TG: Bring On The Rapture

Trish Gannon: No. Even as a non-Christian (i.e., someone who doesn’t believe in the literal truth of the Bible - you go, Herb!) however, I have often considered writing a column titled “The Rapture Can’t Come Soon Enough for Me!” Truthfully, it sure seems like it would be a win-win for all of us - Christians get to disappear in the middle of what they’re doing, and the rest of us get to enjoy that they’re gone. ;0) I haven’t written it, however, out of respect for the 9 self-professed Christians whom I actually respect for their faith and their beliefs (i.e., they’re not hypocrites and truly believe in what Jesus preached).

Question: Trish is referring to the belief held by many Christians that God will pull believers from the Earth in the blink of an eye in an event referred to as the Rapture. Do you think such an event would be a good thing for both Christians and non-Christians?
