REMEMBER THE BUZZ ABOUT THE "LEFT BEHIND" SERIES?

I had forgotten how crazy those books were. I copied this snippet years ago:

"Jesus merely raised one hand a few inches, and a yawning chasm opened in the earth, stretching far and wide enough to swallow all of them. They tumbled in, howling and screeching, but their wailing was soon quashed, and all was silent when the earth closed itself again." Glorious Appearing, latest in the "Left Behind" series

It turns out that LaHaye is just as crazy as his fiction and as crazy as Glenda Beck: (h/t Chip Berlet at Talk2Action)

"Europe, once the center of evangelical Christianity, Bible translation and distribution, and even revival, has bought into the philosophy of secular humanism. That philosophy is based on atheism, evolution, autonomous self-centered man, and socialism"

LaHaye wants you to know that this evil "alien philosophy does not come from the Bible, but is antithetical to it. In this country it flies under the banner of "liberalism," but in reality it is atheistic socialism at best and Marxism at worst." LaHaye concludes: "Let's face it, the Antichrist's philosophy is already here."
