Is The Rapture threatening us with a good time?
Also, I didn't know the difference between the rapture and the second coming of Jesus so thanks for the info!

To Francis from Left 4 Dead, there is no difference between a zombie and a vampire.

It's like The Canterbury Tales in space. It's four books, but the first one stands on its own.

That's simply not true, unitarians disagree with the trinity thing.

That 10% is doing a lot of work here

If they’re “intelligent” then I think yes. “God’s image” is a reference of conscious, loving, and powerful. They would have original sin if they evolved out of a biological gauntlet like we did and had to fear constantly because it was the only way for their species to survive amongst all the predatory life around them.
As a buddhist evolutionary psychologist might put it, they would have dukkha nature because a default state of dissatisfied craving would be the thing that drove them to keep worrying after their bellies were full.
Their civilization would have taken them to new environments beyond their Environment of Evolutionary Adaptedness, requiring them to “work” instead of just following their instinctual programming.
So they would have had their own ejection from their own Eden, into the world of mortality.
They would have left the effortless Tao of their original nature. They would be like Amazonian tree frogs living in glass boxes solving simple puzzles to get food pellets. Capable, but horrified and missing something they never consciously knew.
We all must pass through this phase of awkward separation as we emerge from nature into civilization.

Look, if they did that to Jesus they will do the same or worse to you without batting an eye.

Maybe we need to give an offering of Viagra if we want Jesus to come again.

If all successful civilizations believe in something isomorphic to the Pythagorean theorem, then this is evidence that it’s real.
God works the same way.

Strange to me to our Asimov and Heinlein in the same genre. That’s like when I start Spotify Radio from Cheryl Crow and get Metallica and Green Day because Spotify thinks I’m looking for “90s music”

I disagree. I believe because I’ve witnessed miracles.

If y'all think Jesus I'd so good you should meet his hermalito lupe.

So have Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, Pagans, and witches.
So that's clearly a bad way to know what's true.

They’re both definitely scfi and I have enjoyed all that I have read of them.
I will say, I haven’t read a lot of them since I was a teenager and I’m old now.
Still though, robots, moon people, mars people, dude being thrown from universe to universe.
It’s pretty clear to me why it’s the dame genre.

Yeah, no shit. They wrote a bunch of books with varying accounts claiming exactly this. All retcon. All written decades after the events. The Bible is bullshit.

All written decades after the events.
Unlike most of history for that time, which was usually written centuries after the events.
