The Rapture. The left behind series. Lol.

At least none of the protestant Churches believe the Da Vinci Code nonsense, gotta give them that at least.

Unless I'm missing something here.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. I had lots o' people around me thinking the book revealed true things about the Catholic Church, unfortunately. I tried to explain as best I could, so I can only hope they ended up seeing it for what it was: fiction.

Has anyone tried reading the Left Behind Series. Besides being so laughable, they are the worst written books every published. Like they were written to an audience of six year olds. Ooops. Maybe they were. No offense.

I love this:

How Old Is Your Church?
If you are a Lutheran, your religion was founded by Martin Luther, an ex- monk of the Catholic Church, in the year 1517.

If you belong to the Church of England, your religion was founded by King Henry VIII in the year 1534 because the Pope would not grant him a divorce with the right to remarry.

If you are a Presbyterian, your religion was founded by John Knox in Scotland in the year 1560.

If you are a Protestant Episcopalian, your religion was an offshoot of the Church of England founded by Samuel Seabury in the American colonies in the 17th century.

If you are a Congregationalist, your religion was originated by Robert Brown in Holland in 1582.

If you are a Methodist, your religion was launched by John and Charles Wesley in England in 1744.

If you are a Unitarian, Theophilus Lindley founded your church in London in 1774.

If you are a Mormon (Latter Day Saints), Joseph Smith started your religion in Palmyra, N.Y., in 1829.

If you are a Baptist, you owe the tenets of your religion to John Smyth, who launched it in Amsterdam in 1605.

If you are of the Dutch Reformed church, you recognize Michaelis Jones as founder, because he originated your religion in New York in 1628.

If you worship with the Salvation Army, your sect began with William Booth in London in 1865.

If you are a Christian Scientist, you look to 1879 as the year in which your religion was born and to Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy as its founder.

If you belong to one of the religious organizations known as 'Church of the Nazarene," "Pentecostal Gospel." "Holiness Church," "Pilgrim Holiness Church," "Jehovah's Witnesses," your religion is one of the hundreds of new sects founded by men within the past century.

If you are Catholic, you know that your religion was founded in the year 33 by Jesus Christ the Son of God, and it is still the same Church.

Yes, but not the whole set of them. I don't understand how they sold so many of them.

I think the only thing worse than the Left Behind Series was a movie called "The Omega Code" starring Casper van Dean (from Starship Troopers) and Michael York (Basil Exposition from Austin Powers). It has it all...shoddy theology...hole-ridden plot...sub-par acting...its Terrible!

You mean it wasn't as much a rip off of the Da Vinci Code as 10 Million BC was a rip off of 10 thousand BC and other clone movies?

Both movies had crappy acting but the Omega Code had better action scenes in it at the end to me. I enjoyed the ending though.

Megiddo II was corny in many ways, and even the military action was unrealistic, illogical, and corny... yet cool at the sametime.

None taken. The last book in the series is downright offensive, not just to Catholics, but to nonbelievers as well...
