SATAN: SCI-FI FANBOY

[defrog]

Yr fundamentalist warning of the day:



The usual suspects are there, though he forgot obvious anti-Christian sci-fi writers like Father Andrew Greeley, John C Wright, Tim “Rapture Me!” Lahaye and CS Lewis.

On the plus side: he actually acknowledges Kurt Vonnegut as a science-fiction writer.

Progress!

That’s not science,

This is dF

Oddly, I didn't hear too much on this front when I was younger. Mostly they were going on about the rock musics. Though I did know one devout Christian who thought Carl Sagan was dangerous for pushing evolution as fact, but they were talking about Cosmos, not Contact (which, come to think of it, is the only novel he ever wrote as far as I know).

Yeah, there was that push, too. But a lot of sci-fi, especially Star Wars, Star Trek, and anything fantasy, of course, was labeled as "New Age."
