"This Is Your Life," "Dare You To Move," and "Gone" are my favorites. It's a shame you didn't mention any of their earlier CDs...Switchfoot is pretty good.

I'm not appalled at anything, and I know that many people have been pointed to Christ with these books.

I guess my objection comes more with this line than any other: I would imagine that the writer is responsible for more people coming to Christ than those who make fun of his books.

To say that any human is "responsible" for the souls of others is just strange to me and offensive to God. Do you think he'd let an imperfect people such as us determine who goes to heaven or hell? The authors are responsible for no one; the people being "saved" are responsible for themselves.

Just curious - what's your objection to the term "Saved"?

It's just so...churchy. It's one of those terms among many (such as "born-again," being a "believer," etc.) that kind of makes everything feel fake. I don't have any preferred terms; I kind of think that it would be difficult to accurately describe being "saved" without sounding churchy. I guess it's not a bad thing, it's just so cliche.  

I'm definitely not a liberal, I can tell you that.

Where as the Left Behind books seek to win people for Christ

How many people have been saved by reading the Left Behind books?

I would imagine that the writer is responsible for more people coming to Christ than those who make fun of his books.

Wow, I am appalled that you think a series of books and two authors can be responsible for the fate of the souls of all the people who read these books and are "saved" (a term which, by the way, I hate).

I LOVE the Left Behind books.  I am on a fixed income and get most of my books from library but those I buy.
betty

I agree the DaVinci Code is a lie from the devil.

Does this post make anyone else laugh? Anyone?

They're probably like Lifehouse or Chevelle; on a Christian record label, but not entirely "Christian" music.

out in the real world, the percentage is MUCH higher (especially among Christians)  

"Much" higher? It's hard to get "much" higher than 90%. Though I understand and agree with where you're going.

 

Amen, Tibby. But I have trouble calling those books the absolute worst...

Those are down there, but for me, the absolute worst would have the be a book called Bless Me Ultima, which I had to read for school. Ugh. I'm sick of reading all these books about minorities in America, or hispanics in Central America. They're all so cliched.

For those of you with a imagination deficiency

I'd say that constitutes about 90% of the active population on this site.

I loved this movie. It's the Christians here who say they feel they're being unfairly stereotyped that probably most need to see it.

It's sadly accurate.

One has to wonder at the kind of people who take the time to seriously analyze the comics, besides the artists themselves.

I think Jim Davis needed to stop drawing the Garfield comic strip about eight years ago.

This Friday. I'm so pumped.

Tibby! Great to see you! I've missed your perspective...

How come her husband still had guardianship over her??? HE LOST THAT RIGHT THE MOMENT HE COMMITTED ADULTRY WITH HIS LOVER!!!

Not under the Constitution, which is what the courts use to decide their cases.
