Absolutely spot on John. I was at a music event 
at a coffeehouse Saturday night and though it 
wasn't a focal point of much, what was said was 
very much in jest about rapture and etc. While it 
does get folks talking, I tend to think it 
de-sensitizes the severity and realism of the end 
times to come not to mention the truth of God's 
word and what it is to be a believer. . One 
almost does not want to call themselves a 
"Christian" anymore, not because of shame, but 
because of being wrongly pegged as  a fraud. 
These sort of prophetic calculations are akin to 
reading the letter of the law and not the intent 
of the law. That is we are to stand at the watch 
towers with hand shading the brow looking on the 
horizon for the signs of the times, not being 
bent over  our desk in front of a  calculator.
