   Credence?  No.  More time discussing it than it deserves?  Arguable in   
   any case.   
      
   The whole Rapture thing is non-scriptural in the first place.   
      
   But the RRR types do so like to go on about it, mostly as a means of   
   suggesting to the non-RRR types that they should be afraid of   
   something.   
      
   But it's all just part of the game.

   When/If the Rapture comes, the only huge problem will be a short-term   
   traffic jam, so the bumper stickers suggest.   
      
   Otherwise, it'll rid the world of a bunch of Holier-Than-Thou types,   
   for whom good riddance.

   Whatever works.   
      
   Meanwhile, there are some RRR types working feverishly to breed a   
   Perfect Red Calf, thereby to hasten the end times.   
      
   The funny thing about it a few years ago, they were looking for   
   investors.   
      
   Think that one through, when you had a spare minute or so.
