Candace, et. al.
Interesting that you brought up the "Left Behind" series. This is an
example of how the fundamentalist christians are winning. My mother is
an elementary school librarian and a couple of years ago she brought
back the list of the top selling or most read or some type of "top-of"
list that had the Left Behind books at the top. This was a list of
nonfiction books for elementary schools. I repeat NONFICTION!!! This
is a war and "they" are winning. Left Behind = Nonfiction. Creationism
= Fact. This is indeed a scary country.
btw, thank you Jason, LDewey and others for such wonderful comments.
Keep up the good work.
Best,
Dan "Fighting fundamentalism in the Kansas (where we have recently won a
'victory') Carey
