Fandom, like SF, like punk, like radical politics, strips reality down to its bare essentials and asks fundamental questions. That, I think, is the root of its appeal. That the answers are not always adequate underlies much of the deficiencies of all four.

Hmm. The same could probably be said of religion.

When I received this message, I was engaged in flicking through Mark looking for the following text...

"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."

Mark 10 v14,15 (NIV)
