Yeah, I saw that and I, too, went WTF. No, literally, a 2-D speech bubble sprouted above my head with WTF printed on it. Or maybe that was the medication.
Anyways, yeah, that was insane. And I mean... okay, I read the first Left Behind. And, while it was preachy and what not, it was a legitimate story prompt. Legitimate, and not blasphemous. The later books, however, felt very blasphemous to me.
And these are the evangelicals we're talking about here who are writing them. These are the sole Scriptura folks who only believe in the literal translation of the bible, and to see them playing fast and loose with their interpretations of what the post-Rapture world would be like based of off probably one of the older translations of the Book, it felt very much like they were trying to usurp the power of God.
And here we go again with this game. Mmmh. Heatheny.
and see, that's the thing. its so wrong. you can't know what's going to happen. you can't know when. we don't know shit. and this leads me to believe that tim lahaye and jerry jenkins are really not fundamentalists, but greedy, lying bastards who had a great (?) for a multi-million dollar empire, and are taking advantage of the fear in america spread by the religious right.
