There are a lot of mysteries here that need to be answered. The biggest one is why does Nicolas Cage continue to get starring roles in movies?

[Alex Murphy]

"Left Behind" comes out this week, an apocalyptic thriller starring Nicolas Cage. Based on the best-selling book series, the movie revolves around "the rapture": a belief that one day all Christians will suddenly vanish, disappearing from the earth to go be with God, while the world they "left behind" plunges into apocalyptic destruction. Americans may find "Left Behind" to be best-selling entertainment, but is it biblical? I say no. In fact, as a follower of Jesus I find the rapture to be not just a little bit off, but actually upside-down and backwards. When Jesus comes, here are a few reasons why I want to be left behind.

Does that mean you'll be available to feed my dog?

The dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

The author re-interprets 'meeting the lord in the air' but conveniently ignores the "caught up" part of the pssages. Modernists are slowing eliminating aspects of the ressurrection until they can bury it entirely.

No actor has ever portrayed pure confusion better than Nicolas Cage - just look at him, he’s bewilderment personified in that poster. When you see Nicolas Cage on a movie poster, you know you’re in for an exciting mystery even if that isn’t the movie’s intent - first because neither Cage nor his character seem to know what’s going on and second because the sounds that come out of his mouth have only a nodding relationship with English or any other known human language.
