But that doesn't change the fact that I think it's a little ridiculous to be equating fandom with faith, which is what you're doing if you treat ObjectA and ObjectB like they're the same. Because, Sally is annoyed that someone is pushing inconsequential fiction at her. And is also Sally pushing something on other people? Yes, but what she's pushing is, you know, what she believes to be the path to salvation and eternal whatever.
And I think that's exceedingly different from, say, Jane pushing a TV series while Sally is pushing a book series and neither care what the other has.

(Anonymous) 2012-04-10 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)And to the non-believer the Bible is inconsequential fiction.
Fandom and faith can be equated. Everyone is saying that religion is so much more important and more life altering and a lifetime commitment whereas fic or fandom is some little hobby. And while that can be true for a lot of people, it's not for everyone.
I am not religious, but fandom has had what I imagine can be the same life changing effect on me and is just as important to me. There is this one fic that literally saved my life and changed my outlook on the world. No exaggeration, it was life changing. I re-read this story all the time to reaffirm that feeling of hope and life-changing-ness. It helps me in times of darkness and gives me hope for the future.

Most atheists -- in my experience -- feel this way. To those who don't believe, there is NO DIFFERENCE between pushing fandom/pushing religion, except the latter is more annoying and intrusive.
