Bear with me as I build my thesis.
1. Since the first Star Trek we have been bombarded with the idea "Beaming-up" and teleportation. The image of a flash and your gone. This idea has been promulgated on many differant sci-fi shows.

2. The new age movement tells its adherents that mankind is ready to ascend into a new level of being. That those not ready (namely christians) will be left in the lower levels.

3. The UFO crowd and the new age crowd are so intertwined that they will have the same mine set.

4. Global warming/Environmentalists tell us that the world population needs to be drastically cut if we are to sustain life on this planet

My theory is that after the rapture, New Ager's channeling alien thoughts will explain that Christians were "beamed" to a planet far away for us to "learn to ascend" and to save the the environment. The "superior beings" left on earth will be so thankful and embrace the "ascended master" sent to show them the way. They will not sorrow over lost family members because they think they will see them again soon.

I just knew there was something fishy about Star Trek! It was produced by DesiLu, the company started by the Kabbalists Desi Arnez and Lucille Ball, and starred the Kabbalist Leonard Nimoy* and that Canadian pervert, William Shatner. It is widely known that Canada is populated entirely by Kabbalists. The first step in their nefarious plan was to spread the FICTION of teleportation and space flight. Many people since then have believed that science FICTION will some day be solid FACT. All the SciFi novels, programs, and CULTS can be traced back to those two nefarious Kabbalists, Alburt Einstein and Carl Segan! The world is IGNORANT but I will show it the DIVINE WORD of G@D!

I have family who are religiously conservative. I cannot agree with many of their views. Frequently, they don't agree with mine. They have also never lied to me, or treated me with anything other than respect.

I have a cousin who is gay. They gravely disapprove of his lifestyle choice, but they have also treated him with nothing less than respect.

They believe in the doctrine of Rapture. Their views on government are extremely conservative--minimal taxation, minimal involvement. They believe in the utter sanctity of human life--at all stages, from conception until death. They vigorously oppose capital punishment, which has put them at odds with other religious conservatives. They also believe in charity to a fault, and practice what they preach. They have never claimed to be anything other than human, with all of the faults, foibles and weakness of body and spirit that that entails.

I understand the doctrine of rapture to be mid-1800's tent revival hysteria. They have the right to their political and religious views, even if I cannot support many of them. I feel I am honored to know them.

In the event of their disappearance, I would be inclined to carefully re-evaluate my own stance. I do not believe that will happen, however. And I very seriously doubt that MinnesotaSlim here will be going before they do.

Go quick, then.

“1. Since the first Star Trek we have been bombarded with the idea "Beaming-up" and teleportation.”
Well before Star Trek, the idea of teleporting as a money-saving device appealed to many directors. Roddenberry just codified it.

“2. The new age movement tells its adherents that mankind is ready to ascend into a new level of being.”
Well, no. New Age just refers to an individualistic approach to woo. New Age Music is usually one performer who does the writing, the performing, all instruments, the singing (if there is any). A New Ager can pick and choose whatever works from anything he sees. I used to work with a guy who considered himself a Catholic Wizard.
He was a conscientious objector in charge of the department that programmed nuclear weapons for use in war. He had a unique approach to definitions and boundaries.

“3. The UFO crowd and the new age crowd are so intertwined that they will have the same mine set.”
No. I mean, SOME people have their feet in both worlds, Not all. You can’t really talk about either group as a cohesive movement.

“4. Global warming/Environmentalists tell us that the world population needs to be drastically cut if we are to sustain life on this planet”
Or at LEAST stop depending on fossil fuels…

“My theory is that after the rapture,”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

“New Ager's channeling alien thoughts will explain that Christians were "beamed" to a planet far away for us to "learn to ascend" and to save the the environment.”
Dude, if the Rapture picks up the True Christains, we won’t notice all five of them disappearing unless we’re on the floor above them and watch them go by.
And if we do know there was a rapture, all the self-important Christains will be explaining how come the libruls kept them on Earth…
And humans are such sore losers, they’ll be too busy rioting to actually take stock of the few taken up.
