The other thing is, it's going to be a lot easier to be Raptured if you're *outside* the car, so maybe you really ought to pull over into the shoulder before you go. This will lead to some cars abandoned in the shoulder, but it's a heck of a lot better than the car being abandoned going around 100 kph on a freeway....
I think that those who believe in this happening are of the opinion that no one will have any warning before they find themselves flying up into the sky. (Neither will those who do *not* find themselves flying up into the sky.)
