Is not truth, truth for all?

Truth is very stubborn. It is no respecter of persons. It never ceases to amaze me when I see a movie or read a book that other Christians have told me not to read or watch even in private and I find a biblical truth in it. Atheist Carl Sagan's novel "Contact" was a classic example of an atheist making a theistic point, only he did it better than 99% of theists could do. The book and the movie are a must have. But the ending of the book is even better. It didn't translate to the screen for logistical reasons, more an intellectual than visual scene. It's a must read so I'm not going to tell you what it says.

Gene Roddenberry created the great "Star Trek" series and is listed as a great atheist. But how transparent was the "Prime Directive" as worldly wisdom as opposed to transcendental wisdom? The Prime Directive always lost the debate. It was always on a shaky, morally relativistic ground; what the culture thought was right was what the technologically advanced aliens were supposed to honor. The Prime Directive was almost always violated by Kirk and company because it was almost always wrong. I was actually surprised to see Roddenberry on the "A list" to be honest. Many of my views of moral absolutes were strengthened by watching this show created by an atheist.

Truth has a way of coming through when people choose honesty and sincerity. We are all made in the image of God and He shines through when we let Him.

One of the most disappointing Christian responses was to the Harry Potter book and movie series. Sure it used magic to set up its plot, and we know only God can over-ride the laws of nature, but magic was the vehicle for a distinctively Christian narrative. Two authors even combined to write a book called "The Gospel According to Harry Potter". I have it on my shelf.
