I was on a mission trip, and as we talked to this guy we found out that he was a big fan of Narnia so we used Aslan's sacrifice and Resurrection to help paint a picture of why Jesus died for our sins. Anyone who is thinking about writing Christian based sci-fi/fantasy should! Because who knows how it might glorify God!

Sci-fi and fantasy are my least favourite genres.

Ones like HP I've never seen or read but I think I'm right in saying JKR is a Christian? Catholic?

Anyway from a Christian POV I think we should treat it like anything else in the secular world, be it music or anything else entertaining.

There probably are exceptions that are very good and biblical ...

A lot of C S Lewis is allegorical.

Then, I'm not into C S Lewis particularly.

(Did you know that Joanna Rowling was influenced by C S Lewis in her Harry Potter stuff, BTW?)

I know what you mean.

There's a sense that we constantly need a reality check, and if we are into improbable fiction, the reality side can be a bit tenuous, I guess.

But then the parables are not necessarily intended to be historical, are they? but anyway the terms of the parables are intended to relate directly to reality...

I'll take two voices saying she is a Christian as, good enough for me.

The mighty Wiki seems to think that Dumblesdore is gay.

 

[jasoncran]

The mighty Wiki seems to think that Dumblesdore is gay, but not that he hits on Harry.

in the books, i dont recall any type of love interest. i simply dont feel confortable with that idea. and i would honestly stop watching the movies even if they had it where they were two adults.

i cant in good conscience be happy about that type of sin and root for a gay relationship.
