The world as we know it will certainly end some day.
The "rapture" is a figment of over-active imagination. Not to mention, the bible is an almost entirely anonymously written collection of separate works that were compiled into one book by a committee at the Council of Nicea. The authors of most of the works cannot be verified, and it certainly can't be verified that they were magically "inspired" by god. It is religion by here-say. People are quite gullible when they want something to be true...
Ever play that game where someone whispers something in someone elses ear, then passes it on to the next person? By the time it gets back to the person who originated the message, it becomes something quite different. Now multiply that by 2000 years.....
Even most devout Christians know in the back of their head that it isn't true. Otherwise they wouldn't be afraid of or mind dying. If it is true, why take medicine, have surgeries, or otherwise prolong your life? You mine as well die, because what happens after is much better....

I would love the rapture to happen right now.
My neighbor is a Born Again Christian, that lives in a very large home and drives around in a mercedes. If he was raptured today, I would be living in his home assuming his name before it struck midnight. All my friends would say how did Sansfear make it into heaven, but Mr. Jebus is still here?

I'm sure he's less harsh as a Judge then the guy I'm appealing my parking ticket to. It would get me out of paying 50 bucks.
Am I the only one who always thinks Blondie and Muriel Hemmingway whenever people start talking about rapture?

Catholics don't sense in it, neither is it a "Protestant concept," consistent with se. that's an invention of John Nelson Darby, an Anglican priest who defected, grew to grow to be an extreme congregationalist, and invented the tactic of eschatology observed as Dispensationalism. To this contemporary, the rapture remains a especially fundamentalist and Baptist educating, with great penetration into different segments of Evangelicalism. All mainline Protestants reject it as a pretend doctrine.

No, I like the world. People who don't, who are hoping for the Rapture or an afterlife, instead of working on this world that we know we have been given, scare me.

I don't have a problem with it, but I do have lost friends and family members, so I would prefer to wait...
