Thanks for the link. Sorry, I know you meant well, but I think I'd find
LaHaye's stuff straining credibility, though. He co-wrote Left Behind, *and*
apparently believes this:

"In his book Rapture Under Attack (1998), LaHaye stated that he is
"sympathetic to conspiracy theories," and in particular, he believes that
the Illuminati is a secret society of liberals that seeks to undermine "true
Christianity" through the media and government."

If that's not enough to set off the "crank" alarm bells...

He also got a degree from Bob Jones University AND Liberty University -
yikes. He helped to "establish the Institute for Creationist Research". And
founded CNP. And gave money to Falwell's library...

As I said, I'll probably get around to reading some of the Bible Geek's
stuff, but I'm sure it's very, very dense stuff. I'd like to see/hear a
LaHaye/Price (aka Bible Geek) debate, if well moderated, but I doubt I could
really bring myself to read LaHaye, as I have a hard time believing he could
be intellectually honest. 

Even a few people that are going from the assumption that the Bible is
absolutely true gave it one star on Amazon.
