Haha that’s funny, I had a villain named Mr. Burton too! He was a land agent…

I have so many characters and so many names it would take for-ev-er to list them all, but a few of my favorites are as follows. I’m only going to list historical fiction ones to save time.

Minor Characters:
Button Smallwood (Police Inspector)
Corrie (Cornelius)…[Read more]

Ooh, I just thought of another favorite messed up protagonist.

Ebenezer Scrooge.

Seriously, I’m not joking. 😛

I attended the webinar; I learned a lot and thought it was really good. Thanks for bringing it up, @Daeus.

Thank you Sarah. I really enjoyed this discussion.
I believe I have stated all my arguments, and furthermore I believe each and every one of them was Biblically and logically sound, as I tried to explain. I may perhaps have failed to come across on some points, but I don’t know how to state them more clearly.

So thank you. God bless! 🙂

Absolutely. 😛

@kate-flournoy Wonderful dramatic end. It made me laugh. 😉

*giant tsunami crashes over island, sweeps it all away* The end. 😛

Thanks Daeus— I was wondering that too, but didn’t quite know how to say it. You put it down very clearly. 🙂

I appreciate your frankness, Sarah, but a lot of your arguments are either logically unsound or built very heavily on assumption. Thank you for sharing with me and taking the time to try and convince me, but I’m still going to have to say I disagree.

But we already know the reasons for that, and still aren’t agreeing, so I don’t think further…[Read more]

Oh the irony… and the Pope only succeeded in kicking the can a little further down the road. 😛

Oh gracious, yes, @Daeus! Absolutely show what a crushing, dangerous responsibility it is! In fact I’ve used (and am going to use) it in many ways to showcase how power can corrupt, and why it’s incredibly dangerous to trust a fallible human being with too much of it.

Only a few of my villains toss it around like it’s nothing, and it never…[Read more]

I read the article, and though again I do see your argument, I don’t agree. Tell me something I wasn’t expecting, hey? 😉

There’s one thing this hinges on, I think, and maybe I didn’t make this clear enough in my first posts. The difference is we are not talking about fairies and elves etc. as they may stand in our world. That’s an entirely…[Read more]

@Sarah-h— Well, no… I don’t believe that exactly. I believe magic, quite simply, is God’s power whether or not it takes the form of a prophet-like being (Moses, for example— all @reaganramm‘s points are completely valid in my opinion) or the form of a created natural system. Because even if it is a natural law thingy, it was still set in…[Read more]

It is. It really is. Every person should read Screwtape. Get ‘Screwtape Proposes a Toast’ as well if you can— it doesn’t always come with the rest of the ‘Screwtape’ material, but it’s FANTASTIC— especially if one is a political nut-case like myself. 😛

Wow, I might have to look into that @kate-flournoy! Sounds like a GREAT book. 🙂

Wow, I might have to look at that @kate-flournoy! Sounds like a GREAT book. 🙂

Hey Hannah! C. S. Lewis. 🙂

It’s not so much of a stunning story as it is a stunningly insightful… er… devotional, for lack of a better word! It’s basically the correspondence of Screwtape, a demon, with his nephew demon, Wormwood, in which Screwtape advises him in all the billions of ways to tempt a human being.
Now that sounds revolting…[Read more]

I do see what you’re saying, Sarah, but unfortunately I still find myself on the opposing side.
I don’t think it’s going against the nature of God at all to have fantastical creatures or your scorned ‘fantasyland’. What are they but created creatures, created to people a world different than ours? They would still be created by a supreme creator,…[Read more]
