Jesus asked, When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth? This seems apparently rhetorical, i.e. he's saying there won't be much Christian faith on the earth in the end, and so I don't think the rapture will involve huge numbers of people.
So you believe in magic. If you go to Vegas you can watch Penn and Teller put a woman in a box and make her disappear too.
I really hope for your sake you don't waste your entire life believing that garbage. NOW PLEASE don't come back at me with crap claiming I am just being mean or picking on you personally.
I am saying YOUR LOGIC stinks. There is no evidence one bit that humans anywhere in the world, in our entire species history, that we survive our own deaths, not one bit.
The worst part of that fantasy is that you don't seem to understand that story as an idea puts all outsiders in as pawns, garbage, to be thrown away like trash, also at the expense of destroying the entire planet. That doesn't come across to me as loving or kind, but selfish and cruel.
So most of the population of the plant's 7 billion will suffer if we are going to pretend that your deity exists? And again, you think your religion is the only one to claim a "final chapter"?
How about accepting reality? There is no Jesus, no Allah no Yahweh. You will not be beamed up to the starship Jeususprise by Captain God. If you are not swayed by the promises of the Koran or threats of the Koran, or their ideas of heaven or hell, and you are not swayed by the claims of Hindu reincarnation, then try to understand that your biblical transporter story sounds just as silly to us.
