LOL! I've never heard the brownie analogy before, though I was probably susceptible to it. There were a LOT of things I wasn't allowed to watch or listen to growing up (especially thanks to that darn toybox book that came out in the 80s). That's why I went overboard as soon as I left home trying to figure out what I'd missed with music (a LOT of "best of" albums ordered through BMG CD club when I first hit college).

I was glad to see you mention Dresden Files. That series blows me away with the positive portrayal. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that Butcher is NOT a Christian or a fan of religion (from some of his comments I've read), but he certainly respects the faith (via Michael). I love that. And that one short story of his with the archangel and Dresden still blows me away.

I love this. You've clearly put a great deal of thought into the topic for a long while, and it's a treat to see someone else's take on this, since something I think about a lot as well.

Everywhere I look, I see something sacred.

YES OH YES THIS.
