First for all, the Bible is a religious document. The Left Behind series
is a FICTION series, quite obviously NOT the same thing. This series is
also an interpretation of the Bible, and a very poorly written one at
that. I haven't read the whole series, just a couple of them but from
what I have read it is propaganda, and not literature. I have rarely
read anything that it so widely accepted but that subtly teaches
prejudice and intolerance against people with different beliefs.
