“You don’t like works about the Bible that don’t treat it literally”

is said to me at times as though this was somehow

wrong

I can accept poetic license to a point, such as was taken in “The Miracle Maker”,

or an artistic take on theology, such as was done in “It’s a Wonderful Life”,

(In each case there was displayed a very real respect for God.)

but some entertainments go too far just to entertain.

Should I not pay God’s words infinitely higher honour

than man’s weak rephrasings?
