Are you a pretribulationist?

If so, that should solve your problem, right?

This is actually a good question, not sure if it was meant a a mock.

Before the tribulation(when the anti-Christ reaches agreement with Israel) there is a set-up time, such as things that seem to be happening. Times can get really hard before that period, socialism has reeked havoc on innocent people throughout time, so in that regard a lot of people will suffer and likely die before that time begins, and before the rapture that you allude to.

Also, it’s naive to think Christians only worry about their own arse. Fighting an evil system, doesn’t assume we hate the innocent folks the evil people will harm.
