Horrid Henry is the main character in a children book series. He is horrid and the children loves him and can identify with him. Actually Horrid Henry behaves as what he is, a sinner. His younger brother Perfect Peter is also a less than perfect sinner, but obeys his parents in most things and gains their trust, thus he is a good boy. He represents the typical "good" person in the world. Parents, like all authorities, love Perfect Peter and dislike Horrid Henry. However, when they read books for entertainment, they love Horrid Henry.
Superman was the perfect superhero. However, as time passes, stories about perfect being became boring. So the producers made Superman slightly bad so that the stories is more attractive.
Many people wanted to go heaven, but is afraid that it may be boring. After all, everything is so perfect and good, where then is the fun? Are we going to sit in the cloud and play the harp praising God for eternity? That sounds boring.
We all love sin. It is exciting and entertaining. Imperfection is so fun. Look at all the stories and television series. Would they be exciting if there is no sin? We love sin, except when our own children is like Horrid Henry, or when our families is breaking up like those in the soap operas. But if it is other people's children or other people's family, it is okay. It is gossip fodder. We love it.
