You know, I just had a really morbid thought. If I were to die and have my organs donated, what would happen to the people who received my organs when the Rapture happens? I mean if my body is reconstructed and glorified, to the parts vanish from the donee's body? I think I'll leave that situation to God (or not be a donor).

I still am amazed when people use this line of thinking to justify not donating organs. It's like saying something like, "Oh, I could give food to these starving children, but I'll leave the situation to God..."
Nah, helping others just requires too much self-sacrifice... wait... Jesus did give up his time on earth (granted, it was nothing compared to his infinite lifespan), but that's a lot more than what some fundies do these days.
We may laugh, but the fantastic poet John Donne spent years racking his brain over questions very like this. Obviously they didn't have organ transplants in those days, but he wrote page after page arguing what he thought happened to detached body parts after death and similar topics.

Hey man, this is God. I was reading up on evolution so sorry if this is a bit brief.
So not only are the cells in your body subject to this mysterious trick, but also the ones that *were* in your body - and I suppose the ones that *will be* in your body are subject to the same thing too - if we're taking the passage of time into account, why limit this to past only!
Yayyy! The skin cells you've shed and other junk the fundamentalists have lost over time (hair, nails etc) suddenly disappear and the entire ecosystem collapses in very subtle locations indeed!
Then the raw material that you were *about* to eat, in order to grow new cells, also disappears from the ecosystem! The collapse of the fertiliser industry rocks the post-Rapture world!
You can get a massive headache by coming up with these scenarios, I tell you - too bad people lack the imagination and can't understand that if the purported ideas sound stupid, maybe they *are*!
This sort of people should consider this thought very carefully: With every breath you take, you inhale several air molecules that also went through Hitler's lungs! Instant panic!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
