Atheist: If millions of christians were raptured tomorow & you saw it, what explanations would you offer?

Question

or better still..... what explanation. in your opinion, would best explain this event?

Raptured = flying up in the air up into the sky and not coming back down straight away.

Come on people. I want at least some attempt at a serious answer. i want christians to see how intellectually honest atheist can be. But hey....your answer is your answer I suppose.
:)

Answer 1

I'd say they had been eating too much over Christmas.
Oh! Wait! You wrote 'raptured', NOT 'ruptured'. Well, I'd put it down to too much helium gas ingestion at wacky office parties.

But seeing as you wanted a serious answer, let me say that I would be prepared to accept the rapture of Christians into Heaven as a pretty solid piece of evidence in favour of faith based beliefs. Hey, whadda you think would happen if you had conjoined twins (Siamese) and one was a Christian and the other was a Satanist. Would they both get raptured?

Answer 2

that certainly relies upon on in spite of if Bart is keen to stay as much as his contract. if so, then the money would be well worth it to the pets besides. does no longer or no longer that's strange nevertheless, if (I droop my faith right here) rapture truly happens. i ask your self what human beings will think of has got here approximately? it's going to be everywhere in the information and could reason a real panic i think of. i contemplate whether airline pilot communities are vetted so as that one or the different isn't a real Christian? there will be people who think of that the extraterrestrial beings have finished some thing too. and then there will be others who concern a clean plague. there will be quite some bodies to handle. a minimum of then, the human beings who've had to place up with each and every of the nonsense of their born lower back Christian acquaintances and kin gets the message while that's got here across that those sort of lifeless bodies are authentic Christians. confident would be unusual. what is going to you think of, do you think of?

Answer 3

There would be no way to prove that Christians and only Christians were taken. There would be no way to prove that what happened was actually the Christian "Rapture" and not some other extremely unusual event. My money would be on space aliens invading before I'd ever consider whatever it is you think god is, if not a space alien?

Answer 4

First suspicion would be that someone put something in the water and didn't tell me. Second thought would be that I might have been wrong, too bad, too late for me. Anyone I know going up there? Not too many. I won't be lonely down here. I will wonder if I'm missing out on something fun. Oh, well, back to work.

Answer 5

I would probably explain it as the the rapture, but this would be only if Xians were taken and other religions or lack thereof were not. Of course all the evidence would have to be taken into account.

Answer 6

I'd start rocking out to some Blondie!

You want a serious explanation for an impossbility? Ok.

Ooh, how about this: Christians, what if your god came to earth tomorrow in human form, got into a fist-fight with Odin, and lost. What would your explanation be?

Answer 7

I don't believe I'm required to offer an explanation. Or care muchly.

How many are we talking here? I want to know much to celebrate.

Answer 8

Didn't anyone tell you, the rapture happened last week. Jesus came and took all the worthy people to heaven.

All the Buddhists are gone.

Answer 10
