Turns out Mary is a Rapture Poseur. A Rapture Hipster.

KiasyonSFM

Get out Christ nerded Mary, you absolute poser.

Astariel

Ha, that's great! Weaponize those years of Bible Study, Joyce!

Grace Serenity

Joyce used hyper fixation! It's super effective!

Minzoku Bokumetsu

she's the one who showed up to the book club w/o having read the book (The Bible) while Joyce did

Andrew

A Rapster? Before it was cool of course

Andrea Andrew

More evidence thet Joyce’s parents basically brainwashed her with Bible nonsense. LOL

Maude Reads Things

The best way to use your ex-fundie friend who still memorized the bible

Grace Serenity

Nah, this is her autism showing. No one gets into pre-trib vs post-trib unless they are REALLY into the rapture. Revelation is a book most churches avoid

Jamie (QueenofSodor)

not the first time joyce has been used as smokescreen (if you get this you're a real one)

Andrea Andrew

Not the churches I went to. My parents still believe the rapture will happen and all my worries about climate change are meaningless.

Free Headspace

Eh. I'm an atheist and I had a friend who filled me in on the different millennialists. I found it interesting enough to remember it. I think it's a good thing to have knowledge of things you don't believe, and even though Joyce now worships at the shrine of Athe, she can use her previous knowledge for good.

Ruthless shattering that fourth wall in the last panel. In the missing next panel she watches Joyce pursuing the fleeing Mary, then turns back to us and says, "Ain't I a stinker?"

Empress of Robots

Let's be honesty, Joyce is 100% on-boarding with tribbing now...

Tessea

Did... did Ruth just break the 4th wall?

Logibear

Where's Malaya when you need them. "Fuckin Fake Poser!"

Empress of Robots

It's like that scene from West Wing but with 100% less Martin Sheen...

Joyce: Hardcore rapturer. Mary is more of a mobile rapturer.

Amós Batista

Mary is indecisive about being horrified, amazed or superated.

Joyce has outed Mary as a casual rapture enthusiast, whereas Joyce would have done ranked competitive rapturing in the not-so-distant past, if that were a thing one could do.

Packy Anderson

"Imagine: a world without people like ME." Please, that is the only reason that I hope the Rapture IS real: the world will be rid of people like Mary, and we'll be able to start fixing everything they've broken once they're gone.

DramaQueen

Possibly many evangelical churches are against their parishioners READING the bible and interpreting it themselves. Or reading it in other than the approved translation. Critical thinking is right out.

Packy Anderson

I think after tomorrow, I'm going to make the mirror-image of most Tumblr requests: "can we get panel 6, without Ruth (and her speech bubble), Joyce, and Mary in it?" I want to read all of Joyce's infodump.

Alison Berry

GET AFTER IT JOYCE WEAPONIZE THAT AUTISM

Elizabeth

I could probably have given this rant at 18, fresh out of two years of Honors Bible wherein we memorized whole chapters from Revelations and our end times obsessed headmaster mostly didn't actually show up, BUT, when he was in there, it was bell to bell on End Times usually. John the Revelator was on a _seriously_ bad trip when he wrote that shit, and the translations and edits haven't made it any better.

Shane Wegner

::crackly Counterstrike radio voice:: "Bomb has been planted."

Brian Danger Hicks

What? Did the Left Behind books not explain the various schools of thought vis-a-vis the millennium?

Dan Rabin

Carla shows enhanced self-awareness, followed immediately by Mary talking about the end times. Coincidence?

Gale Tazzin

the world left behind after the rapture as described by evangelicals sounds more and more like heaven on earth

ArdieBea

In some ways Mary's not wrong. The 'left behind' passages in the Gospels where Jesus is talking about the 'tribulation to come' are warnings to be ready because 'you know not the day or the hour.' And he goes on to talk about two men walking in a field or two women working and one will be taken and one left.' The irony of it all is that Jesus very clearly means that one person is taken to destruction - as his parallel with the flood of Noah makes clear. And the rapture idiots have reversed it to say that one will be taken 'to salvation'. Mary is right. People like her, according to Jesus, are bound for destruction.

thejeff

Mostly losing the context of what he was writing about and how apocalyptic literature worked makes is worse. It was probably pretty clear what the metaphors applied to in the early 2nd century.

thejeff

Generally rapture follows the tribbing, so I guess that makes her a posttribulation rapturist. That doesn't map cleanly onto pre or post millenialism though.

thejeff

@DramaQueen: Or to take the Catholic position, all this heretical nonsense comes from letting the people read the Bible and interpreting it for themselves.

Simon Magid

And small loss they would be, too.

Simon Magid

'Bound for destruction' is giving me serious 'All Your Base Are Belong To Us' vibes here.

Simon Magid

Oh Mary, did it ever occur to you that one of the previous Raptures was actually the real one and that you were (deservedly) one of the ones left behind?

Harold

Joyce: "I came in like a Rapture Ball..."

Packy Anderson

I'd say it would be less "a loss" and more "literally, a gift from God".

Andrea Andrew

Right?! Apparently, JD Vance is a Catholic but he still believes in the rapture. As does Stan Smith from American Dad.

Kelly (they-them)

And now I'm finally caught back up after Patreon logged me out and it took me ages to look up my password to log back in - Hooray! The password I had written down was incorrect, so I ended up needing to change the password anyway

Tessea

Mary may have read the book, but Joyce knows _the lore_.

Beck Chonigman

Wait. Is it only Evangelicals that believe in the Jesus Apocalypse?
