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.

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.

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

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

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 🤷🏼‍♂️

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
