Fred Clark published a new post, TFTM: Leave the gun, take the salvation, at Patheos.com.
This week Fred writes about part 3 Left Behind II: Tribulation Force.
(Trigger Warning: Fred's post includes a discussion of suicide and suicidal ideation.)
Excerpt:
In our survey of the books, we’ve noted many scenes like this. The authors often assume that anyone who has heard the soterian gospel without immediately converting must be deliberately choosing to reject it despite, deep down, knowing it to be the truth. Here poor Macniven has to find some way of portraying that perverse rebellion, he has to embody it and try to make it appear like something a human might actually choose to do.
He fails.

Commentators who would like to share their responses to the new post with all of Fred's fans (old and new) can cross-post to both boards.
Perhaps all the firefighters are also stealing from the canteen fund. Or they all got Saved by Loretta while Bruce was looking at maps of Israel.
