Prophecy of the future of the saved and the damned, or a made up nonsense that's attractive to lazy people who want to be lazy? You can't claim to be good while standing down to evil, and belief in the Rapture causes people to do just that.
The Rapture is a modern interpretation of the book of Revelation that has never been the accepted understanding in church history until the 1800s. The moral of the story of the Rapture is "Stand down, because you're already saved".
