That is a good one. I'm sure his poem put the fear of hell into a lot of his readers, and hopefully it led many to Christ as a covert from the tempest.

Mickey Mouse certainly would qualify, except for teh fact that he is a fictional mouse and we’re being asked for fictional persons.

Well Santa, of course.

Then:

Harry Potter and his friends
Frodo Baggins (even the smallest can change the world)
Nancy Drew, Cherry Ames and the Hardy Boys - all those series books we devoured showing us how to be independent and strong
Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy

Scrooge and his ghosts and Bob Crachett

I chose books I read as a child because those are the ones that have lasting influences on character. I read them and wondered about them, and used them as aids to character. They used to write poetry and books to guide character, remember.

If this was DU, nearly every reply would include Jesus as a “fictional character”, guaranteed.

Might want to check post #18.

My point was that Ozzie and Harriet were their real names although the characters were fictional. Their sons used their real names on the show as well. Not trying to play “gotcha,” just clarifying. In contrast, with Lucy and Ricky, Desi didn’t use his real name.

Robin Hood took back from the rich what they had stolen from the poor. Not an inconsiderable difference from today’s socialist policies.

Actually, Mickey was a person. He was an Irish/Frenchman named Mickey Mouse (pronounced Mooz) who opened a Parisian bistro in Queens. It's just that the original animator was on a 3-week bender after his wife, who had walked out on him, came back. By the time the producers saw the result, it was on the big screen being cheered by audiences who, being unfamiliar with French drunken surrealism, took the man for a rodent. The animator then created Donald Duck when asked to draw a fire hydrant. True Story.

;)

Cvengr’s a Christian, so I know he was being sarcastic.

Whoa!

Robin Hood took from the king (i.e., the government) what they had stolen from the poor.

The furthest thing from socialism...
