I love search gremlins...

Okay, so I've been reading the Left Behind Kids books, partially because the library has them, partially because they're quick reads, partially because I want to see if they're as fucked up as the adult books, and partially because I am a sucker for bad Revelations fanfic.

So I'm approaching a book that's not on the shelf at the library, and I need to reserve it, so it'll get to me and I can keep reading. So I search the library catalog. I'm not all that familiar with the series names, so I query on "left behind the kids 14".

The result I get back is Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right by Al Franken.

I think the Sac Library Catalog is trying to tell me something.

That depends...

Are you Pre-, Post-, or A-Millenialist?

If you're Pre, the Left Behand series is like candy. If you're Post- or A-, it makes you queasy.

Pre = Rapture happens before the perfectly horrid End Times.

Post = Rapture happens after (or nearly after) the perfectly horrid End Times.

A = Jesus comes back when we've brought about the Millenium by doing Good and being Good. All that stuff in Revelations is really a political diatribe against Rome.

Or there's my personal belief. I don't know when, and I don't know how, and it's not really any of my business. My business is to love God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love my neighbor as myself. But whether He calls me to Him, or comes back Himself, I just wish he'd hurry up about it! (For one thing, some of my neighbors are... well...)
