If God made everything, you could say everything could only be made out of God, right?

Again, you are missing the point, and I'm sorry that I insulted you by pointing it out.
If the Christians are gone, taken up by some sort of Rapture, IT MEANS THAT THEY ARE RIGHT. Which means that you will suffer seven years of "hell on Earth", concluded by a war to end all wars, followed by judgement by Christ, followed by eternal damnation. What part of that sounds like it's a good trade for not having to listen to evangelicals preach at you?

I suspect we create our own reality. If the rapture is "true" and all the God-loving/fearing Christians disappear, abandon their cars (bumper sticker), etc., then they will be gone. I don't think anything is going to happen to me. I don't believe that crap.
I do hope when they abandon their cars that they will keep the keys in the ignition. I could use an upgrade.

Fair enough. Can you elaborate on that "we create our own reality" part for me? I had a discussion with someone else who felt that way (in her case, we all create our own afterlife,) but once we got to a certain point, it kind of fell apart because of the number of branches.
If the Christians all disappear, but nothing else Rapture-wise, religion-wise goes on, where do you think they'll all go? Are you a proponent of affirmations and the multiple universe theory that backs it? That if you want the Christians to go away hard enough, you'll find yourself in a universe where they do go away without any of the rest of the bad stuff?

Awesome video, OT, thank you for sharing that.
"The Passion of the Christ" was an amazingly powerful movie, and Lockridge's raging is a perfect compliment to the visual display.

Y'all keep insisting you have a point. You think you have an air-tight logical case and that everyone else has to march lock step into your trap. It is a good trade because what's true for an evangelical Christian is not true for me. ....

Yeah, makes sense to me too...

Actually I don't drink at all but if the Rapture and Jesus and all that turned out to be real, I might have to start

You guys need to go back to water. Nothing beats good purified H2O. Make you feel like you clean your entire body inside and out.
