Bad Literature
I'm sure that this is one of those urban legend style quotes, but it came to mind.
"The decline in American pride, patriotism, and piety can be directly attributed to the extensive reading of so-called 'science-fiction' by our young people. This poisonous rot about creatures not of God's making, societies of 'aliens' without a good Christian among them, and raw sex between unhuman beings with three heads and God alone knows what sort of reproductive appartus keeps our young people from realizing the true will of God."

I am not so very pious, but I count myself as a patriot. Maybe I have not read _enough_ science fiction.
The title sounds a bit off for Readers Digest. Too long maybe?

The reason I said "urban legend" is because I'm sure I saw it get debunked elsewhere. But that was several years ago, and I (naturally) did not keep the reference!
