    “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” So, if someone claims to know the day, well, that’s one day where it definitely will not happen!

      We just need someone to declare every day that the rapture will happen. Then it won’t happen during their lifetime. After the person dies, appoint someone else as rapture declarer. Voila, no more rapture.

        A good application for AI. No need to worry about missed days or unexpected ends to lifetime.

            Any that’s capable of responding to the prompt “predict that the rapture will happen on <tomorrow’s date>.”

              You could just reuse the same canned response and put tomorrow’s date in there. It’s not like these rapture predictions are new / interesting anyway

                god requires the entity proclaiming the prediction to be capable of fucking up and saying something else, we need to task some theological researchers with figuring out precisely how capable of mistakes it must be

      The arrogant shits think they can force God’s hand. If there was a God, he’d blast them with a bolt of lightning, or at least some kind of plague.
