It's not a "scare tactic used by the church." If one believes in God, and s/he believes the the Bible is God's Word, the church is just reminding him ore her what he has said. Now, everyone, in this country, has a choice as to whether to believe in God, and whether to believe that the Bible is His Word.   ;)

They have movies and songs that you have to be ready for the rapture.  This is done to cause people to be fearful and listen to the preacher. Here is a song they use:

They use this scripture:
Matthew chapters 24 25,

I know some folks here can't walk away from religious pukes, but c'mon.. Are you high?

Sure it helps, especially when people don't look alike, and are separated by class.

Left has its scare tactics too.

So, what's the material difference between a rapture and judgment day?

If you don't believe in judgment, then it doesn't matter. If you do believe in judgment, then it doesn't matter when it happens.

Really?

Here is all you need to know about climate change.  

1) CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing.

2) Increased CO2 creates a warmer atmosphere.

So which of these two facts do you dispute?

In an isolated system, you can show that CO2 has a warming effect. However, extrapolating that to the earth is a different question. Kind of like extrapolating micro evolution to macro evolution.

If the scientists had any idea how increased CO2 would affect the earth, don't you think they would be able to predict the current lack of warming over the past 17 years?

Global warming advocates like to claim the melting of the ice at the south pole as evidence of global warming. Well, guess what? A geothermal heat under the south pole is causing the ice melt.

"In an isolated system, you can show that CO2 has a warming effect. However, extrapolating that to the earth is a different question. Kind of like extrapolating micro evolution to macro evolution."

Wow. You do know that there is no such thing as micro and macro evolution, right? It's all evolution. No one who understands the science of evolution distinguishes between the two. That's because there is no difference.  

Increased CO2 in the atmosphere has a very simple and predictable result. You get climate change. What you're confused about is that the weather is quite dynamic.

on human civilization is indeed speculative and relies on creating fear to sell the argument.
It is also a one-sided equation, as those who promote the cause with Chicken Little hysteria and want drastic measures taken quite frankly could not care less about the very real, measurable, immediate real-world economic impacts of the draconian policies they want to see put in place.  Honest analysis would at least instead acknowledge we don't really know what exactly the impact will be, rather than selling the most dire of predictions as fact to maximize fear.
