I remember when I heard first about the rapture from a TV-evangelist five or six years ago. I immediately thought it was some kind of a joke having never seen anything in the Bible referring to anything like what he described. However, the believe in the rapture is real, and some incorrectly think that believing in a hateful God, that is out to destroy all Creation has something to do with Christianity.
American Dispensationalism’s Perpetually Imminent End Times* by Jonathan R. Baer is a good article that addresses this hateful religion.
