It's amusing to see "tolerant" folks labelling this reviewer as a member of the "christian" taliban and a whacko. How open minded of you! There's lots of right-wing, conservative, Christian folks who are quite accepting of other world-views and belief systems. The fact this reader/reviewer is a Christian doesn't automatically make him/her a close minded bigot.
A review (at least in the context of Amazon's site) is an opinion and nothing more. As a right-wing-christian-taliban-whacko-nutjob myself, I'd probably ignore the poor review unless I happened to be looking specifically for a Christian-oriented end of times book, in which case it would be a relevant review. Then again, I'd look at the dozen or so 5 star reviews with nothing in between as an indication that perhaps readership hadn't yet spread beyond the author's friends and family. I tend to ignore the ultra-glowing reviews right along with the bile filled one star reviews. In this case there I find the 4 star reviews to be the most helpful.
