Wish I had more time and energy to comment.

I read these books a few years ago and loved them, in part for the anti-religious wisdom the children in them evince. The movies can’t live up to that, I don’t know if I will bother to see them.

Post is good – go read it.

Comment is free: Golden delusions

Atheists and those of a religious bent can live and socialise together quite happily – we’re lucky enough to live in a liberal and tolerant society. This does not mean we should pretend there are no ideological differences between us. Christianity and atheism cannot both be right. If the former is correct, atheists are doomed to hell; if the atheists are on the money, Christians are allowing an aeons-old lie to restrict their freedoms and choices in their one shot at life. The stakes are high.

I read the books earlier this year, and I love them, too. And so does Richard Dawkins (he mentioned the “wheeled” creatures in his book that I read last year).

I really want to see the movie(s) on one hand, but on the other, they put Nicole Kidman and that ugly guy who’s James Bond now in them. Whose idea was that??

Anyway, the books totally changed the way I look at Christianity, even as an atheist, because it’s SO true. Knowledge was the Original Sin. And Knowledge is the one thing religion does not want you to have.
