    If I make contact with a skeleton or any other bones, as a Christian it is more likely to heal me than kill me.

    If I meet a demoniac, it is more likely to be a chance to see God’s glory than the end of my life.

    If I meet a vampire, it will more likely be a Dracula than an Edward, and I will be glad for the cross I wear.

    If I meet a real fairy princess, she is more likely to care about Saint George or Arthur than Walt Disney.

    If I meet a hobo, he is more likely to be helped by the gospel and a hot meal than a fake rubber cigar.

    If I meet an actual pirate, I am more likely to wish for the British Navy and grape shot than for an autograph book.

    If I meet a dragon, it is more likely I am about to see the Archangel Michael than Eragon.

    If I am beamed up to the Enterprise in a time travel episode, there is more likely to be a Christian chaplain there than a commemorative copy of a Richard Dawkin’s book.

    If I meet a zombie, Jesus’ name would be more useful than a rifle.

    If I go to Narnia, I am more likely to try to stay than to doubt that I am there.

      If you don’t mind (or can stomach) a bit of scatalogical humor, check out online the South Park episodes in which Cartman travels into the future. It’s a world populated only by warring factions of atheists, and Dawkins is a sort of patron saint.

      And regarding all things zombie related, I would certainly keep Jesus’ name on my lips, but I might also keep my chainsaw running, just in case.
