3. I'm not responding yet, because a serious discussion...
...would take more time than I currently have.

I would like to make one comment, though -- the currently popular "end times" stuff being touted in the US is really an aberration from historical Christian understanding. The "rapturist" movement is around 100 years old and owes its existence to (a) the Scofield reference Bible and (b) Dallas Theological Seminary.

Google "Scofield" "Dallas Theological Seminary" and "Rapture" for details. Your first hit has a bit a Masonry thrown in, but there's some other interesting stuff.
