The reason I ever once loved sci-fi was because it inspired in me the question: "what if there exists more than what is?". Of course by "what is" I mean, what authority and church declare "what is". So in that sense, sci-fi was, when I was young, a vehicle enabling me to reach outside my family, outside my church, outside all authority into "what may be"...someday. Sci-fi was a guide-star to me in that way. BUT I was young, and no one is young anymore (maybe). In any case, now I can see that "what if" is nothing but bullshit. Then agin I can always pray to Jesus. Well, off to work... ;D
I'm not sure I mean by the what if and the what is precisely what you do that may or may not have set you off here. Be that as it may, if it really has come to that, good luck with baby Jesus.
It's painfully obvious if you read or watch any of the older stuff so it's surprising that people don't grok this.
