Left Behind.
So there's this shit I'm sure you've heard of,
called Left Behind. A "phenomenon,"
if you wish to debase that word. Books, movies,
action figures, lunch boxes, flavored contraceptives,
et cetera, et cetera.
As a rule, I am not a fan of Christian fundamentalists.
Though they are in many ways cosmically funny,
they are at the same time so self-assured and
so dangerous that I can't do anything but look
at them warily. My reaction ranges from mild amusement
to outright alarm.
Given this opinion, it must be pretty obvious
how I feel about Left Behind. There is something
singularly sickening about Christian fundamentalist
dogma disguised as "entertainment,"
passed off as something legitimate and worthy
of secular dollars. Writing is an art form, and
to allow it to be sullied by such badly-written
(and it is, it is) tripe is just short of.. well..
of blasphemy. Trés ironic, no?
I weep for the bestseller list.

Wondering how many times I can milk the "tight"
shoes bit until it no longer is amusing to
me.
