If I get Raptured, and my family doesn't, will life insurance pay out even though I am not actually dead?

what LordJiro said, though your family may have to go to court to get you declared legally dead since there may not be a body. That process will probably take several months.
How do you know the rapture didn't already happen and you got left behind?
HTH
Nope. Vanishing into thin air is not death, and they do not need to pay up. And, assuming that I am actually telling the truth, you're probably going to hear about a lot of people being individually "Raptured" in a little while. Hilarious what you can do with guillible unthinking meat-puppets...
@NoAstronomer: That never made sense to me. I mean, presumably all the people currently IN Heaven (if it exists) don't have a physical body, or at least not their original one. Why would Rapture-ees get special treatment?
Oh, I forgot, the whole Rapture idea is 'special treatment'. "We don't wanna go through Tribulation! Bawww!'
I'm pretty sure rapture isn't mentioned in your life insurance policy. Then again, for all I know, you went with Allstate.
Typically, things would be held as you would be presumed missing, and then after however many years your spouse or whoever could have a hearing to have you declared presumed dead, at which time your will, etc would be executed.
That is, of course, if you are talking about reality. O, nm, I see that you are not.

CRIPES! No one who is Raptured is going to get their Life Insurance to pay out! In the words of Tom Lehrer, "Lloyd's of London will be loaded when they go!"

Damned fine question. Perhaps you should call your insurance company and ask. Hopefully the employee taking the call with both play along and then sneak a copy of the recording out with them to post on the internet.
No, they won't. How dumb can one human being be? They don't pay out after suicide, because it was willful. If you're raptured, it's because you made the choice, thus, it's willful. Insurance companies don't distinguish between willful physical acts and willful stupidity/ignorance.
Its sad they actually spend time thinking about this.
Also, I thought that insurance didn't work for "acts of God."
@ libber:
That's what the insurance company told my aunt, when the tree fell over on her year-and-a-half old car.
In the church parking lot.
A body has to be present for a doctor to destermine cause of death on a death certificate, which much exist saying you no longer do before youre your life insurance is paid to your beneficiaries and your lifetime memberships expire (as you have.) No body, well, you're screwed. Since there is no rapture, you'll probably croak from heart disease or cancer, just like the rest of us.
"Where's Tom?"
"He, uh, got raptured away. Yeah, that's right. We need the life insurance. leiknow."
"Okay! I won't ask any questions. Here's all the cash."
Oh, no! You should have bought Rapture insurance, not life insurance! Here, let me sell you a policy ...
“If I get Raptured, and my family doesn't, will life insurance pay out even though I am not actually dead?”
In fact, those of your relatives that were in the grave are coming back to be raptured. They probably need to pay the insurance companies back.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
