    I actually don’t believe. I’ve only been exposed to this because of my born again sister. She cries when thinking about the “Rapture” because she’s afraid she won’t be near her husband when it happens. She loves my BIL very much. She thinks that everyone will be enthralled by Christ and will be praising him constantly for eternity. Like, literally that will be the only thought in anyone’s head. Like a cult. I was the last born and by the time I came around, my mother couldn’t be bothered to take me to church. She was too tired. I’m very thankful to her for that even if it wasn’t her intention to not indoctrinate me. Never been baptized either.

      Yeah. Used to be deep into fundie-land myself.

      Hindsight… all those depictions of heaven sounds like torture. Like, there would be nothing better to do except go to worship services and listen to hillsong 24/7.
