Rapture, Denied (Premium E306)
Christian Tik Tok prepares for the end times after a man in South Africa gives the exact date for the rapture (which has come and gone). That’s right, if you’re listening to this podcast… you are in hell. I’m sorry, boy.

Jake, if it helps you to imagine: Travis the Father sets the tone and the tempo, his will governs all. Julian the Son expresses the humanity of the Father. Where the Father may appear poised, removed, the Son is here to guffaw and maybe sometimes scream about how the merchants and moneylenders in the temple ought to be ********. But a day comes when the Son leaves us. That is where he gives us his Spirit, Liv, who teaches us exactly how the Son would be and speaks his words in his absence. Though we await the second coming of Julian, we have Liv to be with us so we aren’t alone 🙏👼🏼
I felt the same joy at Jake’s mention of tarantulas that I imagine Jake feels at the mention of Ghostbusters
I like how the episode came out after the predicted date, just so qaa could make sure it was definitely a false rapture prediction
This is the only episode where I feel like Jake is like REALLY high
The chabad people who I listen to sometimes when I need a little bit of silly religion in a good mood - they say that Jewish people are only chosen as the keepers of the earth to create earth in heaven so that the one and only G-d (Adonai echad - not x 3 from your bad sequel book) can come chill here forever and that all our loved ones will come too. That’s why really religious Jews are also like climate change is real because this is the place that is supposed to be heaven. Not saying it’s right, just saying this woman crying is basically how Christianity is supposed to make you feel. I feel fine. End of the world - not a thing I worry about. Sinning? You made that up. Christianity is stressful. I guess it’s to make up for their parenting not instilling enough angst. They try to shove it all in after you can read. No man. The guilt to love your parents and be a lawyer or a doctor or have a graduate degree and behave and not be disappointing or embarrassing needs to be made clear IN THE WOMB. That is your soul. Who do you think gave you your soul? That’s who you should be grateful to. lol.
Initially I was worried Jake wouldn't be able to work multiple Ghostbusters references into this topic. I should have had more faith.
Was there anything about rapture overlaping with Rosh Hashanah?
"I'm always preparing for the rapture. I love getting owned. I get owned every day. I'm getting owned by God all the time this time isn't special."
Right wing Christian zealots are about as sensitive as an untouched clitoris.
Jake attempting to understand Christian theology is the gift that keeps giving
As I’m listening to this podcast, it’s starting to sound more and more like the rapture is closer to the NFL draft. All the true believers go in the first round. The rest of us are left to get taken in the second third fourth fifth rounds.
I hadn’t thought about it like that, but I think you make a good point. Politics is sports. Religion is sports. Everything sport. God…
the lady grieving got to me. she was in the same position i was in when i left christianity. i realized that a God who creates you exclusively to have faith in him beyond all reason, or suffer a hellraiser torture chamber for all eternity(!!) isnt a God of unconditional love. its actually sadistic and needy. thinking about how he gave me my mother only to send her to hell, while im locked away from her in heaven got to me. also that God literally made me gay to “overcome my sin” and miss out on all love, the only beautiful thing in this world is too fucked up. it either had to be Hell is not real and being LGBT isnt a sin (both are actual theories, check out Rob Bell, who i was reading at the time) or Christianity is fake. and it was too overwhelming, i was too angry and fucked up about it that i just stopped thinking about christianity at all. i’ve lightly returned to christianity since, but only metaphorically as fables and parables.
Wow, thanks for sharing this comment. Very similar journey here
lol as a queer from the rural american south, i forgot that not everyone grows up learning all this haha. NO DOGS IN HEAVEN!! my baptist funde neighbors said that movie was sacrilegious. and it was like an actual debate i heard. a lot of people were like “pets have souls!” like my parents werent even religious but i still grew up in it. as a kid i was scared of the rapture, my daycare teacher told us about it, how it could be anyday, and he was coming like “thief in night”. my mom would try to reassure me like “theyve been saying that for thousands of years.” but the time span only made it more likely to kid me that it would happen soon. also yes new versions of the bible come out all the time, and there is huge infighting between denominations about which ones are allowed. my fundamentalist neighbors believed that the king james bible is the only correct one, because they think God used himself thru KJ to make his most accurate translations. others argue that its harder to read (it is especially for children) so they made the New International Version to be more comprehensible to modern readers which helps spread the gospel. southern christianity is about “saving” as many people as possible and about being saved after the rapture, no i think theres some time period where u can be saved but its mostly too late we’re gonna be stuck in a fog of nonbelieving and the horsemen or the apocalypse are coming to kill us.
“Saving as many people as possible,” while actively making the world a worse place to live and driving more people away than they bring into the fold as a result. But as long as they perfunctorily ask everyone they meet if they’ve heard of their lord and savior Jesus Christ, they’re getting points on some heavenly scorecard. I’m stealing this comparison from a Christian blogger I like, but they don’t have a religion so much as “an MLM with no product.” Bible translation is way more complicated than they understand. Like, there’s a reason people devote their entire careers to studying it, and scholars have disagreements about interpretations to this day. If you haven’t listened to it and are interested in the academic study of the Bible, I recommend the Data Over Dogma podcast. It’s fascinating. The Rapture isn’t even historically biblical, so it’s crazy how prevalent this new interpretation has become, like people just take it for granted that it’s always been part of Christian doctrine. It just wasn’t a thing until relatively recently. A lot of people don’t really read the Bible for context, though, they mine it for quotes they can use to prove whatever point they’re trying to make or they let the pastor at their church tell them what it says/means. I had a lot of End Times anxiety as a kid, too, because the church I went to was more on the fire-and-brimstone side than the loving God one. I remember when I was a little kid having trouble sleeping at night, thinking God was going to come get me and take me to hell, and I’d never see my family again. I was terrified of God the same way other kids were terrified of monsters or the boogeyman. It’s a really fucked up, traumatizing belief system.
I learned about tribulation history a few weeks ago from Jordan Breeding’s left behind recap video lol
144,000 Jews get to go. Some of them believe that it's just the Messianic Jews.
Y'all gonna restock the store ever? I want some merch
Coffee mugs and t shirts with Liv's "Go Read The New York Times You Fucking Bitch" or one of Julien's handful of bleeped comments.
Hey, that's true. How DO prophets account for time zones and the international date line?
I'm kinda surprised it's taken this long to get a wide-scale, poster-driven rapture panic.
If her account was deleted, how do we know she wasn't actually raptured?
Jake: What’s the difference between God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit? Me, a Catholic: There is no difference, three in one
I’m guessing most of the Jews Jake knows are more “culturally Jewish”. American Judaism outside of Orthodoxy is really more about traditions and community than religiosity. Also, surprised you guys didn’t talk more about the fact that the rapture was predicted to be on Rosh Hashanah. The “feast of trumpets” allegedly refers to the shofar. The Jews being the “welcoming committee” is kind of the entire premise of Christian Zionism.
It's not just Christians who like to do a post-millenarium dab. The Heavens Gate exit interviews are a wild artefact if you ever just need to feel weird.
Jake is the only biblical scholar I trust
Nothing but respect to the tunnel guys. I'm not religious, but digging holes with your bros seems so fun
I’m still here… but all my shoes are gone. Probably the Tylenol.

Fuck Heaven, I’m going where all the dogs go.
The reasons behind various Bible translations are super fascinating! Why don't we just stick with the King James Bible? For starters, many, many more manuscripts have been found since 1611, and the entire academic field of Biblical Studies didn't even exist until about 130 years ago. Also, many passages were either mistranslated or translated in such a way that fit King James's ideology or supported the monarchy or divine right of kings. Translation is a tricky business, and an English-language Bible translated by conservative Evangelicals (like the NASB, New American Standard Bible) differs wildly from translations used by academics (usually the NRSV, New Revised Standard Version). The King James Bible used an entirely different set of manuscripts for major portions of the Old and New Testaments, and today scholars generally consider it more a work of masterful poetry than a reliable rendering of the scriptures.
I know ye wonderful hosts of QAA are aware of the connection between American Evangelicalism and QAnon (I'm reading Marc-André Argentino's book right now thanks to you!), so y'all should consider having a regular religious studies consultant or correspondent. This stuff is not likely to get any less relevant as Christian Nationalism continues to grow...
You guys really should do a movie night on 1991's The Rapture, starring Mimi Rogers and David Duchovny, directed by Michael Tolkin. It really is one of those "how did this ever get made?" kind of movies, with an ending that will blow your mind. Please check it out.
Ghostbuster carrying a magic baby around is just Death Stranding, come on Jake
There's a Catholic joke about how you can tell converts from cradle Catholics: converts dress nicely for mass, sit in the front pews, and are the last to leave. Cradle Catholitcs wear whatever's at the bottom of the clothes hamper, sit in the back, and leave right after Communion. Christianity as its generally practiced is pretty much the same as Judaism - and Islam, and Buddhism, and Hinduism, and so on. Most people aren't in the weeds the way these nut-jobs are. They're from a very particular set of missionary/politically-motivated Evangelicalism that is an off-shoot of Protestantism but not in the same category. There's a great video on the ReligionForBreakfast YouTube channel called "Why Fictional Religions Feel So Fake" that touches on this subject. Also, if anyone wants to get into the weeds about Christianity check out the book "A History of Christianity: The First Three-Thousand Years" by Diamaid MacCulloch.
I think it's interesting that one of the women said she wouldn't unlock her phone quite yet because she had bills to pay. If she is about to be spirited away to heaven, does it even matter if she pays her bills?
I guess maybe you can’t get into heaven with a bad credit rating.
Jfc (evil giggling) I'm taking pleasure in their global embarrassment. Grew up with this unhinged bs, and pissimg myself at said emo twunt crying for us being left behind. Tbh wish they'd done us a favor an done a 'heavens gate' scene.
The guy on the autocue, he did sound sincere in his apology but then at the end basically blamed the rapture for this time not being the rapture.
I do think it’s fun that you all always refer to American Evangelicals as “the Protestants” when at least some of them would be absolutely furious to be associated with mainline Protestant churches in such a way.
isn’t carrying babies to warn off ghosts kind of what death stranding is about
Just commented that haha
I love y’all but as a former diehard Protestant Christian, I gotta say, y’all would’ve really benefitted from having a former preacher or ex-vangelical on to answer some of your questions. I was sat here responding to y’all like I was on the show, lol. Also some of the people you covered have released new videos! I would love a Part 2 or really more deep dives on the evangelicals with a former preacher like Durante Lamar or Deconstruction Zone or ex-vangelicals like Genetically Modified Skeptic or TheAntibot. Just an idea! Love you guys! P.S. Liv Agar
Don’t you know Liv is an expert on everything and that is why they have a cult like following from a subset of QAA followers?
The whole "video that explains the rapture" also seems very movie-brained to me. You can just imagine the christian rapture movie scene where the protagonist freaks out because his wife is gone or whatever and gets his exposition through his mildly goth gen z daughter going "Omg, dad! Look at this video going viral on tiktok!" I think that's probably what she imagined.
On the idea of what to call/ how to think of people trying to cite dream as if they are a proof, it reminds me of something that comes up during the Salem Witchcraft Hysteria, which is that the courts at that time would accept ‘spectral evidence’ from supposed victims (e.g. the Devil appearing to try to get them to sign the book and testimony of who else was there with the Devil). Spectral evidence was not expected to have a physical component or be otherwise provable, as it was basically someone testifying to a vision. And, of course, people died behind this evidence.
Do you recon there are people who think Trump is like a celestial pun referring to the Angel Trumpets because he's a loud blowhard?
I grew up in a predominantly evangelical area and yeah, people lean into that. “The TRUMP will sound!!”
great episode! i’m worried about the woman who deleted her account and who involved her children i her delusions. she reminded me of my friend who was raised jehovah’s witness while being gay. he had end of days nightmares as a child, and around christmas 2012 he had a psychosis brought on by the fear of the apocalypse. i hope this woman and her children are ok and that she has family to check in on her.
If I go to heaven I’m paying money for the Teddy DLC
Instead, September 23, was the day the escalator came to a halt and Trump told the world, “You’re all going to hell!”
my mom used to show me rapture youtube videos where people just disappeared and left their clothes behind ive been prepared to fight a demon war since like 2005
The idea that many evangelicals really know the Bible inside and out is like assuming that conservatives know the Constitution. They pick and choose or get told select verses that just help support their preferences i.e. anti-gay, anti-abortion, etc...like conservatives are mostly just aware of the Second Amendment not Article 1, not the 5 tenets of the First Amendment, etc....
The one thing that gives me pause is…. All the evangelical Churches in my town have a million bible study groups. So aren’t evangelicals constantly studying the bible???
But the rapture idea is not even like 200 years old, right? Isn’t the whole thing just basic heresy? Just asking as a confused ex catholic.
Yes. It’s Bible fan fiction. Only recognized by some evangelical sects. Not usually a part of mainline Protestant denominations (Lutherans etc).
I don’t have TikTok bc old and paranoid about the internet these days, so I’m glad to get this insight about the people who were hardcore into the rapture stuff over there, I was quite curious
The holy spirit speaking to her is incredibly common among Protestant style Christians, just as an FYI. The Trinity shows up in different ways across denominations, but as someone who grew up Mormon, the Holy Spirit was often called “the still, small voice” that one “hears” inside you…you could call it your moral conscience or whatever.. it’s your subconscious telling you how to behave in a specific moment. So it can also be kind of hypothesized that this extends out to like “oh I made a connection in my head to something I learned in Sunday school, it must be the lord/holy spirit speaking to me!”
Why are these people getting all worried about 'preparing for the rapture'? Like why do you need to sell your truck, or leaving your phone lock password. As a person who spends a lot of time worrying/ planning for stuff, I feel like i believed the Rapture was incoming, I'd be kicking back knowing that I literally don't have to worry or plan for anything ever again. Also as a person who had their Catholic Confirmation, I can attest that they're is no good explanation about the Holy Trinity. They're One. But they're also Three. Even if you can get behind the god/jesus part, you will never get anything resembling a cohesive answer when you question what exactly the Holy Spirit is. I think it's just like a vibe or something.
Off topic, but in line with your Patreon episodes. You are constantly referencing Trailer Park Boys. I am from Dartmouth and I work in a store the actors who play Ricky and Julian shop in almost every day. No one bats an eye, haha. John Paul Tremblay (Julian) was in today and I told him that I listen to a huge podcast, QAA (I was sure to tell him you debunk conspiracy theories, haha), that regularly references the Trailer Park Boys on their Patreon episodes. I showed him the link and he told me he was going to check you guys out. I'll mention you to Robb Wells (Ricky) the next time he's in. A QAA/Trailer Park Boys collab would be the funniest thing ever.
"And thou shalt go into the cupboard and retrieve thy cup" ~ Ephesians 69:12
The fact that Jake did research and said absolutely nothing about how the number thing in the bible is a roman empire reference is really funny to me
That girl crying about rapturing, whether purely performative, convinced herself into terror, or some mix of the two, is so so grim.
I really hope Romans lady's kids are ok, sounded like she had a bunch of them
I saw a video of her being angry that people had called in welfare checks for her and her children so I think she's ok - Also it's nice to know people reached out.
I think we need another adjective besides “coded”
As a Canadian all I can think about is how much housing prices would go down if a significant amount of the population was raptured (sorry)
The mind of a frostback is pure greed
When I was 8 everyone in my church convinced themselves the rapture was happening on y2k and I went to a 4 hour church service in a Town Hall where I saw my parents and all my friends parents cry and speak in tongues while I ate bagels and cream cheese.
liv agar
I don’t consider myself particularly catholic anymore, but nothing makes me feel catholic again like hearing about protestants. It’s like that Russell peters bit about turning Canadian so fast when he got off the plane in India for the first time.
Well all I can think about Joshua is Passtaaaahhh

Did all these people forget how the Bible tells people to be humble? If the rapture was legit happening I would be like “oh shit, lemme be a good person so hopefully I’ll get taken” not spend all my time humblebragging about my holy destiny. Christian influencers suck so hard.
I laughed at the woman telling people to bring their chickens to her place and her dog would take care of them. Janna would happy to “take care of” them. Sweet girl but she has a high prey drive.
So Joshua is like BBs in Death Stranding?
Death Stranding is exactly Ghost Busters with babies!
In no way are most Christians actually familiar with the Bible.
The next Y2K Techno-rapture is in 2038 when 32bit dates wrap back to 1901. Most software has already addressed it, but there is always a lot of bad code out there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem
This is interesting. I’ll start writing books to get ahead of the grift.
In art the holy spirit is often depicted as a dove. So maybe the dove started talking to her.
Off topic, but Jacob is doing great these days. https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/phoenix-qanon-shaman-files-40-trillion-lawsuit-against-trump-22763479
Plot twist! AMAZING article, cheers for sharing!
Reports of my rapture have been greatly exaggerated ! 👻
Man, these folks are soooo baked.
I’m pretty sure dude’s car was repossessed
drop the routine. where’s our “get ready for the rapture with me” ?
JFC. Lady! Do not make your cellphone background your passcode 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ - me listening to this while I do my cybersecurity assignment. But also, if the rapture happens, and people’s phones are left behind like this, I’m probably going to take their phones… victimless crime?
The rapture is free shoes for sinners day!
" Teddy DLC " ❤️
Once I visited a cemetery in Latvia where everyone was buried at this angle: / so it would be easier for them to rise "when the time comes." You couldn't tell from the headstones but it was very weird to think about as you walked around.
That is an impressive level of pre-planning. I kinda love that
Being an evangelical waiting for the rapture must be like being a dog in a house on a busy road, waiting for their owner to come home. Every time they hear a car they think it's happening
Except many dogs can tell their owners' cars from that of strangers by the sound, so I guess they are smarter than a lot of people
Catholic doctrine does not include anything about the Rapture. It's not part of their theology, even in the US. Radical traditional Catholicism (Vance and Gibson) is not real Catholicism. They ignore modern popes and reject Vatican II. A whole lot of US Catholics are progressive. The Rapture BS is entirely insane evangelicals.
Yeah for once we can be like “hey at least this one isn’t on us!” 😂
God, the UN mention. American evangelicals are more afraid of the UN than war criminals are
It’s probably bc both are made up and never follow through on their promises
Hot take, I found "The Leftovers.", insufferable. I feel like I'm the only one. Carrie Coon and Regina King were great though.
Oh thank goodness, someone else. I've tried it twice and just cannot care about any of the characters.
I had to pause this episode because I was laughing so much at Liv’s idea of a Muslim family being like “where did our cat go” 🤣🤣
Couple of things: 1. To Liz: Being rewarded this side of Heaven is not a protestant thing as much as it is a Calvinist and specifically American Christianity thing. Coming from a family of pretty dour and pious German Lutherans (the original Protestants if I say so myself) the only reward you get is being right and better than the Catholics (;-)) nothing else 2 About leaving the Bibles around. I believe that is an influence from the "Left Behind" books (if you want to dip your toe: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2015/11/05/left-behind-index-the-whole-thing/) after the rapture all the non-raptured are "tested" and the idea is that you can provide info for your fallen family to save themselves after all.
This reminded me of someone I knew who thought we'd ascend in 2012. Before that she was like "Im sad that we wont be able to eat when we become beings of pure light... But then I tell myself just let the food go." After it didnt happen they all blamed the Illuminati for tricking them into believing the 2012 stuff 🙄
Blame it on the Illuminati, it’s a classic for a reason
'See you tomorrow' 😂
Sheep goes to heaven, goats go to hell
Litter for Jesus
I think God flies birds
Manifesting Eurovision 💕✨
they're calling it the least ghostwritten book of all time
Presumably the majority of these people voted for Trump, why are they all so rapture hungry? God put Trump back in power just to pull the plug on everyone not even a year into his second term?
Well, there's certain things that have to happen for Jesus to come back, so I guess Trump's rightful second term was one of them
Kars for kids lol Jake listen to the true anon episode on it you sexy dumbass
I grew up always hearing about the rapture and the first time I tripped I was convinced it happened for about 4 hours, Was pretty scary and the lesson I learned is the rapture is a f'd thing to teach kids.
Honestly, a lot of stories in the Bible are f’d things to teach kids. I grew up in a Church of Christ, and they don’t believe in a separate Sunday school for kids, so you get treated to all the uncensored, messed up stories, not just fluff. I really believe it should be considered a form of child abuse (I mean think of all the stories that involve rape ffs), but they’re among the ones who want to ban books. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Obviously these weird prods ignore all the bits in the bible about how you should feed the poor and home the homeless. Just saying you have jesus in your heart is much easier I guess
Prodestants
I love that Jake's go to voice seems to be little Nicky now
What happened to Annie?!
she got raptured
Loved the episode guys, and this is a minor nitpick, but you can definitely feel that like Jake and Liv don't understand the what I would say is the more normie evangelical mind, I don't mean the super cooked ones like the Romans lady, but when you guys were talking about the lady who left bibles in her house, she didn't do that because she thought some of her family wasn't going to be saved, she left them so that when people come in to loot her home they see the Bibles and maybe she could save them, again, it's a minor nitpick, but I think there's a difference there that is illustrative of how the more average evangelical thinks of in-groups and out-groups. Also in relation to if animals go to heaven, from my experience of my more evangelical father's side vs my more progressive moms side: the more evangelicals don't think animals have souls, but if you're more of the "be nice to people" kind of Christian I think it's a kinda "yeah I'd like Spot to go to heaven too" vibe. I don't know if this is a common thing, but I distinctly remember some time in like elementary school, around the same time as you learn Santa isn't real, kids also start spreading the rumors about like "oh your pet isn't going to heaven" too. Very weird stuff And Jake if you really want to get into some insane Christian theology, look into the divide in pre-tribulation and post-tribulation rapture people, because the absolute worst evangelicals do not think they will be magically beamed up to heaven in the time before the 7 years of tribulation, they'll have to be soldiers of God in those 7 years before the rapture comes, it's a wild one.
Oh yeah! The God's Christian soldier crowd who are waiting for the opportunity to mad max up their neighborhood. Or build compounds and vaguely WS militias. That ideology is crazy to look into. 🤯

Y2k overtime bought my flat in London :) (My other half was also big in the banks, he now work for the uk govt lol)
My dad was an emergency responder during Y2K and they gave him a satellite phone because I guess that was supposed to still work. He's so not techy so we tested it by calling the house from the living room.
That lady with the kids having rapture dreams? That screams anxiety over their mother losing it.
Yeah..."I've been talking about the rapture non-stop for months, and now my kids are dreaming about it! It must be true" No shit they are having dreams about it.
We use Pandora at work and I wanted to make our employees and patrons least likely to disappear so day 1 was My Life With The The Thrill Kill Kult, day 2 was Slayer. I saved people.
I have been following this closely for the last couple months; keeping track with several influencers. Fascinating. The best of them were able to synthesize modern influencer type pages with true believer rapture content… they mostly deleted accounts and the real bummer has been how difficult I’ve found it to find any content of people who truly believed, just never ending content from wannabe comedians and mockery accounts. Unsurprisingly not funny stuff. Gimme the believers that’s the real comedy
Oh Sweet Jake, the Hardcore Christians believe Israel has to exist for Jesus to come back and Jewish people have to convert or be punished. Hardcore American Christians are hardcore pro Israel because their self righteous asses believe this needs to happen for the world to end, which will result in them going to heaven. So, psychotic af.
Their logic here makes me wonder what they’d do if they found the identity of the Antichrist and had the opportunity to take him out before he could rise to power. Would they do it, since killing him would subvert the prophecy, potentially putting off the apocalypse? Would they even decide to help him? You know, so Jesus can come down here and kick his ass, like he’s supposed to. For the greater good.
The Mayan 2012 one was my fave apocalyptic survival! y2k was just work
Ooh id forgotten that one! My kids were quite small i was busy that apocalypse:)
My reaction to people expecting the rapture and thinking it didn’t happen: Nah man. It really happened. It’s just no one including you was actually worthy. Must feel bad man…,
Yes, I was wondering both why that possibility never seems to occur to any of them, and what makes them so sure that they’re going to be among the ones taken.
I’ve never seen that person’s videos, but I assume the “20 people were saved” means 20 people were baptized on the live? Idk I’m not religious
The romans9through11 has since posted an update, and she seems so pissed lol
I asked a Southern Baptist preacher’s wife how she could possibly support Trump and be a Christian, and she said you need someone evil to fight evil… critical thinking is not part of their process.
I wonder what her answer would have been when Clinton was in office. I read that a poll of evangelicals is flipped almost exactly on the question of whether a president should be of good moral character, from the Clinton presidency (70 yes/30 no) to Trump’s first term (70 no/30 yes). “We’re electing a president, not a pastor” was a frequent refrain. Very funny how consistent their beliefs are.
An hour in and I think I'm high enough that I now want to try and cook my Christian family into thinking Noah is a warning about climate change melting the ice caps and flooding the earth again. 😂

Hey it’s me the messiah, you get one every 20 years but most get caught AMA
Finally something less disheartening, going to listen to this at work tomorrow morning.
YESSS I'M DRUNK AS SHIT WALKING HOME FROM A LONG EVENING AT THE PUB AND I'M MAINLINING THIS EPISODE. NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN ABLE TO LISTEN TO AN EPISODE THIS EARLY. LUV U ❤️
text us when u get home, Hank
As someone who’s brain is rotted with all this stuff the eschatological questions yall ask during the episode had me in conniptions 🥲
The rapture actually happened. It was those 1200 detained immigrants that went missing. They were the only ones worthy enough for heaven. Sorry racist Christian Nationalist Americans. You're stuck here in the apocalypse with us.
Maybe Gozar the Gozarian will arrive for Jake

I've never really looked into it, but I always had a bunch that all the people I saw in the late 90's with "In Case of Rapture This Short Will Be Unmanned" or"This Car Will Be Unmanned" bumper stickers went to QAnon when they began to worry they would die before getting to see the Second Coming.
