Even if Jesus came and took all the good Christians with him, people would still find reasons not to believe.

Allow me to break it down.


The current situation:
People insist that god exist but can provide no solid evidence and therefor no real reason to believe beyond faith.

Insufficient evidence

The rapture:
Jesus literally fracking comes and takes people away

Sufficient evidence

You know what is going to be terrible about that?
The thing that gives you confirmation of what you believe, The Holy Spirit.........leaves with them.
So to be a Christian after that.........it'll be harder than it has ever been before. You will be tortured, hunted down, mocked, horrors will come to those who claim Christ.

you will die for not taking the mark of the Beast.

And you will have no confirmation that what you believe is true. You will just have to trust that what you believe is true to the end.

Damn this bait is obvious.

What the... How did you get Legendary so fast? What is this? I don't even.... 

The thing that gives you confirmation of what you believe, The Holy Spirit.........leaves with them.

I think seeing the stars falling to earth and Jesus actually come back to take all the Christians away would give far more confirmation than an invisible ghost ever could.

if you believe the bible, of course.

This is why I'm still of the belief that John was just going insane at the end of his time isolated from the world. Revelations just seems to make no sense in the overall context.

Still a cool story though.

It was my understanding that he was put on a deserted island by the Romans, for him to live the rest of his life there. The man eating something that messed up his mind isn't unreasonable in the least. Or simply him just losing it from isolation and being left to die.
