Fiction's a good thing. It makes us think. But, it's important to recognize the difference between fiction and fact. Evidence-based factual material is stuff you can actually use. Fiction's just entertainment, whether it's Harry Potter or the Bible. While you can sometimes get wisdom from fiction, you can never get facts.
