Ever read the Left Behind series? After I was a third of the way into my (admittedly Revelations-inspired, amongst other things) novel, people started bringing this up. “What’s it about?” they’d say. “It’s a post-apocalyptic sci-fi fantasy that deals with the aftermath of a pseudo-Revelations,” I’d respond. Mostly because I’m not very good at answering “What’s it about?”. They’d hook onto that last bit and say, “Oh, like Left Behind?”<\/p>\n

No. Not like Left Behind.<\/p>\n

But, if you’re looking for more of that, there’s a new Left Behind video game<\/a> coming out just in time for Christmas. Apparently, you, as a “true” Christian, get to go around shooting everyone who won’t convert.<\/p>\n

You MURDER<\/b> everyone who won’t become your kind of Christian<\/b>.<\/p>\n
