"Rapture": Utter stupidity founded on nonsense
Rapture Letters claims that suddenly, soon, all the people who believe in (their flavor of) "god" will die and those who don't believe in their flavor of "god" will remain. The silly part is that many people are looking forward to being killed by their "god"!
It would be laughable but for the fact that 40% of the people in the USA have this delusion.
So the Rapture Letters web site is devoted to sending letters to the sane people who don't believe in god(s) after this supposed mass murder has occured. The example letter includes a magic incantation which if uttered by a survivor will supposedly cause them to die instantly too.
Could anything be more insane?

Hey, great stuff! Don't ever give up writing! The rapture is a lot of crapture! Lou
I just sent you a comment but failed to mention an internet item I recently ran across. Go to Yahoo etc. and type in "Pretrib Rapture Diehards" (while noting LaHaye's hypocrisy under the year "1992") to see some long-covered-up info re the 175-year-old history of the Religious Right's rapturescape which was imported from Britain in the late 1800s but which didn't captivate American evangelicalism until "Dr." Scofield's "Reference Bible" in 1909 (see his sordid biog. under the "1880s"!). The Religious Right will never lose its power until mainstream scholars decide to widely air the earliest 19th century documents of the rapture's earliest development which would give RR leaders a collective heart attack! BTW, anyone typing in "Dave MacPherson" on engines can see his other articles. Many scholars view him as the No. 1 expert on the rapture's bizarre history who has spent decades finding the earliest documents on both sides of the Atlantic. One of his biggest shocks was discovering massive plagiarism in the writings of many leading rapture promoters including Lindsey, Unger, Falwell, LaHaye, Van Impe etc. etc.! Louise
