I have fantasized for a while now (over a decade) about fabricating a rapture, reporting and evidence enough to convince those who believe in raptures.

Why? I suspect any Christian expecting to be raptured would have their attitude improved by facing the notion they don't actually qualify for God's elite club and eventually coming to terms with this reality.

Either they'd strive to do better, or they'd join the rest of us renegades.

Of course, for me, my journey towards naturalism was most terrifying coming to terms not just with mortality but with the insignificance of my species (which is already careening towards our great filter). These are the revelations that religions try to allow their followers to avoid. Tens of thousands of sects all claiming to be God's true chosen.
