died 1500 years ago, but not the human skidmark walking among us.
Its even more ludicrous than that.
Not only are there a significant amount of American Christians who… believe that Trump is a / one of the AntiChrists / Beasts from Revelation…
I have actually met some who believe that, and still vote for him.
Much of American Christianity is a literal apocalyptic death cult.
Many Christian Zionists are actively antisemitic, yet at the same time, vehemently support Israel… because they believe in some rough variation of the plot line from the ‘Left Behind’ books/movies.
Israel has to be wiped out or under serious threat of that for their preferred version of the apocalypse to take place, and they cynically support everything that makes that more likely to occur… so that Jesus can come back.
Honestly, that’s one of the more sensible beliefs they have.
I wonder if I’m living in the end times, and I’m not even religious.
How do you define ‘the end times’?
Also, it is worth noting that the last time I had an interaction with you on lemmy, it was you justifying the US bombing Iran’s nuclear sites.
https://sh.itjust.works/comment/19286517
And then me explaining to you how utterly uninformed your stance on that is.
So anyway… you are an … irreligious Zionist who also believes in ‘the end times’?
???
You seem to be actively advocating for ratcheting up international tensions, advocating for actions that make nuclear proliferation and thus a potential nuclear exhange between countries / nuclear terrorism… more likely.
You do love the bomb, after all.
Maybe you could try not having a ‘secular’, self-fulfilling, accelerationist style apocalyptic worldview?
Do you think Iran having nukes would make a nuclear exchange more or less likely?
More likely.
But there is more than one way to prevent nuclear proliferation.
You can just bomb the shit out of them, as an ally of their already nuclear armed neighbor and adversary, which only encourages them to keep trying to make nukes to be able to do a MAD standoff…
Or you could negoiate with them, maybe make some kind of mutual agreement whereby if they abide by it, only pursue far less enriched nuclesr materials for power generation, allow in IAEA inspectors regularly, and they get some sanctions removed from them.
You know, like that thing Obama did, that Trump then later reneged on, entirely predictably creating the situation we are now in.
We could always stop supporting the racist, rogue, nuclear armed, apartheid ethnonationalist state currently conducting a genocide.
That might help to ease tensions as well.
Then we could maybe even do another deal with Iran!
Our at the very least, stop assasinating all Iran’s negotiators, giving Israel the intel to carry out assasinations that are too ‘icky’ for us to do ourselves (officially).
… but I already covered all this in my reply to you a month ago, I guess you just don’t ingest or process information that you don’t like?
…
Anyway, could you please describe your apparently irreligious end times belief?
I am genuinely curious as to how that … works, or makes sense.
What is ‘the end times’ to you, what does that mean?
Yeah that’s a good point. I probably should have said evangelicals, and noted that even then it’s a fairly fringe belief.
woosh
Oh man, if you hadn’t added “(it isn’t)” i might’ve talen your comment as seriously as you took the meme.
wow, you must be a joy at parties
