During the apocalypse, who would you side with?

Asked by ragingloli (51954points) March 17th, 2014

The Apocalypse is upon you.
All the “righteous” have been whisked away to heaven, and angels invade Earth to kill all the rest.
Needless to say, you are one of the damned.
Do you fight back to protect humanity, or do you accept your judgement without resistance?

As a side question, how do you expect the self proclaimed Christian US government to react? (it goes without saying, that not a single one of them was transported to heaven)

I will find out that the angels explode when listening to Dutch sung songs and hearing people speak Dutch.

We will finally unite the world under the proud Red, White and Blue and chase the threat of the angels away.

We will offer to save the US as well, but first they have to promise not threaten us with invasion anymore.

Sadly a great nation is lost.

The US government would be safely tucked away in their bunkers, which would be hell on Earth for anyone else.

Ooh. Difficult one. Not sure the majority of humanity deserve my support but then again I too am, supposedly, human and ya gotta go with what ya know so.

And, if we do win, do I then accept without question the reinstallation of the previous “leadership” once they drag their cowardly asses out of their hidey-holes.

Going to run and search my music list for Dutch rap music

If I only have the two choices, to accept an unjust judgement or fight. I suppose I’d have to fight. But fighting might mean sitting it out until the big guys weaken themselves to where I might have better than a snowball’s chance in hell.

The answer is completely clear to me.

I would side with the group playing classical music, because it is indisputable that classical music is better than anything contemporary. (please refer to @ragingloli post of late last week)

I stand with Odin, come Hel or Jörmungandr.

@SavoirFaire Indeed. When all this is over, we’ll be drinking beer using the skulls of those angels as mugs.

I’ll be in the shield wall with @SavoirFaire and @Symbeline.

The Valkyries we will fly into battle to the strains of Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries!

Angels, Valkyries, Demons, Daemons, etc. threaten any of those I bother to consider as someone worthwhile. Well shit, I’ll go Danny Mcbride on them and make them my Channing Tatum.

Anyway, I’m so far gone in my atheism that I’d see God, Devil, whoever, whatever as merely an obstacle to overcome or be consumed by… But it wouldn’t hurt to have Jack Black on my side being that he and Tenacious D have beaten the so called Devil once or twice.

Whoever has the most beer.

Berserker's avatar

@Blondesjon You’re with us Warriors of the North then. Hell, we BLEED beer. That’s IF someone manages to even make us bleed.

I would be one whisked away, but I will be praying for you all to get with it and make the last harvest before the full judgment unfiltered hits. 8-o

Who ever my mom’s side is.

@Hypocrisy_Central
You were not whisked away. Despite your holier than thou attitude, you failed to meet your gods expectations, and were left behind.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

Luckily that is not for YOU to say, and since you do not UNDERSTAND GRACE, I don’t think I will see you up there with me.

ragingloli's avatar

Yes it is for me to say, for I am the Creator of this Thread.
I am the Law.
You can either answer according to the premise of this thread, or leave. Now.

Berserker's avatar

@ragingloli I think he pretty much said he’d side with God.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

Seeing this is a thread of heresies, lies, and more, I think I said what I needed. I will leave you a brochure for fire insurance by the door on the way out. LOL LOL

Since YOU are god, maybe you can do something about GW Bush, and the rest of the clowns wrecking the earth.

@Symbeline
Then he is an enemy of mankind and must be destroyed.

Berserker's avatar

Fist fight between Obama and Putin, who wins?

Winter_Pariah's avatar

@Symbeline I think I’d actually pay to see all 5 seconds of that.

NanoNano's avatar

The premise doesn’t work for me.

But if there were some sort of apocalypse, basically, I wouldn’t side with any remaining government or coercive organization, whether religious, extraterrestrial, you name it.

I’m not a joiner.

ragingloli's avatar

@Symbeline
As a former KGB Operative, Putin probably knows hundreds of ways to kill Obama with his bare hands within 10 seconds.

SavoirFaire's avatar

@ragingloli Yeah, but Obama is one of those secret Muslims. Surely he’d just use the suicide bomb they carry on themselves at all times to take Putin with him. ~

Berserker's avatar

This is why it would be an interesting fight…who knows what both would do. Hell I’d pay just to hear them talk on the phone;

Obama; Stop fuckin around, you damn ruskies.

Putin; Nyet, dog son!

At least it has to be more interesting than back when Bush was president and Canada’s Stephen Harper was phoning him just to tell him he likes the smell of his anus.

I’d try to spite such a horrible god by killing myself, and hope for oblivion. The concept of the typical religious version of heaven does not sound too appealing to me either, the concept of existing in some realm where I would be devoted to worshiping an egocentric entity forever. If there is a realm we go to after this life is up, I would highly doubt we would be spending time there worshiping anything, but we would likely be having another purposeful existence, probably not a boring one either from what I’ve read about the topic but nuff said.

On a side note, the ‘righteous’ in this hypothetical scenario would likely really be the faithful, so maybe most of the corrupt people would end up in such a heaven anyways, while the truly decent people would be the ones suffering here. This is the doctrine that states faith, not works, is required to get into heaven.

RabidWolf's avatar

I’d fight the darkness and try to keep evil from taking full control. I’d hope for a pardon since I did try to make amends for the wrongs I did.
