Fred Clark has posted again<\/a> about the Left Behind movie. Here is a quote:<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need to be a seminary graduate to understand the theological problems with this story \u2014 you just need to be a human being. That\u2019s the insurmountable problem for any attempt to make a movie based on LaHaye\u2019s theological-sounding ideology. That movie will have to put human beings up there on the screen, but LaHaye\u2019s theology and LaHaye\u2019s story will not allow those human beings to act like human beings.<\/p>\n

Humans who behaved like real humans would disprove LaHaye\u2019s story at every turn. Humans who behave like real humans disprove LaHaye\u2019s theology.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
