Welcome to the forums, Sweet Mercury. More people with intelligent opinions are always welcome. I find it interesting that of the non-Christians I have spoken to about this graphic novel, almost all are more positive than I am regarding it. Likely this reflects more upon me than upon any of the beliefs involved.
I see this link a lot...
That aside, I definitely agree with you: this stereotyping helps nothing. Actually having an asterisked note with Ms. Baxter struck me as completely over the top.
10,000 characters, for future reference.
The minor details in this manga are better than many. My favorite is probably the fact that Serenity has a CD entitled "Fat, Ugly, and Stoopid." The mispelling isn't really funny, but the thought of this as a title strikes me humorously.
I don't think anyone has very stable grounds to disagree with this. While I can speak only for myself, I will say that my objection is to the presentation (or perhaps even the necesity) of this aspect, not its validity.
