Note to ignorant fundie: the United States is not the world. The United States is a country in the world, and was the only country in the world to cease all flights.
Wait, is sracer trying to insult pilots? Either way, if the mythical "Rapture" had occured, wouldn't the terrorists have still been on the planes? Shouldn't that have just made their jobs easier?
A few thoughts...
How many bombs would have fallen from the planes of the Germans if the rapture has come in London in II World War?, same stupid logic. Besides, there could have been as many planes as you like, because remember that the terrorist were muslims and, according to statistics, only a tiny portion of the world population believes in rapture(0.0000001%). We´d be carrying on with our lives.
John stole my line. Yeah, the afternoon would have been a little late for the Rapture. (I imagine God waking up with a hangover and looking down, only to murmur, "Crap. What time is it?")
There's no retard like a Rapture Ready retard.TrueChristiansTM get raptured, only those flights with a crew comprised entirely of TrueChristiansTM would have a risk of falling.
Even then there is the possibility of someone on the plane who could successfully land the aircraft.
You fail.
Going by the fixation delight, even the rapture-obsessed have with images of pilots being whisked from planes, and drivers from cars, leaving chaos all around, I think he's saying that it would have been a bad thing that planes wouldn't have been falling out of the sky.
Does that mean the hijackers were Christian? WTF? all non-military aircraft were grounded . So, if the Rapture had occurred during that time period, no (commercial) planes would have become pilotless, because they would have all been sitting on the ground.
Just because his argument is stupid doesn't give you an excuse not to understand it. :-P
Actually, the answer is: All of them.
Even though the USA is the only place that stopped flights, there is good reason to believe that had the rapture taken place there would have been no planes wrecked.
Why? Because the concentration of real bible believing christians is low in other countries - that's why the USA is the best. In other countries, its doubtful that one pilot might be raptured, but certainly both wouldn't.
Remember, only bible believing christians are going to be taken in the first rapture. The rest of you will be tributalion saints, and we'll know who you are in heaven because you'll be the ones without heads.
So... all pilots are sinful? Or, the Rapture is a big hoax? I'm lost here.
All commercial flights in the US were grounded that afternoon and for the next few days. The only planes in the air were military jets and Air Force One.
Hmmm...
Well, considering that the only planes flying over the U.S. on the afternoon of 9/11/01 were USAF fighters and Air Force One, it seems that sracer considers the extreme proselytizing at the Air Force Academy to be a waste of time....
Right because the ban on air flights was worldwide, since the US is the world.
OH WAIT YOU'RE A PROVINCIAL MORON, NEVERMIND.
It's hard to believe that one little line can say so much crap it's mind boggling. So what exactly is this moron trying to say? That the terrorists would have been taken in the rapture? That no one on the planes would have been taken? That he understands the planes flew in the morning, and is proud of being chronologically unchallenged? Or that he finally realizes that the rapture is just fantasy bull crap?
Edit. Totally ignorant of what a rapture is supposed to entail. Plus have forgotten, or never new, that all planes in the US was grounded after the attack. I'm one of the few* who don't live in the US...
*according to these people
