Sometimes people judge me for being a fantasy fan (being unprepared for my arsenal of arguments I have ready to fire back). God inspired the Bible as a story. Not a systematic theology book. Or a creed. A story. We naturally desire to be heroes, warrior princesses, knights, or whatever it is you like because that's what we were MADE to be. We love adventure because we were made for a Great Adventure. Everything that humans deeply desire is fulfilled in Christianity. Which. is. awesome. <br /><br />And what you said about dealing with media the way we do people is well put.
