Reading Left Behind is like reading really really really bad fanfic. Come to think of it, since it's all based on (their interpretation of) the Bible, it IS reading really really really bad fanfic. I'm cracking up at least once per chapter... at least when the blatant misogyny and anti-semitism doesn't make me choke.
the Anti-Christ in my story was a woman (logical, I feel).
That's an interesting angle (and given certain Alaska politicians, not quite as far-fetched as the president of Romania...) Of course, it would never have occurred to Messrs. LaHaye and Jenkins, since women in their world have neither the brains nor the guts required for the job. Not that the men do either, the authors just think they do. And obviously, the plot would be "war with God" - that's one of the funny things about Left Behind: that the authors don't realise that they've written a book in which God is unashamedly the villain.
