where the hell did you dig up this fantasy? Any links to any Christian sites that can back this up? I believe they were talking about that time too, but of all the Christians I've known and I've known a lot living in Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, none of them believed Revelations was not a book for our end times.
No matter what you've read on the Internet or what your Christian buddies have told you, it does not follow that what I said is fantasy or that I dug it up.

I grew up in a Christian home and have attended church all my life, many different churches from many different Christian denominations in different parts of the US and Venezuela. My father attended seminary and earned masters degrees in Divinity and in Theology, and earned a PHD in Theology.
Go to any Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Methodist church or seminary and ask the preacher or other leaders of the church or seminary professors. You'll see that most of them don't believe that The Mark of the Beast will happen because the end time events described in the book of Daniel, Mathew 24 and Revelations already happened in the first and second centuries, except for the return of Jesus Christ.
Now go to any Baptist or Pentecostal, or even non-denominational church and you'll meet more people who believe that The Rapture, The Beast and his Mark and a The Great Tribulation are coming soon, though even they disagree on the order of these events.
Google the various Christian eschatological systems.
