I assume this thread has taken the current turn because of the biblical reference I made in the VIDEO GAMES post. It is common among well-read people to make literary references that back up a point being made in the current discussion. After all, if a story is so well known that you just need to mention a part of the story to make the listener understand a long detailed point, why would you refrain from doing that?

If I had referred to a Grimm's fairy tale, I doubt that any intelligent person would accuse me of trying to make them believe in witches or gnomes. But just make a similar reference to a well-known biblical account, and some people immediately begin to "cry wolf". <--(see how much information you can deliver by a short reference to a well known story?)
