Thank you for your input! I agree with everything you said. I’m also quite conservative, and I know there’s others out there but it’s hard to find those who aren’t scared to admit what they stand for.

I knew tagging you would be a good thing. I agree with you and you’ve pointed out a lot that I never…[Read more]

I want to be able to read a story where a woman embraces being female without having to resort to belittling a male or besting a male in the process.

I agree with you here. I often see the problem of fantasy where authors find it a necessity to assume that the problems of this world are directly transferred…[Read more]

LOL, the title is hilarious since it has less than nothing to do with the topic XD

I wrote an immense piece in reply and I’m going to split it up in a few posts so it isn’t too overwhelming XD

I don’t have a lot to say on the general ethics or how you should biblically depict it, but I have a few points that are mainly for realism and…[Read more]

@obrian-of-the-surface-world

I love that both of you are discussing this.  Mind if I silently take notes?

Not at all! Welcome to the discussion. : )

Dr. Ben Carson is a Seventh-Day Adventist. I love the man. Such wisdom and a love for our Lord.

By the way, seeing that you’re probably someone who enjoys reading theology, I’d recommend any of Ellen…[Read more]

Hi Brian, I’m very happy to see you again 🙂 Feel free to read along, glad to have you!

It’s awesome that you have a Messianic character in your book! I have never in my entire life encountered one, and precious few Jewish characters, and it’s amazing to see it represented 🙂

Also, I notice that you refer to Jesus a…[Read more]

Okay, I’ve been busy with homework and haven’t had time to reply. I’m now trying to reorient myself as to what threads I was commenting on. 😛

@noah-cochran

Thanks! 🙂 Do you like Victorian Era British lit?

@obrian-of-the-surface-world

Thank you! I’ll keep everyone updated. 🙂 I don’t have a newsletter yet, but I do have a blog. I’m pretty…[Read more]
