For what it's worth, I'd like to post a general reply to this thread. Since this seems to be where the more vigorous discussion is, if FPW doesn't mind me putting it here, I will. If he doesn't want to risk me using his forum as my own soapbox when I already have my own, that's OK too. Either way, it will have to be after I get some sleep.

In our Orthodox liturgy, we are told to set aside "all Earthly cares"; yet that does not make us part of the "Otherness" to which Jack refers. Also, the alternate reality of fiction (especially science fiction and fantasy) need not correlate to our "reality" to be both entertaining and instructive. You may characterize Paul's work as "non-Christian" if you wish, but I think "anti-Christian' is a reach. I think you need to meet Paul before you make that assessment.
