Some people object to the use of elements of Greek mythology and other non-Christian beliefs to convey a Christian message. I'm not one of them ... but there's a certain consistency to the point of view, at least.

True, that.

I think the important part is the message. This is probably why I don't have a problem with Harry Potter either. The fictional "wizards and witches" setting is really just a backdrop for well-written and uplifting stories. It's harmless make-believe, and the reader knows it.

"Consistency" demands that they condemn the apostle Paul for his use of Greek mythology as a segue into the gospel in Acts 17, then.
