See, now I am really ticked off. You get atheists, or unbelievers visiting a site and you have to walk on eggshells. Not me! I don’t have a problem telling people I am a Christian or that using the BIBLE as inspiration for writing is an excellent idea! You don’t like it unbelievers and atheists…tough! We put up with you people on a daily basis…it’s annoying…can’t you just thank the guy for his ideas and get over it already? Btw, thanks for the GREAT ideas…Praise the Lord!

Ali/B.J.

I agree, Ali. It would be interesting to turn B.J.’s plots over to a small circle of writers to see what they come up with. And I have just the right group. My students (high school seniors) will be participating in this YEAR’s NaNoWriMo challenge. B.J., with your permission, I’ll share your link to those who are still looking for that perfect plot.

Ali, keep up the good work. This post was neither preachy, nor evangelizing. I think it likely that the two people who took issue with it have a problem with Christianity- which begs the question – why did they read the post in the first place? Your sensitivity and respect toward them was obvious (and, dare I say, decidedly the Christian approach.) Too bad they couldn’t respond in kind.

Ali, I just want to thank you for your post. Please don’t give in to the people who say that you should modify your post.

Anyone read the book or heard David Haslam (father of late Paul, guitarist for the rock band Free) reading the old testament bible stories. You don’t have to be religious to enjoy the stories – helps not to be in fact…

I was inspired by the “Left Behind” book series and have always had a passion to write a book or books someday. I am a musicians and song writer and have written songs to about 4 albums. This website is a great help and tool. Quiet enjoyed the comments from different people. It is sad that some people are just quick to judge something before they really listen and learn.

Is there a quick was to learn about writing? I am willing to take part time schooling as I am busy working and supporting my family and cannot attend school full time. If anyone has a suggestion please pass it own. Would very much appreciate it.

Yes, I do agree: The Bible is a great source for writing novels whether one is a devout Christian or not. I am a believer and follower of Christ and of course would recommend Jesus to anyone seeking, but I cannot say, I will not read a Biblical story written by non-Christian. That would be very ignorant of me. I am sure Biblical movies like “Moses”, Prince of Egypt, Joseph Prince of Dreams, Paul, Noah, etc were not all produced by Christians. Same applies to books. Jimmy Laz sounds like he hates the Christian religion for one reason or another. I hope someday he will change his mind….God bless his heart. Thank you all.
