As an atheist who was raised Christian I'm torn.

On one hand, God dies not take kindly to charlatans and blowhards. On the other hand, I am of the belief that this life is all there is and shitty people like her are statistically unlikely to get some cosmic comeuppance after death

Right, that's the thing they don't get. Might surprise them to learn, I almost wish their beliefs were true, so that they might taste that eternal fire they wish on others for their own shitty actions and thoughts

As an atheist, I wish we could have a rapture so the rest of us could get on with our lives

Depends. Do the people they think are saved go, or is it people who actually follow Jesus' teachings? The former would be great, but the latter would mean losing some good people.

Sam here all around, it's unfortunate that she won't get punished for being a huge POS. She's just going to live life convinced she's some oppressed and just individual.

I thought God was perfect and loved all.his children equally.

Going by what happens in this life, God seems to reward shitty people.

Idk man the Bible has God hating a lot of people. Sometimes individuals, sometimes groups.
