**”Oh, geez.

Not every piece of fiction out there has to be written with the intent of advocating religion. Nor should every piece of fiction out there be viewed through that lens.”**

I believe we have Faith for a reason, in addition to many other things a well formed Faith helps us to judge the world around us.

Fiction is an essential part of our culture, and it serves a basic purpose for us, if we promote fiction for children, then yes, we should examine the fiction through the lens of our Faith.

There is nothing wrong with that and plenty of right with it.

We are a Judeo Christian Culture, one way we can pass this culture on to our children is through fiction. If we continue to give accolades to fiction that is contrary to our beliefs then as a culture soon enough the culture’s beliefs will erode, degrade, disintegrate and we as a civilization will not be Judeo Christian in thought as well as in action.

If you have "Faith," then you should have nothing to fear from a book.!

The point is that not every single piece of fiction must be written with one purpose in mind. Sometimes entertainment is just entertainment, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
