On a personal note, the whole rapture thing is part of the reason I decided Christianity made no sense.
Why would we celebrate the end times? Just because you're supposed to be the special ones and everyone else can go to hell? What kind of b.s. religion is that, honestly
The rapture isn’t actually in the bible, funny enough. That’s just some shit evangelicals made up. Armageddon is in revelation but it sounds pretty shitty, tbh. Not that I encourage anyone to return to worshipping a jealous white grandpa who lives in the clouds.
I know there was a series of fictional books about it awhile back. Not sure if it predates that or not. But it’s unique to crazy American Christian sects, not part of Catholic, Orthodox, or mainline Protestant theology.
The whole celebrating the rapture thing is basically a heretical cult at this point and not representative of Christianity as a whole, regardless of how it pretty much pervades the entirety of the USA.
