I must recommend this to my Rapture-Ready relatives who rarely see the humor in anything, as they anxiously await the moment they are whisked away. I can't stop laughing, and as a former Rapture-Ready type, I now realize--I'd much rather be on the LB list.

It's hilarious! It's a comedy and not a religious right wing propaganda film.

A genuine Rapture-touting preacher, in answering his own question about who are the sinners who will be left behind to tribulations on Earth, might well include gays, Hollywood, etc. The football reference, however, is not plausible.

But the "Reverend" was a joke: Musicians? ALL of Hollywood? Did you notice they were advertising a "Rapture Ready Pet Home" on his show? I'm not sure I'd want to go without mine!

... I'm not sure why. Must be bored. It was mildly entertaining.

The opening credits reminded me of Family Guy...
