Suzerain of Sheol
Desolation Denizen

4 Thessolonians 17:
..and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air
The Rapture concept is one of the most ridiculous, self-aggrandizing religious ideas I've ever encountered. Even ignoring the fact that the entire premise is based wholly on the extremely vague quote above, and is an invention less than 300 years old, it's nothing but an extension of the exclusionist propaganda that has been used to propagate injustice since the earliest days of our species. The entire idea that we're all made in the likeness of God, but some are arbitrarily more worthy than others (look, we have it written down right here!) is nothing short of reprehensible.
And if there are any Rapture-believers here that I've offended, surely you have more pious pursuits to be attending, as the long-awaited hour draws nigh.
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
