Left Behind: Pretrib Porno2025 May 10patheos.com
I once when going through an "I'll read anything" phase (these phases occur frequently) attempted Left Behind, the 1995 "Novel of the Earth's Last Days" from a decidedly Evangelical Christian point of view. This was a long while ago, but I remember losing interest maybe halfway through. I have only so much belief to suspend, after all.
So obviously I missed the subtext. The porn subtext that is. From Fred Clark at Slacktivist in 2012 we learn that:
Our porn star hero, Rayford Steele, interacts with women just like any porn star does — minus, of course, the sex. It's all about dominance, exploitation, titillation and the stroking of — in this case — egos.
The article expands on this thoroughly, Clark arguing his seemingly-far fetched claim in a manner both compelling and convincing.
Post script: "Pretrib" (since I have never heard this term before and had to look it up) is shorthand lingo for "pre-tribulation rapture" – some esoteric antisemitic Christian nonsense that at least this Christian Research Institute blog decries (weakly) as "simply not great Bible."
