never before have the motif of the producer of a motion picture be more transparent . let see represent first and they get every willing televangelist to hype this film a the great thing since slice white bread . next and they encourage a many fundamentalist christian a possible to purchase copy of the film so a to recoup it paltry production cost and pump up it advertising budget . and finally and when the film hit the theater and get a many say christian a possible to see it yet again and bus them into the multiplex if necessary and not on the merit of the film itself and but because a # 1 box office opening will be see a some sort of profound spiritual victory . but that and of course and would not be enough . i imagine that any film critic with the audacity to give left behind anything short of a glowing review will be deem anti christian . of course and this shamelessly manipulative marketing campaign shouldn not surprise anyone . it be and after all and good old fashion capitalism at work . what do surprise me be how many people have be suckered into the whole leave behind mindset . a someone who try to balance his spiritual belief with some sense of reason and rationality and it leave me scratch my head . it would appear that there be many and many people who actually believe that sometime in the near future a rapture be go to occur and and that million of people all over the earth be go to simultaneously vanish into thin air . what kind of reality and i wonder and be these people live in . be this rapture something they actually believe in and or be it something they fervently want to believe in . and when they reach the end of their life and realize this rapture have not occur and will they be disappoint and disillusion . will there still be people 100 year from now insist that the rapture be imminent . in a way and i almost wish that such an event would occur . what an interesting day that would be . what would be even more interesting be if the apocalypse be to occur in a more spectacular fashion and not in the anthropological sense the author of the left behind series have portray and but a more of a stephen spielberg production and with boil cloud and trumpet and angel descend out of the sky and moon turn to blood and the whole nine yard . imagine come to the realization that it be all come true and just a the evangelist have be warn for year and and that there be something more awesome than just the cold and hard and physical reality we inhabit . wouldn not that be something . yet in the final analysis and it that cold and hard and physical reality that i will content myself with . my life be not so meaningless that i need the fear of a rapture and the end time to make sense of it all . nor do i need heaven or hell to bribe or scare me into behave decently and thank you very much .
