You know, I think the Onion is printing actual news stories these days. :D

1. I just assumed it was real.

No need to Onionize that one.

6. Comedy Central's Indecision Forever found an example last year

Well I am not really sure where the kids are getting it--at home(from the news/parents), at school, or both, but generally all of the kids I work with believe that the world is going to end because of global warming.

My job is to help them with their homework. They have little study groups and I lead them. Sometimes they ask current event questions and today, like many other days, the kids asked about global warming. They never ask what exactly it is or if it is actually true...instead they ask what they can do to stop it. They are genuinely worried about it.

So the kids start naming stuff like recycling, carpooling, etc. and I started praying. I asked God if there was anything I could say to stop them from believing that global warming is a problem. I really hate that they have been so deceived. When I mention stuff like how not all scientists agree it is true, they kind of look at me like I've lost my mind. Well within about 15 seconds of praying, while the kids were still talking about global warming, a girl in my group randomly started talking REAL loud and interrupted all of the kids. She didn't just start talking about anything though...she started talking about the rapture!!!! I was so excited!!! she must have rambled about it for ten whole minutes, completely ending the global warming talk. She even started talking about the mark of the beast and how she learned that it is bad to take it and she started talking about the RFID chip. this girl is twelve! she usually only talks about her clothes and boys. it was so unexpected, but I was so relieved and grateful! Praise God!!

I just wanted to share because I have been working there all year and I have had to deal with these poor kids asking me questions about the world ending day in and day out. It is really difficult to talk to them sometimes because of the religion rules in the school system. Don't get me wrong, I do talk about it when I can...but there are just a lot of situations when I cannot. However, when the KIDS are the ones talking about it, and in this case practically preaching it, no one can tell me that I'm offending anyone or breaking any rules

Of course, Rapture Ready is the embodiment of Poe's Law: it is impossible to tell if what is posted is a genuinely held belief, or a parody that the author thought was obviously over-the-top.

7. I know...but sometimes the scariest things turn out to be true...

..there are people out there who think recycling is the demon's work.

4. It is real. They'd do away with all science if we let them get away with it.

5. Science is the work of the Devil!

As is reason and thought!
