I was trying to figure out if I had this “Trump derangement syndrome” that I read about in an article recently. I read somewhere that it is more his character than policies that are the problem. Being a Democrat, I do not agree with all the Republican policies, but that doesn’t mean I hate all Republicans. I try to listen and not reflexively tune them out. I feel there is room for both.
Yuck! At least Nicolae Carpathia from Left Behind was good looking and not an orange turd.
The three of us on Lemmy that get that joke are all ROLLING.
Confirmed.
I wished I didn’t get it. But all that rot is behind me now.
I got the joke and I’ve never read a Left Behind book, but I have read much, but not all of-

And if you have read the books, you’d probably appreciate it more than I do, but it’s the most in-depth takedown of a book, let alone a series of books, that I have ever read. Like paragraph by paragraph sometimes.
Oh geez I’ve been wondering about this for twenty years! I caught the first post or two as they came out, right as I was still in the thick of cultural Christianity but not really serious about it—later, as I began shuddering at what I had been, I idly wondered to myself about this series and whether it had continued, but never enough to actually go looking for it. Thank you for bringing it back to my attention!
No problem. I’m really tempted to start over again from the beginning, but it’s such an epic website to go through.
I’m not religious anymore but I still think that was a really cool science fiction series.
I never was very religious before being an atheist but the books were entertaining popcorn between Sword of Truth and Wheel of Time releases. It also helped my mom was reading them so I didn’t have to spend my money on the books. A lot of what I read at the time was because my mom read it.
