1. Do you believe in the Rapture?
No.
2. Why or why not?
The fact that it was invented less than 200 years ago. Or, because I don't believe in God.
3. If you answered yes to #1, are you a Pre-Tribulation(it'll happen before seven years of horrible stuff) or Mid-Tribulation (3.5 years in)?
N/A
4. Do you know who is credited with starting the modern Rapture movement?
No idea.
5. If you answered no to #1, do you believe in the Parousia of Christ (Second Coming)?
Nope. Besides, if he did come, no one would believe him.
6. The Left Behind series: a lot of truth mixed in with the fictional account or a lot of dangerous bunk that undermines Christianity?
No idea.
7. (Because I know some will want to say it anyways ): Is all of the above a bunch of hooey and not worth believing, whether it's Rapture stuff or Christianity in general?
Yes.
8. Those Rapture bumper stickers:
==> That one. a) I laugh when I read them, then shake my head in disbelief
9. Should the Apocalypse of John/Revelations be viewed literally or metaphorically?
Metaphorically.
Bah, I'll just stop at 9 and see what answers are given. I just hope that people can agree or disagree civilly, but is that asking for too much here?
I seldom fling children from towers to improve their health.
