Oh, are you reading The Slacktivist? I haven't even got all the way through the archives yet, but it is very good. The blogger does a good job of explaining the history of Lahaye/Jenkins's particular eschatology, premillennial dispensationalism, from the perspective of a Protestant.

Thanks for the link.

Hmmm; Stephen King produced a much - so far as I've read ("Assassins") - oh, keeedies', scaaarier AntiChrist than did Lahye & Jenkins, in his work The Stand.

FLAGG: What do you mean, "the rest of it"? Fear me!
NADINE: I guess I just expected ... something ... more.

NADINE: Hey, I may be a virgin in the loosest, most technical sense of the word, but I know a baby's penis when I see one.
FLAGG: Well there goes my erection. Good one, Nadine.

" 'Ha! And Captain Cock thought he was going to sail the ol' Starship Enterthighs into Vulvan Space territory, huh!?', sniggered Nadine. And with that, the Dark Man's chubby permanently packed up & flew to Minnesota..."
