But seriously. Speaking for myself as a Christian, and the fulfillment I personally get from my faith, it was extremely ironic to hear Wil Wheaton say “There is no God and I’m smart to realize it; I wish I could tell my younger self” followed immediately by “This is stupid; Life sucks and then you die.”

As I have said a number of times before, I mostly enjoy escapism and adventure in my fiction. It would be fun to have a nostalgic 80’s/90’s romp in fiction, but not when the main character craps all over the idea first. It really ruined the mood and I was no longer interested.
