[QUOTE="Apologetic_Warrior, post: 73164575, member: 15906"] I cannot remember the source, but read somewhere that the best writers have done the most reading. Something along those lines. In the world of fantasy fiction and Christian authors, two names come to mind, J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Read from their works, draw from their ideas, and my advice would be to stick with analogies if you want to invoke theological thought behind it. However, I personally think it is best to separate fact from fantasy, best to maintain distinctions, so as to not unintentionally distort the facts. Have fun with it, try not to take it any more serious than it actually is. Consider it a temporary mental "escape" from reality, because that's precisely what is behind most of what is called; "entertainment". Mountains and valley's, seasons of life, rain for the just and unjust. [/QUOTE]
