From the face of the earth, would you then reevaluate your views on Christianity?
Please don't answer that it can't happen. This question is for those willing to entertain the possibility for a short time in order to answer this question. Thank you.

Lee Harvey, that is not true. You could turn to Christ after the rapture, you would just have to suffer the persecution of the antichrist (This is, of course, if Revelation is taken literally).

Egghead, why would I complain? It's fine to express your views.
I would reconsider if I thought what was considered as "evidence" would be valid to my thinking...this means more than the non-existence of proof.

Yes, I'd reevaluate my views. First I might make sure it's not some sort of genocide. If it turned out that they just disappeared, then I might reconsider my religious beliefs.

The term "agree to disagree" is under-appreciated in today's world. As much as we'd all like to shout from the roof tops "I'm right, and if you disagree, you're wrong", we're far too incapable to "know" any actual truths, we're only aware of probabilities. Not only does the bible say "judge not, lest ye be judged", but I'm secure enough in my beliefs to give not half a sh*t if someone is an atheist.

Can a heathen answer as well?
Even if all the Christians disappeared (I assume you're talking about the Rapture) - I STILL wouldn't worship the Christian deity. I could not honor the deity of the Bible, especially the one of the OT. I don't see a "loving" deity anywhere in that book.
There are some good Christians that I admire and respect. A few. Their deity - no.

I might not even notice. Being that Christians make up a small percentage of the world population. Plus the fact that not all supposed Christians will make it through the rapture. If I did happen to notice a few people, who I new were Christian, were missing I would probably just think they went on vacation or something.

I would say it was the fulfillment of the parable of the wheat and tares described in Matthew 13. The tares are the heretics that have taken the place of true Christianity. They will be taken first and burned.
A taking of the true Christians prior to the resurrection of the dead is not Biblical. The more modern Christians twist the scripture to say that all these events are "invisible to the unbelievers", which is never mentioned in the Bible.
I am not a Christian, but I know what the Bible says. Christians can't pick and choose what they want to believe in it. Most of the modern Christians are following the teachings of men.

The world would be a much better place of all humans who believe in supersitions were erased from the face of this planet. That will be the best day for EARTH and all life forms.
Maybe we can finally have peace on earth but there is no such possibility because the human mind seeks God or Gods to worship so they can enter their heaven.

Well. Hmm. I guess that would mean more food for the rest of us. It would also mean there would be no people yelling about getting fairy tales taught as scientific facts in public schools. It might also mean quieter Sundays... no silly bells going off. Other than that, I can think of nothing that would essentially change, because we would still have the Muslims to deal with.

I have already re-evaluated my views on Christianity. I can't believe that the bible can talk about a just and merciful god then spread venom of hate for those who don't sign up as christians.

I am Christian (NOT one of those Pushy ones either! I believe what I believe and Atheist's can believe what they believe!) When the rapture Does happen It's going to be to late for them to "Change their minds" so if they are going to do it they better do it before it happens.

Yay shorter shopping lines! But seriously no I would not. Only because, I believe god looks at your heart not what building you went to worship at, or the version of the story you agreed with. I think it all depends on the type of person you are
