I visited the Dread Lord's site today and the subject was on political/theological cartoons et al. This one genius had seen the perfect bumper sticker:

That reminds me of the semi-pelagian narrower catechism:
39. Q: What is the name of the event by which Christians will escape these dreadful entities?
A: The event commonly known as the Rapture, in the which it is our Blessed Hope that all cars driven by Christians will suddenly have no drivers.

I read the first Left Behind book and the effects of the Rapture on machines (cars, buses, planes, etc. careening out of control) was a big, big theme of the book. I read allot and no book I have read has used the word "careen" as much as that one book.

Ah, so the rapture caused indecency and disorder?

In the event of Rapture, would a dipsy airline pilot be guilty of voluntary man slaughter?

Except the Dispensational argument would be that the children are innocent and taken in the rapture as well. Even the Calvinist Dispensational's would say that the elect children would at least be taken.
You guys are Rapture geeks.
This thread reminded me of something from my youth. I was about 10 years old and spent the night at my best friend's house - he was a black kid at my school. I was a Roman Catholic kid from a very Irish Roman Catholic family. We went to his Church that night and watched some sort of movie that I've later figured out was about the Rapture.
I remember a bunch of abandoned cars on the freeway and pans frying on the stove. I also remember a Priest crying: "I was so wrong!"
I just remember thinking the movie was kind of dumb and it didn't make me think, at the time that I ought to switch religions.
Anyhow, I vividly remember how enthusiastic the Black people were as my first experience in a Black Baptist Church. We were just very subdued in Roman Catholic Church. The Church my friend attended was anything but that. At one point during the film, the projector suddenly stopped and the preacher cried out: "Praise the Lord! Somebody pulled out the plug." I told my brothers about that later and we all laughed.
