If you read my posts above, you will see that the author had an encounter with “Edward.” What kind of “being” do you suppose this is? A demon, perhaps? Why would she feel “terrified” when she had this encounter with “Edward”?
Yes, some books are simply works of fiction. But others have some kind of spiritual force behind them. That seems to be the case here. In the Christian worldview, there are very real powers of good and evil. If someone doesn’t have a Christian worldview, then this probably doesn’t make sense.
Just my .02. :-)
On the other hand, authors sometimes get very much into their stories and characters. I have a story I have worked on and when I speak of the characters I talk about them as if I know them. I cannot always tell what a character will do, because they might want to change things. People who don’t write this way, find this a very odd way of speaking. “What do you mean you don’t know what your character will do. You’re writing it.” This might very well translate into a dream state. I had such a thing happen and had to change a major part of what I was writing.
That’s my point exactly. Couldn’t agree with you more. Everyone has their opinion and view, but sometimes those opinions and views go a little awry and then you have the plain ol’ nutball.
Good and Evil, some don’t believe it exists. I believe it exists greatly.
I’m one of those people that believes in the fictional; that there are such things as ghosts and vampires. But then again, I have an overactive imagination. ;-P
