Right today I was watching the CBC covering the phenomenon of "The Rapture" in the US... basically trying to understand:
1) what it is exactly
2) why US Christian Fundamentalists are so enraptured with it (sorry I had to make the pun)
3) what the niche "Rapture" entertainment industry is pumping out ("Left Behind").
What I was wondering is how many of y'all believe in the rapture? and why?
Why is it more of a American phenomenon, than say in other "Christian" countries (or ones with significant Christian populations).
PS> The program even had a link to a "Rapture watch/news site"
