In my random web wanderings last night I happened upon the website for the Left Behind books. You know the ones: millennial fear-mongering gussied up to resemble a Tom Clancy-ish potboiler. Not long ago I actually bought into all this, and the private high-school which I attended was... well, strange. Now, it just seems all so hilarious. Call that backsliding or enlightenment, whatever you want, but I stand by it. But you have to admit: The hallucinogenic ravings of the Apostle John may make bad trash fiction, but it's better than claiming it's literally true.
P.S. For some interesting reading, try Religious Tolerance.
