[QUOTE="Crimson Longinus, post: 9321667, member: 7025508"] And some of those truths and falsehoods we might never know, as we were not there. In practical purposes we have just stories. Our experience of these things is the same. We don't even need to know whether a story is an account of true events or a work of fiction to experience it. It happens just the same. There can be facts about fiction and fictional facts*. And given that literally no one** thinks that fictional worlds are real in physical sense, harping about it seems pretty damn counterproductive. (* By which I obviously do not mean lies, I mean statements that are true within the context of the fiction. e.g "Théoden was a king of Rohan." (** Perhaps apart people who want to make a point about somewhat absurd implications of many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, but that is not a common topic of discussions here.) That fiction has ultimately been made up by someone at some point is not in contention. So negative reaction probably has more to do with how you express yourself. [/QUOTE]
