Fantasy...Good or Bad?

Alright, I'm not going to lie. I love fantasy...especially medieval fantasy. But is such fantasy Biblical? I do want to follow the Bible, but I don't want to become too legalistic.

I took the issue to the Bible and found that in Revelation chapter 12, symbolic language it used to describe an event that never took place. But the message was meant to point us to Christ. So if fantasy points it's readers/players to Christ, is it justified.

Also, is it prideful to place our Creator in a world that we have created?

Are representations of Christ, such as Aslan, wrong in the light of the second commandment?

Where does 'magic' fit in to all this? Should it be used at all in such books/games?

These are all questions that I have been dealing with lately, and would like your opinion on. I have not cut fantasy out entirely, as I believe that creativity of that nature is a gift from the Lord. In fact, I am still working on my fantasy trilogy, which has a Christ-driven story line.

So what do you think?

Wasup...?

Okay, well I uh, didn't realize I was actually making a blog when I signed up. But here it is after I clicked 'okay'. Alright, so since I have one let's get down to business. I am a Christian, and as such I believe that glorifying Christ is the most important thing in life...so important that it should be discussed before everything else. I am a Christian because I believe that Christ Jesus was a real person and that he was the real Son of God. There is so much evidence out there for Christianity, that it's just too hard to ignore. But that's my belief. What is yours? Why do you believe in what you believe?

If you find this question difficult, perhaps you believe in the wrong deity. But that's okay, I can help you. Try my faith if you are looking for a more substantial faith. He is real, I have seen his work in progress. And if you want, I can walk you through how to approach him.
