"So what would you think if two billion people vanished?"

[farla]

It seems "Rapture! OHSHIT!" really is the most common response to people vanishing. I was hoping other belief systems had some sort of fallback explanation. Also, for a spirited defense of the Alien option. I may need to repost the question to the religious forum. They might be a better source for x religion's thoughts on mass vanishings.

Off to answer emails and suchlike now.

What is the prerequisite for paradise on Earth? All the religious people vanishing.

But all members of religious groups other than rapture-believing Christians are still here and panicking, and most of the rapture-believing Christians are still here and panicking worse, and also people are converting left and right.

No happy humanist paradise for you!
