^ I read the first book in a Christian SF series once - what basically happened at the end was that a load of persecuted Christians (persecuted by Space Romans, pretty much) got saved at the end by a miracle. Some might call it devotional, but I just call it lazy writing. :P

(I wish I could remember what it was called, but I can't for the life of me. It was pretty awful stuff anyhow.)

Here's a wacky point - given that there are so many branches of Christianity alone, who's interpretation is "right"? And if it's the case that they're all right, then doesn't that by logical extension mean that quite a few other religions are right too?
