1. What I don't get is....
how some are seeing this thing go down. Supposedly, some believe it will occur in a rolling wave fashion - per time zone. I thought when it raptures, it raptures everywhere on the whole planet at the same time??

3. Do you want everyone piling up at the Pearly Gates at the same time?
Even those with elite pre-boarding status would be stuck in line for hours.....

4. I hope Heaven doesn't use Aramark for their concessions. They'll be out of napkins & hot dogs fast.

5. I wonder if the Pearly Gates hide a full-body scanner?

Will they be taken without their shoes, or have to remove them before entering?

Questions, questions...

7. Great, little piles of dirty clothes and shoes all over the place, left for someone

else to clean up while they try to take all the glory.

Are they, by any chance, predominantly Republican?

8. I've decided I'm going to wait to be raptured until 12/21/2012
That is when the Big Boys get their rapture..

9. the thing, only the few would be raptured and the rest of us would be spending hell on earth
isnt that the way it is suppose to work?

11. hence my asking the question. but the people promoting the rapture are the fundies, who are literal
literalists and as literalist, they would take the literal interpretation of the bible which states only so many will be raptured and the rest live in hell on earth

right?

14. Back in the day they talked about the 144,000.
If 144,000 people, out of a population of close to 7 billion, up and vanished NOBODY WOULD NOTICE.

16. i couldnt remember the number but knew it was pretty insigificant.

13. I got a great idea.
Let's all go out and kidnap a bunch of obvious Christians tomorrow night, then call CNN on Saturday and report them missing.
