I was going to mention the game in the Simpsons, but they did that in the article.

Scary when Simpsons stop being parody and start being real life.

I like what Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman said about the Rapture in Good Omens (paraphrased)where an angel points out to a Televangelical audience that God wasn't likely to scoop up some of the people for the sole purpose of looking down on the others, 'if that's your idea of a morally acceptable good time'.
