Could this happen?
Of course, fans of the X-Files can love the Alien universe. Plenty of Lord of the Rings fans also read the Star Wars books and follow all of the spin-offs. Even the most treasonous act of loving Star Wars and Star Trek occurs all of the time. And the most blasphemous act of all is already set in motion – JJ Abrams who directed the Star Trek remakes is directing the forthcoming Star Wars trilogy. I know one fanboy who couldn’t sit still in-class when this news was released. His world had ended.
Of course, this type of co-existence happens in the Sci-fi world. Geeks, nerds, fanboys can unite over multiple Sci-fi universes and enjoy them at the same time. But… can those universes actually co-exist with one another. Could you imagine how it would play out if an alien from the Alien universe entered into the X-Files story arch? Chris Carter would be strung up before filming even has a chance to begin. What if some sort of time and dimension jump took place and all of a sudden the Star Trek Enterprise with Captain Kirk was teaming up with the Rebels to fight the Empire? Fans would not allow this to happen. Would they? Could this co-existence really take place? Could these story-archs all unite without sacrificing something special within each of their unique universes?
So why should we expect this to happen with religions? Come on!
Could this be a good starting point for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with someone?
