Summary: Key to understanding world events

I rent these Christian end of the world movies for their camp value, and so far I haven't been disappointed. However, I recently read an article which pointed out that many of the higher ups in the Bush administration are big fans of this series. It was speculated that perhaps some of Bush's foreign policies are guided by a desire to hasten the arrival of the "rapture" which this film portrays. Watching Left Behind II with that new knowledge, I experienced it as more of a horror movie then a comedy. All you have to do is watch a few minutes of the news to see the terror and death that can be caused when people who really believe in this swill have the power to do something about it. I don't want to leave any spoilers, except to say that this movie, and the original Left Behind, will do a lot to clarify the motivations behind some seemingly asinine policies being implemented today. As you watch the movie, keep saying you yourself: Yes, some people actually believe this is the way the world is, and they have guns.
