So I have made a strange observation and need some advice. I need to make a disclaimer, because I have friends who will likely read this of whom it directly applies.
There are always a few people at church that are not very confident socially. They are often really into sci-fi, trekkies, star wars, or fan fiction and anime. This occurs to varying degrees, and I to some extent identify because I have a bin full of comic books. My point is not the connection between social interaction and sci-fi fans.
But here is my observation: why in churches are they often the kids of fundies? Why do parents who are so concerned about the world polluting their children end up pushing them into the fantasy world of science fiction, Tolkien, or others? What is up with that?
I don't say this to make fun, and I am not saying that everyone who loves sci-fi has fundie parents. Its just too common for me not to ask.
