"...Well, to a lesser degree, folks who believe in the Rapture are a mite embarrassing for those of us who figure the point is to live the way we should rather than hankering for an End Of Days with longing and a perverse glee in the anticipation of the punishment of sinners. John can get away with ‘come soon Lord Jesus’, anyone else is being an immature pain in the butt and should spend their time, thought and treasure caring for the poor, the sick and those in prison rather than lustfully anticipating *anyone* being punished, speculating about the Antichrist and bickering over pre trib vs post trib..." That is one of the most thoughtful statements I have read in awhile. It is refreshing to know that folks who think like you exist. Sad, however, that I don't see that many in my daily life. Maybe that is more a statement about me, though! Thanks for the reply.
