In about 500 easy to read blog posts. In those, you will discover the blogger, Fred Clark, is an excellent all-round person (I'm an atheist, he's a Christian, and I love his writing about religion), and a good critic, and the authors of the books, Tim La Haye and Jerry Jenkins, are awful excuses for sentient beings, with no empathy, ability to imagine how people feel (eg they cannot see that the immediate disappearance of every child in the world under 12 would leave people feeling pretty unhappy), and anti-semitic, too.
No film based on their work will persuade any atheist. Or person from another religion. It's like saying that listening to Rush Limbaugh will persuade Democrats that the thinking, caring people are all Republicans. You have to be a True Believer with the brain the size of a peanut to be a Limbaugh or Left Behind fan.
