I had a conversation with a coworker today that believes they are all leaving at that point while I believe they are not all leaving.
What does ACF say?

Anyone who believes that they're awesome enough to get into heaven by default probably isn't. I mean...the only other option is that heaven is full of conceited assholes, and that doesn't sound much like a heaven to me...

If you believe your god is going to come down and grab your ass and fly off to heaven with you while you are alive.....you have bigger problems than worrying about how you will look flying off to heaven while wearing a skirt.

The whole concept of rapture is retarded. So if you're a christian at a certain point of time you get to vanish when things turn bad. Yet I am sure there are plenty of christians today who will die horrible deaths. Where is their rapture?

my understanding is that if you were to die and be allowed into heaven, those are the people who would be taken in the rapture.
everyone left are the non-believers, sinners, etc who would have been turned away by Peter at the Pearly Gates and sent to hell...
so if you don't get taken in the rapture, but you think of yourself as a Christian, you're obviously doing it wrong.

Im just saying horrible things happen to Christians every day. Why do other people think they are special enough that they can avoid that?
Luke 21:
10 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
12 “But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. 13 And so you will bear testimony to me. 14 But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. 15 For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. 16 You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. 17 Everyone will hate you because of me. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish. 19 Stand firm, and you will win life.
EDIT: Forgot some verses.
20 “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. 22 For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. 23 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26 People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. 27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.â€

The Rapture doesn't actually exist, it is just another dumb thing that Protestants added to the bible.
Its like Purgatory or "buying your way into heaven" that the Catholics created in order to get money.

I just wanted to point out that no where in the bible does it mention this rapture. It is only a theory that some 12 year old girl came up with in the 1800's, and now churches teach it...

I thought the whole point of their group was that they didn't figure they'd get into the 144k, so they think god will remake earth into a better place for the rest of them?
I mean, they're always asking me what I think will happen after the rapture to those left behind. and then hand me their magazine thingy with lions on the cover and a beautiful green paradise in the distance.

Go to youtube and watch some clips from the "atheist experience"
You'll see how truly backwards the logic is that most religious people have.
Personally I'm agnostic and would rip a atheist a new one. Hell, Richard dawkins is agnostic now. Gee, I wonder why. Probably because the only reason to be "atheist" is to rub it in the face of the religious. No one can truly know one way or the other, and that is truly the point.

There's a whole lot of anti-religion hate on this board, isn't there? Just have to think, though, that if all the "religious nut jobs" are right, and God exists, and Jesus comes again, there's going to be a bunch of what the Bible calls "gnashing of teeth" from many on this board.
