well, the whole rapture thing is a bit hazy – _all_ of the “end-times” stuff is hazy. IMO, that’s the whole point! The Bible says _specifically_ that we won’t know the day or hour, and pretty much everything else about the end of the world as we know it is allegory – and allegory can be interpreted in a million different ways, which is why there’s all sorts of in-fighting about how it’s going to happen. I’m a Christian and all, but I don’t waste my time worrying about how it’s going to end. I figure that the Bible purposely leaves it vague, and that there won’t be anything I can do to change however God decides to do it, so why bother? I’ll either be here and see it happen, or I won’t. I don’t feel the need to have a theory. I pretty much feel the same way about the whole evolution/creation thing: look, I’m here now, and how I got here is pretty much immaterial. All that matters is how I live my life, not if I have the “right” theory about how this or that happened/will happen.
