Oh, give us a break from the rhetoric nonsense. The Constantine bunch ran around picking out books that Humans/Men said was insprired text, so this is a pure human invention by the political church. They rounded up 66 and left off one of the most important, The Book of Enoch, that would exlain god in better detail.
All the Bible narratives are the words of humans, most of whom long ago forgot the roots of the stories for god were rooted in the issues of the creator gods of Sumeria. One god was pretty much a slaver, Enlil. The next the father of Adam and Eve via genetic tampering with human breeding, Enki. and the only original concept for god tossed in for the intelligent design of the universe confused with these two gods due to primitive understanding.
No intelligent person would get into this god theme derived from these intelligent beings being anything more than just intelligent of various sciences so they looked like gods to these primitive people.
The Bible's words, all of them, are the words of humans. And some of those words were forged, and corrupts the issues of Jesus.
So, your little game is just balogna.

I am glad you admit god is nothing more than a word. A word of human convention and invention.
Nothing more.

Topic WW3 / Rapture/Caught UP...
"The rapture is when Christ descends from heaven calls all of those who have already died in the Lord to heaven with him in new resurrected bodies and then we join them in the air for this great time of reunion Taken from the message "Ready or Not" from the Ready or Not Series by Pastor Greg Laurie."

Harry Potter and the Rapture of the Saints
I’m not sure you can describe the Left Behind series as weird when you realize that the Bible says that the rapture is going to happen and while the Harry Potter books are totally made up. The Harry Potter books also demonstrate how “modern” man has taken the parts of Christianity that they want and have left the rest out. For example, a prominent part of each of the Harry Potter books is the Christmas break. They have a Christmas tree and exchange presents and so forth. Does the fact that Harry is celebrating Christmas mean that he is a Christian? NO!! Does going to church make you a Christian? NO!!, Does joining some denomination make you a Christian? NO!! (By the way, have you ever stopped for a minute and consider why we have Christmas in the first place?) To become a Christian and go to Heaven you have to admit to Jesus that you are a sinner, turn away from your sins (repent), and ask Jesus to forgive you and come into your heart. The Bible says
---------
If you would stop and think a minute, after the Rapture occurs and after Christians are given their resurrection bodies, they will have many of the abilities people are trying to get through the witchcraft shortcut. They won’t hunger or thirst, or experience pain. They can move from place to place instantaneously like Jesus, and like Jesus, walk through walls. The Bible tells us:

No Wizard Left Behind
Harry Potter and Left Behind are more alike than you might think.
The little similarities go on. Both books present the media as corrupt or easily corruptible. The Left Behind tribulation takes seven years; so does Hogwarts'. Carpathia takes the form of a snake; Voldemort takes the form of a lizard, and Harry is able to tap into the evil world by speaking snake (parseltongue). And in both, the good guys bear a special "mark"—on their foreheads!—that protects them.
Finally, they both have a theology. It's not, as one might expect, that Left Behind is Christian and Harry Potter pagan, but rather that Left Behind is Protestant and Harry Potter is Catholic. One of the chief theological arguments between Catholics and Protestants has been over whether salvation is earned through faith or by good works. In Left Behind, the only thing that matters is faith in Jesus. Steele explains that church leaders had led so many people astray because they merely "expected them to lead a good life, to do the best they could, to think of others, to be kind, to live in peace. It sounded so good, and yet it was so wrong. How far from the mark!"

Don't fall for satan's deceptions...Genesis 3:1
Well, it appears the Harry Potter themes do have great analogy with many religious themes, even the one for rapture. The problem is either you don't get out much, or can only read one book and not enjoy some of the other top selling books in the world today.
What you really might hate is that when folks compare these to your trivia, it overturns your little soapbox pulpit.

These are both quite on topic and make excellent refutations for like fictional works.
We are in the last stages of the preparation to so globalize the world that the Masonic New Age Christ (Antichrist) can appear to receive all the political and economic power of the world's rulers. This is the Illuminati plan and Biblical prophecy (Revelation 17:12-17).
In the words of Peter Lemesurier, author of The Armageddon Script:
"Their script is now written, subject only to last-minute editing and stage-directions. The stage itself, albeit in darkness, is almost ready. Down in the pit, the subterranean orchestra is already tuning up. The last-minute, walk-on parts are even now being filled. Most of the main actors, one suspects, have already taken up their roles. Soon it will be time for them to come on stage, ready for the curtain to rise. The time for action will have come."
Ladies and Gentlemen, please take your seats and welcome on stage the players of this Grand Play:

Israel angered over IAEA vote on nuclear arsenal
Israel has become infuriated by a fresh initiative of Arab member states of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) which seeks to launch a global campaign to slam Israel’s possession of nuclear stockpile.
The motion tabled by 17 Arab IAEA members has been submitted to a preparatory commission to be put to vote at the Agency’s September meeting which is to be attended by 154 countries, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday.
The initiative is widely expected to be ratified, as it enjoys the support of Muslim countries as well as other states critical of Israel’s stance on Palestine, the report said.
Israel’s Ambassador to the IAEA Ehud Azoulay, has censured the initiative, saying the Arab nations have no moral right to point fingers.

And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. Zechariah 12:3
The Lord even went beyond that by saying He would return "as a thief" when believers generally won't be expecting Him to come for them.
