You are criticizing a potato for not being a minivan. Because the potato can't seat 7 and pull 80 on the freeway, there's something wrong with the potato. Who told you the potato was (or should be) a minivan to begin with, and why would anything about a minivan be relevant to the status of a potato?
Does that make the least bit of sense, in your opinion?
Ok so words and communication magically happen without any medium?
You miss my point once again.
Anything that creates an act of communication can move to someone else and if that person is deluded or a con artist they can take ANYTHING and use it in ways it was not intended for.
Now considering the amount of crap humans make up in our species history what in the world makes you think si fi is immune to that? I think it would be stupid for you to assume that Star Wars which is currently taken as si fi, that it can never be turned into a religion.
