MagicPriest you certainly seem to think you have this whole thing worked out. But for my money I don't think it's all that simple. And yes I have read the Bible several times. Have you read any Imanuel Velikovsky (regarding Niburu and apocalyptic events?) . I think you might find that a large number of people here are anything but stupid. Make sure you're on the board in '07 so we can all 'I-told-you-so' together.
The 'rapture' is only one of many debated elements of the Bible. There are nearly 100 different major Christian denominations and thousands of lesser ones. Whose interpretation is correct? And what about all the other religions in the world? Isn't it arrogant to believe that only one Western Religion happens to have the true Word of God in it? Or did God just not bother to provide equally accurate information to everyone else?
Nope, personally I don't buy it. I believe there is truth in there but it has been so processed, edited, lost, manipulated and combined with cultural myth over the generations that it has been largely obscured. But I believe there is truth in there. I believe there is truth in most all of the major religions because the source is One and the Same.
Just MHO.

Words are only vessels created for the transportation of the minds native language, Thoughts. We created language to describe our thoughts at length, people just don't take the time to do so in depth. God has no need for words, because he instills his thoughts within you. We are taught the meanings to words, and we hold no other value toward them than what we are taught. When the word could mean much more to the speaker. I'm about to use words that usually come with very stereo typical visualizations. But hopefully, you can open your mind to the idea of the word, rather than the definition.

Plus, who is out Anti-christ.... Bush? I would hardly think so. He's a little too zoned out to be one. I remember in the Left Behind series that they described the Anti-Christ as cunning, and he was liked by everyone it seemed. He also came AFTER the Rapture, didn't he? I know, I'm using Fiction as grounds for arguement, and it really isn't credible.
