[LM_NET] Left Behind, thanks for information and

[Staci Perkins <txcityred@YAHOO.COM>]

Thank you very much for this information. We need to
know this, as apparently some people feel that because
it is popular, it must not be all that offensive. I
chose to read it because of the popularity. I know of
several churches encouraging parishioners to read it.
It is very divisive, scorns all religions not of the
authors, and I have read better written Hallmark
cards.

I am not saying that reader demand won't be there, or
that is should be excluded from a collection, but I
appreciate your attempt at shedding light on what this
series is, and does. Especially since our SCHOOL age
children are requesting it for the school library.

As far as literary quality-
I will not stoop to address it.  What literary merit
or notice have these authors received?

Someone posted that the BIBLE would have had similar
comments. Have you READ these? Seriously?
