Jesus? Come back and fix everything we broke!
Often, while discussing my beliefs and ideas of God, I am charged by my critics as having a view of Christianity that is nothing more than a fantasy. I used to laugh at such accusations until one of my young gamer friends introduced me to this song, which upon listening to it summed up my feelings and ideas about God so perfectly that I was faced with the realization that my spiritual beliefs are indeed rooted in fantasy.
My question to everyone is this. Are beliefs rooted in fantasy a dangerous precedent for Americans? For anyone? After all, people...why cant God fix everything!

Shouldn't you take this over to Jar's Place? For some unknown reason all the discussion seems to have dried up over there.

I would, but his software doesn't allow the inclusion of the video. (and that seems to touch a nerve in my soul...for whatever reason!)
One theme that comes up frequently in discussions here is the idea that all beliefs by necessity are fantasy.
I do not concur, and feel that some beliefs are logical. Has this already been done to death? If not---Faith and Belief.
