"Frank Creed is a Fundamentalist Christian and writer of fantasy and sci-fi ( Speculative Fiction ). Frank Creed has a Christian Speculative Fiction novella published in Tales for the
Thrifty Barbarian: An Anthology of High Fantasy and three short stories in Light at the Edge of Darkness. His Christian cyberpunk novel Flashpoint debuted September 2007 and
the sequel, War of Attrition will be available winter 2009. An avid fan of sci-fi and fantasy, Speculative Fiction is the vehicle that Frank uses to deliver his beliefs and spiritual
philosophy to readers. This "Lost Genre" remains very controversial in the Christian Fundamentalist community and Frank Creed and other authors of Christian Speculative
Fiction are the new kids on the block. They will likely spread the Christian message to a greater number of people because they are willing to follow His voice and use the gifts
He has given. To this end, Frank has created the "Lost Genre Guild" an organization to help promote Biblical speculative fiction and assist fans in locating the best in the genre."

Crudeness"(06.08.04), was brought to my attention by fellow author Jim Bowers. The writer of "25 Years" contends that MTV has not only
"violated cultural boundaries" just like many other tv programs, but has, in fact, blurred the distinction between pornography and pop culture.
The result? a generation of children who now see pornography and crudeness as acceptable and desirable.
Edward Gibbon was a self-educated man, but his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire—published in the late 1800s—is still regarded as a
definitive work on the topic.
According to Gibbon, one of the five social signs of the Empire's decline was perversity seen as originality in the arts.
This cuts across the entertainment spectrum--sex sells and the free-market is wallowing in it. Original works are rare in Hollywood too—Baby-
Boomers go to see re-make movies so that's what the studios crank out. Look at the automotive sculpture of the Big Three: re-makes.
Incidentally, a case could be made that US has already experienced all five of Gibbon's signs since the 1960s and we’re now in a spiral. Unless we
divorce our culture from free-market morality (greed), our greatness is going the way of the British Empire—or worse.
French writer Alexis de Tocqueville toured America in the mid 19th century, for the purpose of discovering what made the US so great. After
crossing the land and seeing all the churches, he concluded that America is great because America is good.
When it ceases to be good it will cease to be great.
Have we arrived? Is the sky falling or is it simply the rantings of the culture of fear perpetrated by extreme conservative Christians?
