It's time to choose... Who do I want to be? Who am I? For years I have been trying to choose a side. My two worlds will not mash together no matter how badly I want them to. It is time to choose. Who do I want to be? Who am I? There is no turning back.
Please give me some Feedback

Wow this is really deep!
Jack...very nebulous. I like it because its generality allows many people to connect with it.
Since you're having a difficult time coming up with ideas, maybe you can elaborate on your questions in the form of a personal essay. What are the sides? Who are the two worlds? Every good story starts with conflict, and it looks like you have yours. Flesh this out.
Yeah, that is really deep...
But what 2 worlds are u talking about??
I don't know what two worlds he is talking about, but I know what he means. I am a Christian, but I like scifi and fantasy and such. It is kind of hard, because then I have to be 'careful' about what I read and what I write, but I don't like having to censor myself. Sometimes I feel as though someday I am going to have to choose between them, which is going to be very difficult. I understand how you/Jack feel completely. I am also a 'deep thinker' sort of person.
Hannah...interesting dilemma. I had a hard time reading His Dark Materials for much the same reason. Although I loved the books, I was kind of uncomfortable with the anti-Catholicism (and I ain't even Catholic!).
Two pioneers of fantasy, Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, were devout Christians. Their faith, more or less, helped to inform their epic battles of good vs. evil.
Lastly, I like to remember that it's all fantasy and that most people who complain about books like Harry Potter have not actually picked up the books to read them.
Just my 4 cents.
