The Left Behind books are not Christian right - they are shameless Christian commercialism in the form of very poor fiction - and they are wrong.

Quite a bold ad hominem attack. Care to back it up by actually EXPLAINING yourself? Specifically HOW are they wrong?

No, I don't care to go into so many excrutiating details. It is a fair criticism of this over-priced rip-off scam.
I am amazed at the people who defend the books as if they believe this hideous fiction is actual prophecy and who think anyone who fails to be entralled by it or demands VALUE for his money is not really a good Christian.

They have made merchandise of something that should have been treasured for its holiness. And they got wealthy off of it.

This isn't taking the muzzle off the ox so it can eat as it treads the corn. This is playing on the fears and strongest desires of the sheep and fleecing them them in the name of profit--not prophet.

They are the publishing world's equivalent of the moneychangers in the Temple.

That's how I see it, anyway.
