I'll try to stay more on topic this time. Sorry about that. I guess I saw the 'diary'part and took some liberty.
Anyway, as I meant to say in my previous post before I went off on a tangent; I've gone as far away from orthodox christianity as is possible. I love the God of the Bible but not of the churches.

Therefore, I despise what the christian church, historically, as a whole, has done in history and recently. ( I leave out the relatively small number of sincere, pacifist christians). So here's something to bring up to evangelicals when they start on the rapture/7 year tribulation.

Say something like this: "I've been reflecting on this whole 7 year tribulation/secret rapture/antichrist superman Armeggedon end - times scenario that has so enamored the american evangelical church. The whole premise rests on tearing out the 70th week of Daniel 9:27 and putting it somewhere at the end of time. You know, justification for doing this is totally lacking. The attempts to do so are very weak. It destroys other time prophecies to rip this last week out. The whole 70 weeks was fulfilled in the past; therefore there is no rapture, and no 7 year tribulation, and Kirk Cameron owes a lot of people a refund."

I guarantee if you say this, the average christian won't know how to answer this very easy scriptural observation. I know that if anyone does read this, they may not want to use scripture; but with these christians, that's all they listen to.

Again, I apoligize for my other post -- maybe for this one too!

Sincerely,
Mark T.
