[Augustine23586]

Two main reasons: First, some Christians view anything that is supernatural but not Christian as being of the devil, or at least a vehicle for the devil’s influence. Second, it is suspected of getting people’s minds off the Christian message, as though there can be a world of the spirit that has nothing to do with Jesus Christ (who in orthodox Christianity is ‘begotten, not made’ and created the entire universe). As long as fantasy is recognized as being only that – fantasy – I see no conflict between it and Christianity. Incidentally, Tolkien was a devout Christian, and there are said to be Christian themes, albeit hidden, through his writings, including ‘Lord of the Rings.’ The British seem to have a special affinity for fantasy literature.
