That's ridiculous. Works of fiction can and do carry messages or reflection. Threads (the film) is a more impactful depiction of nuclear war than any dry report

That's ridiculous. Works of fiction can and do carry messages or reflection. Threads (the film) is a more impactful depiction of nuclear war than any dry report can ever hope to convey.
In fact, this very book proves that! It touched public opinion in a way that obscure and dense reports did not. That's just how people work.
Heck, are you a Christian? You might be familiar with a certain 1st-century apocalyptic preacher who liked to speak in parables...

I find it ironic that you compare the Bible to "The Jungle". Socialists regard TJ as their sacred text. I know some who have read it so many times they have it practically memorized. The scale of the umbrage when I disrespect it betrays the tale. But to answer your question, I am not a Christian. I do not cite the Bible as fact, although parts of it have been verified by archaeology. You are free to learn history from movies and novels. But how are you going to know what parts are true, and what parts are propaganda? Do you really want to base your worldview on fiction?
