Paradise Lost is quite interesting but I wouldn’t call it a seminal theological work. It’s really just high quality fan fiction.

The Brothers Karamazov and The Divine Comedy are also works of fiction.

Heresy can be interesting, and still be heresy.

Man the word heresy seems to be the common word to use around this thread XD.

Arguably that's what makes it so deadly. If Heresy were boring, nobody would fall for it.

Yeah, uppity atheists trying to use the establishment clause as cudgel to erase religion from the public sphere. Thankfully SCOTUS saw reason.
