Adam knew his wife, Eve, not in logic, but in reality.

" struck me as being kinda snooty towards her. Harrison, please forgive me for saying so (if you're even reading this), but sometimes you do come across, at least to me, as if you think yourself intellectually superior to those who don't have the same tastes or interests as you. I hope I'm wrong, though. Cheryl – Harrison’s comment that his wife “…reads books that I loathe,” & “books that I find hard categorizing as ‘books.’ ” struck me as being kinda snooty towards her.

You seem to be trying to stir up marriage conflict where there's no evidence of any. But Reg, nothing was said about HER.

I might, however, take some time this summer to read <i>Right Behind: A Parody of Last Days Goofiness</i> by Nathan Wilson. Chas and Deb,

I agree w/ having problems w/ Left Behind but not the same as yours. I prayerfully, hopefully believe in a pre-trib rapture. What drove me crazy were the main characters who didn't take time to read the Bible, even Revelations! I can understand (ha!) them not taking the time to find semi-obscure passages in Daniel and Ezekiel, but not to read Revelations as they were living it? "Oops, better check the website to see what is going to happen next". Thank you Chas!

But I didn't buy into the premise of a pre-trib rapture. Also, I had lots of trouble with this "left behind" scholar who was so certain of what would happen next. I'm not certain of everything that will happen. I am absolutely certain that it won't be that way. I agree with Deb. Kevin, I read the “Left Behind” series.

I agree with Deb.
