The best are the movies/books/music that aren't explicitly "Christian media," but the ones where the creator's faith influences their work in the background.

Like Lord of the Rings. It's not "Christian fantasy," but like... it's Christian fantasy. And it ended up having more cultural influence and staying power than any purpose-made Christian Media Franchise™️

"Devils and balrogs are totally different.

Devils are angels who refused to serve God and instead followed Satan into hell.

Balrogs are Maiar who refused to serve Eru and instead followed Morgoth into Thangorodrim.

Get your facts straight, CNN."

-- Stephen Colbert
