What if there really was a Rapture?

[Naturist Mark]

Mick LaSalle is posting a novel in progress, The Event that takes the End Times beliefs of the Religious Right at face value, unfortunately for them God's idea of a righteous Christian is not quite the same as theirs, and all the wrong people get raptured.

It's a Left Behind that skewers the Left Behind crowd.

Mark, are you sure this is a 'work of fiction' or just a 'reporting of actual events'?!

It's chillingly accurate, now, isn't it?!

I've always maintained that the self-rightious and self-annointed hypocrites are in for a very nasty surprise when they schlept themselves on up to the pearly gates.

You've seen the bumper sticker haven't you, "In Case Of Rapture--This Car Will Be Abandoned" and the one we scoffers love best, "In Case Of Rapture---Can I Have Your Car?"

Scoff all you want. It will happen (the Rapture). God will have the last laugh on us all.

Cool, then can I have your car?

[nacktman]

Ok!

Scoff, scoff, scoff, scoff, scoff, scoff,
scoff, scoff, scoff, scoff, scoff, scoff,
scoff, scoff, scoff, scoff, scoff, scoff,
scoff ...

Alrighty then, for the twentith time, SCOFF!

That is an interesting twist. All the "wrong people" get raptured, in effect creating heaven on earth.

[nacktman]

That'd be HELL on earth, there tinhfwv.
Unless you are reading a different novel than the rest of us?

[tinhfwv]

Nope, same novel.

[nacktman]

Yep, different novel.

But the wrong people couldn't be raptured.. unless you're saying God makes mistakes

Oh, oh!
Didn't want to say that, I was "playing nice".

[usmc1]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yadda, yadda, wrong or right, guys I don't care, but I still want a car out of the deal!

What if it's really not a Rapture, but a rupture instead?
