Selfishly - yes - to go be with God.
In reality - no. There are too many people who need to hear the Word of God. There are too many of my friends and family I would have saved first.

I would love to be Raptured sometime during my life. However, right now there are too many people that I know or love that would probably not survive the judgments after the Rapture, so I don't want it to happen today. I'll just have to trust God to choose the right time to Rapture all of His true followers.
For anyone who doesn't know, the Rapture is when, in the Christian faith, God will take everyone who believes in Him, living or dead, to Heaven. After that will come about 7 years, during which there will be judgments of the people who are left.
I highly recommend the Left Behind books-they are excellent fiction about the time after the Rapture.

Matthew 24:21 for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world's beginning until now no nor will occur again. In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.
If they were all raptured out what difference would it make. God could take as long as he wanted. So the good people are still here.

Sounds like your asking for the Mormons to be raptured. If your asking if all those who are saved are they ready to be raptured out then no I am not ready yet.

I would love it. As an atheist, to have a world free of Christians and the biggest religion, gone, would be absolutely fantastic. Then we can live in peace and quiet.

If it's the only way to get rid of the Xians, then yes

Not me because too many people would be left behind. I think that's why it hasn't happened yet, because God is giving people a chance to repent and be saved.

"What a queer thing is Christian salvation! Believing in firemen will not save a burning house; believing in doctors will not make one well, but believing in a savior saves men. Fudge!" Lemuel Washburn

No, there are still a lot of people that need time to find their faith.
