I think it's too broad to say "the Christians of today." I've corresponded with living Christians (Acrobat being one of them) who are comfortable with non-literal readings. Maybe "the majority of Christians of today" would be accurate, but I don't care about the majority if what they're thinking happens to be silly.
I don't think that the popularity of an idea necessarily makes it more likely to be true or interesting. I've said this several times before.
So your view is that what the majority of Christians have it wrong?
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
