I think people are all too willing to put any struggle between good and evil, concepts that aren't Christian by any means, into a Judeo-Christian frame.

In other words, he doesnt like new concepts being introduced to him. He wants to read the same story over and over again.... and he blames it on everyone else.

What about antiheroes? I love antiheroes. In fact, my November book revolves around a bad character fighting three other bad characters. He's not really evil. He's just not good. Oh, and by bad I mean bad all around. I'm sure my characters suck.  RE: Writers: if you're not Judeo-Christian, chances are you suck.

Did this guy say that if you have a bad guy and a good guy then its a biblical reference.
Sometimes here are good guys and bad guys in real life, so is real life 'framed in a judeo christian frame work' or is he talking shit. You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

And, come to think of it, so did Patrick Susskind.

My favorite Christian based fiction is the gospels. I like to keep it classic, though.

I was wondering why my stories always sucked. Now I know it's not because I don't have any talent.

I was thinking this before I read your post, am in complete agreement (and will give that book a look, link?) 
Rev Rye, I freakin' loved "Perfume." I actually just suggested it to a friend - both as a book and as a movie. Did you see the movie?
I've long wondered why I can never finish the novel......shafted again!
