I am out of the loop. How did today become rapture day? I am having family members being silly about this. How did this even start?

I just hope none of these people are stupid enoigh to commit mass suicide with their families... I've seen some tik toks of Karens talking about how they did not send their kids to school today... I really hope none of them harms their kids.

If they actually believe that bullshit, chances are pretty good they're already harming their kids psychologically at the very least.

Why bother? Need money to get to Heaven?

[–] Xaphanos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Some are just giving it away. The rest... Well, they're not smart.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago

No many aren't smart. It can also be MH or the effect of cult brainwashing though

That one guy sold his car, saying he wouldn't need it in heaven.

Like, OK, this is crazy, but they often have a certain internal logic going. I don't get this one. You don't need the car (presumably), but you don't need the money, either. Why bother?
