    All good people were raptured but their bodies are kept operating so us left on earth will never know.

    Tell this to your local asshole evangelists. Let them deduct themselves that they are abandoned by god because they are shite.

      The Rapture turns you into a philosophical zombie is a new take I haven’t heard before

    I bet all babies and toddlers would disappear.

    But yeah, beyond that, I doubt there’s an adult out there who doesn’t break several of the 7 deadly sins many times a week: in present day society Greed and Envy are probably broken pretty much all the time, Wrath is probably a very common one for “conservatives” to break, and then there’s Lust which is naturally common, Glutony which is certainly widespread given the overweight “epidemics” in most countries and Sloth is likely very common in car-centric societies - I mean, somebody taking their car to go 500m to a store to buy a pack of beers and some chips is probably guilty of both Glutony and Sloth.

    That said, all the babies and toddlers and only them suddenly disappearing all at once would give it away.

      Some sects of Christianity believe that children inherit the sins of their parents, so even in the womb they don’t qualify!

    Isn’t there supposed to be like total destruction, war, famine and so on? Anyway, the world certainly has some of that, but the chaos hasn’t reached every place. It’s always tied to a particular place and time. It’s not happening everywhere.

    Anyway, that’s just my vague Hollywood style interpretation of what it might be. I don’t even know what Christians say about the Rupture.

    There are a few new missing persons reports on (what were) the last twelve remaining good people on the planet. The rest of us are down here jacking off in the bathroom with the fan on because parenthood has made it increasingly difficult (and way too risky) to do it in front of a computer.

    Pretty sure heat death of the Sun will get us before Rapture happens. Then again they might think that’s Rapture event if humans still exist by that time.

    Or Jesus could return, see what is happening, and think “fuck it, let’s kill them all.”

    They would not recognize Jesus anyway, expecting a white man wearing a toga and a cross, and carrying an American flag and an AR15.

    Maybe a pature happened, but it was Rush Limbaugh getting raptured down to an even lower depth of hell.
