"Well my point is more that fiction books aren't typically agnostic documentaries, they're just made up stories about stuff."
Okay. Some are. Some fiction book are pro-religion like The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Other books are pure fiction like the Miss Marple books (I read several of these this year as well and enjoyed them thoroughly, especially the portrayal of English society during the time period). Hidden agendas are up to author and interpretation is up to reader, wrong or right. I don't think the Golden Compass is a hit piece on the church. I read it before all of the racket started up and I just got a general feeling that it was anti-religious. That's about all I can say about it and all I really care to say about it. I am not going to reread it and document why I felt it was anti-religious. It doesn't mean that much to me. If I would have read it after the controversy started, I would probably pay more attention. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Download the latest ColdFusion 8 utilities including Report Builder, plug-ins for Eclipse and Dreamweaver updates. http;//www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5adobecf8%5Fbeta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:247414 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
