Well stated Daoust. I've read all 12 of the Left Behind series, and found them to be an exciting, fascinating look in to what Christians call the end times. While the stories are based on the NT book of Revelation, the writers do acknowledge that their books are works of fiction. When the writer of that article Tom Harpur writes "How the Christian "God of love" treats those "left behind" makes for lurid reading indeed," I would advise you to read the book of Revelation, before making silly assumptions that Tim LaHaye was trying to write a literal interpretation of scripture...
Also, you're going to need a little faith...
