No. I'll be long dead.

We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')
Re: Will you burn at the 2nd Coming?
It depends. If the 2nd coming is simply first contact, I doubt it. I really don't see the point of burning up a civilization you are interested in contacting. Now if they want to take us out, dropping a big enough rock on us should do the trick.

We'll know the real Jesus from these fakes because he will be wielding a flame thrower.

Will you Gnarfle the Garthok?
Yes or no?
My question makes exactly as much sense as that posed in the OP, and we even know what a Garthok looks like - so there's that.

Some people get offended when you laugh at their theology. I find rapture movies hilarious. Especially those ones that have little vignettes where The Atheist or The Jew or The Intellectual fall to their knees and confess that Jeebus is the Cripes.

Re: Will you burn at the 2nd Coming?
What does it say about a belief system whose adherents believe non-believers will suffer this kind of fate at the hands of their deity.
MetalSlasher,
Do you believe in a God who would do such a thing?
Yes or No?

"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."
Re: Will you burn at the 2nd Coming?
I believe in the hereafter and life after death. That how you live now will affect where you/me/we spend eternity.
As for Second Coming, that's hearsay.
The hereafter is as real as our gaseous spirit matter bodies are - where our spirits will be sent to will depend on our lives here and now.
Our spirits took up residence in these mortal shells we call our bodies. Where we go after we die just picture that our souls will take up residence wherever or whatever we are called to be in our new homes.
We will carry the conscious energy we take with us when we die to the next realm.
Judgment is just something we will experience in the transition from death to the next world. The second coming is a euphemism for life after life.
For those who deserve to go to hell, well they didn't pass go, and did not get the "get out of jail free" card because they took the wrong turn.
Hopefully we won't see each other in hell but in paradise, on that great and terrible day.
