Author Who Wants To Kill God Makes Children's Movie

to a point, i agree with you, and it's a topic i could talk about for a long, long time.

then again, i recall that atheists believe everyone is going to be obliterated, regardless of merit.

but it might still be used to indoctrinate people into doing certain things for that "immortal" state.

i think heaven and hell are stupid reasons to do anything. go back to indoctrinating people with right and wrong, and leave the mystical stuff out, until they take a personal interest in it.

there's a little bit of intended irony there. i'm trying to make many points by making a small few and having a laugh. i think it's a good approach to religion sometimes, like the discordians approach it.

We all die as descendants of Adam. But, according to the bible, Adam and Eve had the prospect of living forever on earth. It may seem to us like an intolerably long time, but God has not abandoned his purpose.

So the choice we have is between life and death.

No roasting, toasting, baking, or broiling.

No he doesn't.

He said his books "were about killing God". It's a gross oversimplification, but it in essence captures the main plot of his books ?- that is, children get caught up in a war between Heaven and those who rebelled against it. The rebels wish to overthrow this God character (who in the book is actually called the Authority) and establish a democratic republic in Heaven instead of a dictatorship.



I was equally alarmed by C. S. Lewis' attempts to influence children directly or subliminally through his first Narnia book. Your point being?

It's not as if Pullman is calling for children to be immoral or amoral.

we can certainly hope that more children learn to think critically through their exposure to Pullman's work
