Seems I'm the only one who took the movie this way.

At the end, the one guy says, 'They are attracted to faith' meaning the monsters (devils, demons, fallen angels, whatever) were killing those who believed and had faith in God. I saw this as anti religious, not as God saves everyone. Seems to me that faith is what is killing them so how can that be religious propaganda.

If I'm wrong please explain why, and I don't want a lecture on faith or god in the real the real world, I mean explain what IN THE MOVIE makes me wrong. I've told you what I feel makes me right.

Yeah, you didn't get it. Remember how the pastor said that the baby didn't die, but he had gotten to attain paradise instead? Same thing with the adults who die. Dying was a good thing, not a bad one.

Holy crap I'm an idiot. Yeah I see can see that now. Not sure how I missed it. Thanks for pointing it out!

Not especially. Are you trying to tell me the guy who was killed while professing hate for God was one of the lucky ones? If so there's no reason for anyone to run or hide.

Whether he loved or hated God, at that point he believed and therefore was "saved".

He was angry. He got it in the end.

I'm totally with you about this movie...the one guy asks the preacher if they start to believe can they be saved in the Rapture and the preacher says the Rapture is over. One by one, each character turns to God and dies a terrible death (the one guy who gets yanked by an octopus tentacle, the girl that gets hurled across the room, the guy who is baptized whose body basically explodes in mid-air, etc. The baby was born stillborn because it achieved Rapture as a totally innocent human.

People are dying throughout. Some have faith, others don't. It would be ridiculous to think they all end up the same.

So god abandoned every single human left on earth? I don't believe that for one second.

No, God will not abandon everyone that doesn't get Raptured. Why would he do that? The people who tell you that are the ones that want you to drink their koolaid. I believe that God is a god of inclusion, not exclusion. He wants us with him. He gave us intelligence and free will. Why would he punish us for using them

[–] tlw013-1 10 years ago

It's contradictory even if correct, pretty much shown by the guy getting killed while professing his hatred of God.

You can't hate something you don't believe in. And if you watch the part right before Dan gets sucked up into Heaven, he gets that, "Ohhhh, I get it." Then, swoosh, stab, and jerk, and he's gone. It's just a few moments of pain, then an eternity of joy. Like giving birth. Only without that horrible teen part.
