Perhaps lost in translation?
(There was an error with the previous challenge, many apologies) As writers, it is inevitable that someone would misinterpret or even disregard something based on what you write. Perhaps they'll even think you're someone completely different. In any form, write about something your worried people will misunderstand, have already misunderstood, or misinterpret about your writings. Perhaps even write about something people assume about you based on your writings

The Angels

Religion is always touchy for people, since the thought of living in a snow globe forces people to question just how meaningful their lives are. I personally have always believed in God, Jesus, and the works. I read the Bible like I used to read comic books, eagerly flipping from page to page watching miracles happen. I pray like I'm talking to an old friend and always feel the yellow cellophane protection of the man upstairs.

This is mainly because of angels. The angels, or the works mentioned above, are the guardians and protectors of humanity. They have these humongous wings and are beings of light according to the parts of the Bible I've read and reread. They're Christian superheroes, esentially, and I enjoy talking about them. There are so many attributes that make them the coolest thing on my mind, yet talking about anything reomtely religious makes people go up in arms.

I want to write about a kids show about angels. Similar to Veggie Tales but less preachy and Power Rangers but more serious, the show would revolve around angels saving people. However, this country's relationship with religion is such materialistic bullshit that I can't think of a way to make a good show without it getting shot down or changed to be something I don't like. America uses Christianity to cover their asses, and I want my show to be someting authentic.

So far, there is a school for the angerls located in the heart of Texas. The school is a Christian school (obviously) and has four levels. All the angels are on the fourth level, and are being sent out to try to earn their wings. Their wings symbolize graduation. They are sent to live in an apartment and they help people in the complex with their issues through a vareity of ways. There would be an element of "magic" (miracles) as well as a positive message about helping others and being a good person. I'm hoping I can make that work somehow.
