Actually I was thinking more about a disruption in the food supply and how large populations would adapt. I believe that the supermarket shelves would empty quick and then it might end up as a strongest wins competition. It is hard to say how it would go down. There is a chance that some form of government could keep everything under control. When you look at the divide in our Country without a war I just feel that things could get bad real fast. In rural areas there is a chance some areas might be overlooked by large populations salvaging and scrounging for anything they can get their hands on. And rural, besides having some food in nature, could grow food.

I think of it like I think of our Earth right now. We have all of our eggs in one basket. If that large asteroid hits now; humanity would be wiped off the face of the Earth. However, if we had colonies on the moon or Mars, they could recolonize the Earth in future generations. Of course one never knows. A solar flare could wipe out the Earth and the Moon and Mars colonies! The same might be true of thinking we are better off spread out.

Zombies, yes. Rapture, no. God can find you even in the lowest levels of the New York subway system in the dark. That's why he's God.

(If you're thinking no one can find you there, you're probably an atheist)

Nonsense! The human soul cannot pass through New York City's bedrock.

This is why people should build sprawling, segregated suburbs to make it easier for God to do the Rapture. Just one snap of his finger and he can easily pick all those white, middle/upper-class Christians who live together in the (preferably gated) suburbs to his fold without going through each one individually to assess if one is a John Smith or a Chung Li or, god forbid, a Faisal Mahmood. That will take a lot of his time. Let's make this easy for God. Let's segregate ourselves into low-density suburbs!
