At the church I attend, Ed the pastor does a series each year called "God at the Movies." 

This week, while introducing the series, he commented that lots of believers limit their watching and reading of stories to the stuff "Christian" authors and producers offer, which is usually some attempt to adapt the kind of "secular" art they appreciate into stories the most delicate believers won't find offensive. 

So, these readers and viewers partake in largely derivative stories with all but the least dangerous truths bleached out of them. 

Better, he suggested, to realize that God appears stories no matter the author's beliefs or intentions. Better for us to read secular stories with an eye for spiritual truth than to waste our time on stories that will only reinforce our safe beliefs. 

And I'll add, better for artists of Christian beliefs to give up pandering and approach their work with an attitude like Flannery O'Connor's when she advised that Christian fiction is simply honest fiction written by a Christian. 

Note the word honest.
