So what's this mean in a nutshell? Well, that I think that the Left Behind "Christian" fiction type stuff is just that: fiction. Entirely. For information on where the whole idea of a "rapture" came from, read up on John Nelson Darby.

My position is that dispensationalism is a distraction at best ... when taken to extremes it can be a damaging, pseudo-christian mythology that gives non-Christians an excuse to dismiss our faith as some kind of sci-fi cult. Focus on the way you live your day to day life and look to Christ for guidance. The "end of the world" is in God's hands. It'll come "like a thief in the night," there's no point in thinking we can prepare for it or anticipate the details.

But then, I'm Catholic. That's what my church teaches, basically.

I don't intend to debate this issue in the comments, but I encourage anyone with a different point of view to post comments with links, references, etc, to explain their own beliefs. All beliefs are welcome here, and I don't presume to speak for all Christians in general, nor for all Catholics.
