They're little kids. And little kids would much rather read a "gimmicky" story about robot sheep than Bronze age herdsmen. <BR/><BR/>The trick is teaching kids that David didn't get off a lucky shot, but that what he was doing he did with the Lord's support. Whether it's hurling a sling at a giant man or smashing a giant robot to bits, if the comic works in God then it works.<BR/><BR/>And it makes it easier for parents having to explain "why yes hun, it's okay to kill someone if God tell you to" when that someone is a big bad <I>robot</I> rather than a really big bad guy.djhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15521227506428379000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094740266140441205.post-18240867306508960902008-09-22T15:00:00.000-07:002008-09-22T15:00:00.000-07:00Why do the Bible stories need to be set in the tim...Why do the Bible stories need to be set in the times they were originally? Surely the most important part of a Biblical tale is the lesson to be learned from the actions of the agents involved; David besting Goliath even though the latter was the supposedly "superior" fighter.<BR/><BR/>I believe that it is a good thing such lessons are being updated for modern usage, because frankly the actions of a long-dead king mean very little to me and my generation. The importance that lies within the story does indeed mean something, but is it not better to abandon such archaic forms of literature for the more refined wisdom which we of this modern age can produce?Sam Grimshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815491129270127233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094740266140441205.post-89343387524926314982008-09-22T07:52:00.000-07:002008-09-22T07:52:00.000-07:00In principle, I agree with the idea that the "real...In principle, I agree with the idea that the "real" Biblical background doesn't need slick sci fi graphical improvements/plot devices. I am hearing stories from the battlefield that is religious education that children don't know these are from the Bible. They think Old Testament stories are all some variant of everyday fiction. Actually, I'm not sure which position this strengthens: the idea that it should be slicked up or the point that it should be authentic.PaperSmythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813068522979861687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094740266140441205.post-14900136006458010922008-09-20T05:56:00.000-07:002008-09-20T05:56:00.000-07:00I thought I saw a manga Bible type thing without t...I thought I saw a manga Bible type thing without the mechas at Wal-Mart sometime last year.
