hullo all...
i was browsing though some of the threads here on the entertainment section, in particular the threads on Star Wars and comics, and was just wondering about something.
those of us who enjoy fiction of any kind probably know that a good villian is one of the things that makes many stories memorable and cool. This is especially so in fantasy ,sci-fi or action stories, which is why i mentioned the star wars and comics.
So, my question is, as christians how far should we go in enjoying this aspect of the stories. Now i don't think there is anything inherently wrong at all in the portrayal of evil or baddies in stories and it is completely possible for christians to enjoy stories of good vs evil or the triumph over oppression.
However, as those into sci fi/comics/fantasy will know, many people seem to be over infatuated with the baddies. When you think of Star Wars who automatically comes to mind as making it cool...for most people i'am sure its Darth Vader...if not in first place and somewhere close. Likewise for every fan who reads Spider man for Peter parker, i'am sure there's another who's really more interested in Carnage, Venom, etc etc.
Well...just hoping to hear the thoughts of those here who enjoy a good story....but are trying to enjoy God more...
