Or, ya know, maybe just the result of metabolic acidosis from kidney disease, kidney failure or untreated diabetes.

Yeah but that's not as marketable.

So bro was sitting in this chair butt ass naked to where their skin was making direct contact like that? They better hope he got raptured cause that's so much less embarrassing. I can just hear the Shlick of the leather as it clings to their sweaty, acidosis riddled skin.

Acidic sweat could slowly leech the tanning chemicals from the leather. Him or her being naked isn't necessary. More likely to happen somewhere warm and humid, though. Probably the US southeast, like Louisiana, Florida, or similar.

As much as I want this to be true, someone said it's most likely just the tar and chemicals from a heavy smoker which darkened a light chair but your idea is cooler.

Damn, must have been a smoker.

Really, it's a light colored chair discolored by smoking everywhere but where it was covered.

That foot rest looks so uncomfortable

I think someone might have died in that chair.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That would still be the case if the post was true

Not if he was raptured while still living!

Rapture happened but it ended up being only one guy.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

I like the presumption that everyone in this conversation is post rapture, and that we all gotta come to terms with plan B.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are they implying that being raptured would somehow leave that image on the chair? Because that doesn't make sense even given how silly the idea of the rapture is.

[–] SkepticalButOpenMinded 53 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In the reality where people can be raptured, what is logically incoherent about rapture causing slight discoloration of furniture? For me, if there’s difficulty in suspension of disbelief, it’s in the former part, not the latter.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Because rapturing doesn't stain leather. It's just a ridiculous notion.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a licensed rapturologist I can verify that rapture events do leave stains on organic material. It's the same miraculo-chemical process that burns Jesus' face into the toast of true believers.

Evidence: Shroud of Turin

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Unironically this is a pretty good piece of "evidence" - don't get me wrong rapturing isn't real, but we're talking about internal consistency here, not reality - if rapturing is real, then the Shroud of Turin is real, which means that the marks left on it must be typical for divine dissappearing acts 🤷🏼‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the Shroud was genuine, someone from the UK would have put baked beans on it.

Checkmate, theists

It's a joke about how religious people keep claiming to see Jesus' face on toast and how baked beans on toast is the UK equivalent of a PB&J sandwich

[–] SkepticalButOpenMinded 29 points 1 year ago

Why not? It’s like saying, “Witches don’t exist, but if they did, it’s ridiculous to think that they can make love potions.” I would even go so far as to say leaving “shadows” behind is a standard part of rapture lore.

I guess I’m just a lot less confident about how rapture physics works than some folks.
