There are some people out there who think they're going to be 'beamed up' to heaven as a reward for being self righteous evangelists.
Personally I think that a world without fundamentalist Christians would be brilliant! (oh, and can you take some of the Muslims with you please).
Anyway, I digress...why do you believe such stuff?

I Had a rapture once but I went to my GP and she sent me to hospital to get it fixed.

Check S.B.S. television. They had a programme about some brain research.
During brain surgery a part of the brain was touched and the patient, a nun, said she saw Mary. Then they did similar surgery on an aethiest and patient also saw white lights and heavenly things. Apparently it is - a part of the brain + some chemicals + being in a susceptible condition that causes the whole thing. Nothing to do with religion except that some people including that nasty slave owning St Paul who got a nasty bout of de-hydration and was so 'up himself' that he said it was god.
In 2001 I died, it took ten hours to get me back properly. I did not see anything.

It is total nonsense - but living in a fantasy world has its benefits - you get to replce the things you don't like with more of what you do like - I think that gives you at least a partial & good explanation.
Why do people turn evangelist? I have no idea, one guess would be from remorse about what they have done when they were younger & selfisher

NO NO NO and reason is the rapture was a dream a thirteen year old girl had in about 1850. Her uncle was a publisher and made a fortune selling it in his new bible. Saw on national geographic. True story.

Yes, I do! It is in the Bible in Thessalonians 4:16-18

Because they have all these silly videos that they bring children up on in church! I used to have to watch a series called 'Rapture'
I beleive a version of it will happen, but it will be more people disappearing due to radiation attacks than anything

No, that's just another bit of religious mythology.

No, because that would require a god, and there is no evidence that any exist.

No, I don't. Simple: because my God is not a God of distruction.

The Bible says so. That's good enough for me.
