Good article. Even though I know the Left Behind Series is non-biblical.... I have seen a lot of conversations about End Times come about because of it.

I also like that the books of the series open up dialogue about scripture from the old and new testament about End Times.

As a matter of fact, I've gone so far as to tell a few people that I knew to be unsaved.... that if the end times happens before they get saved... the books are on my bookshelf to use.... and I make sure to tell them it's ok because I'll be gone.... LOL

Anti-Catholic sentiments[edit]
LaHaye has been a harsh critic of Roman Catholicism, which he has called "a false religion".[10] In his 1973 book Revelation Illustrated and Made Plain, he stated that the Catholic Church "is more dangerous than no religion because she substitutes religion for truth" and "is also dangerous because some of her doctrines are pseudo-Christian." Elsewhere the same book compared Catholic ceremonies to pagan rituals.[10] It was these statements that were largely responsible for LaHaye's dismissal from Jack Kemp's presidential campaign. It was later revealed that the San Diego church that LaHaye had pastored throughout the 1970s had sponsored an anti-Catholic group called Mission to Catholics; one of their pamphlets asserted that Pope Paul VI was the "archpriest of Satan, a deceiver, and an antichrist, who has, like Judas, gone to his own place."[28] In Book 9 of the series, The Desecration, Carpathia, the villain, specifically refutes all happenings at Jesus' crucifixion that are part of the Catholic stations of the Cross but not in the canonical gospels, further undercutting the Catholic traditions.[29] Other Catholic writers have said that while the books aren't "anti-Catholic per se" they reflect LaHaye's other writings on the subject.[30]

Now I know why he isn't liked.
