What if God held a Rapture and nobody came?
Suppose the Rapture already occurred, but finding no one worthy of salvations, God just left things like they were?

I have no doubt all the "religious" conservatives and fundamentalists of all stripes wouldn't make the cut.

1. Aren't those who aren't raptured supposed to spend
eternity in hell? Good thing I don't believe in hell.

This is a time of war, chaos, and destruction. But, there is still a chance for salvation!

There's still hope for us Liberals!!!!!

11. Look- I'm a total atheist- but if it goes down the way it's described-
in Revelations- we're supposed to be given a last chance to join with God...That's when i'll become a believer...but not a millisecond sooner- so STOP ASKIN'!

2. I am refusing to go. I intend to have a real good time here on earth after
all the bible thumpers have gone on to their 'reward'. Haven't you seen the bumpersticker,"come the rapture, can I have your car?"

10. I was raised in Lutheran schools, and i NEVER heard of The Rapture...
until my junior year of high school, when a group of fundy kids who attended the lutheran high school i went to used it as the topic of their video in a film class...i thought, and still do- that the whole idea sounds fucking goofy- even for christianity.
