    Have you ever voted? If you look at a presidential ballot, there a ton of people to vote for. It was around 12 last I remember, Anywhere from republican and Democrat to the Communist Party to the Prohibition Party. There are plenty of choices but they aren't very organized. That and you have party voters. I know plenty of people who will vote straight ticket no matter who the candidate it, Republican and Democrat.

    No, christians won't believe that it is the rapture of the church because christians believe that the person will disappear during the rapture, that includes the body. They don't believe that the body dies and the soul leaves.

    Most likely they will think it's a punishment of some sort by God.
