I specifically told you I don't want to go into specific detail. I disagree with the entire premise of the books. Shall I also argue about how much cinnamon to add in a recipe for cyanide cupcakes?
Beginning with the ridiculous depiction of the sudden, silent disappearance rapture in the first book of the series the story just gets sillier from there......
Show me anything in the book that resembles this passage:
1 Thessalonians 4:16,17
"The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

The books don't go into the spiritual mechanics of the Rapture. It takes the EVENT of the Rapture (which will be invisible to those "Left Behind") and starts the story there.
But again, you can't go into the specifics because YOU HAVE NO specific disagreements with the books. (Or else wild horses couldn't stop you from telling me them).
It appears to me that you are just wildly HOPING that the events depicted in the books don't happen (Rapture - Tribulation - Armegeddon) because in some way you FEAR them.
