Nice try...

THE TRUTH ABOUT "THE GOD MAKERS" - Gilbert Scharffs

FFH, you should retract this post immediately as YOU are WRONG. Francine is talking about a book by a man named Herbert, not the anti-Mormon Decker. It's the same title, but a different book.

Review of THE GODMAKERS

FFH, you are wrong. Look up what Francine is talking about. She is right. We aren't talking about Decker. She was suggesting a different book with the same title.

Okay so I got it wrong, still it's not a book which would be conducive to any LDS lifestyle.

I guess that's because it's science fiction? Kind of like Santa Claus.

That's just your opinion. And I remember you're anti Harry Potter as well.

Yeah, I lump it all together and throw it mentally in the trash.

Yeah, throw that in the mix too, it's all the same, junk that is.

You think God wouldn't want us to create or partake of stories about Good and Evil with Good winning?

*sigh* I suppose the thread was destined to deteriorate at some point. I suppose we should just be glad it hasn't been closed for moderator review yet.

I could put a painting of a naked babe on the the cover of a Battlestar Galactica novel and you would say it wasn't conducive to any LDS lifestyle.

I'm sure FFH is anti Battlestar Galactica too (with or without the naked babe).

And, Battlestar Galactica is hardly representative of the LDS Church.

Apparently you've lost that keen insight that FFH found so praiseworthy.

Join the club. FFH thinks anyone who agrees with him is wise.

I'm talking about the 1978 cheesefest on ABC created by LDS member Glen Larson that had a planet Kobol and a fleet of spaceships looking for the land of promise, along with glowing angelic beings that say things like "As you are now, we once were, as we are now, you might become. "

What's wrong with sci-fi?

This has to do with our theology because????

I'm well aware of what you were posting about and just because an author uses influences from his culture it does not mean the end product is an actual representation of that culture.

It depends on the message of the story.

Is God glorified or is Satan ???

Satan will twist things to make an evil film or story look good, but in reality it brings glory only to himself and his evil ways not God's eternal ways.

Chronicles of Narnia: good
Harry Potter series: bad

If good = god and good wins then God is glorified.

AND, that's what happens in Harrry Potter - good wins.

It has nothing to do with the cover and everything to do with the content.

So your not really interested in the church after all.

Just playing with us perhaps. It's all good, we enjoy a good game now and again.

A little wiser for the experience I guess.
