the guy wrote that book about killing God.
He's an atheist and is trying to spread it.

[fudge0604]

But I have never heard of him writing a book, about killing God....

[Ginny Weasly]

I read the book. I loved it. The series is called His Dark Materials.

I've read all three books and I've seen the movie, and there was only one part in the movie that might have possibly been related to taking over the church or something and I never would have thought that if my mom hadn't pointed it out

Regarding my ulta short post from before. I apologize, I was using my cell phone.

On topic:
The Golden Compass is an amazing book, focusing on a different reality. It talks about a girl's journey to fulfill her destiny and not even know she's doing it. It mentions the church a few times, yes, many books I've read do.
I'm very interested in such books, and I am not biased because I'm Agnostic. I read books that promote the church and books that are anti-church.
Knowledge is power.
And I refuse to allow anyone (even a chruch) to tell me what I can and cannot read.

[fudge0604]

Yes.... When did you read the Golden Compass Ginny?

And I also think it is a very good book. But I am wondering about the movie... i hope it's good
because i don't want that director, to ruin that series as that director, that is making Harry Potter on movie. :( :(

(( I am extremely dissapointed about movie 5!))

[Ginny Weasly]

I just read it this past month. My little sister got me it for my birthday, and it looked good so I read it.

Loved it, it's a great story.

[fudge0604]

I know. But have you read the other books? I am waiting for someone to turn in their books,
and get my greedy hands on the second book.

I agree Ginny, but I am catholic, and they do kind of tell me what to do through the ten commandments, but I still read just about any book that I can find in my house!!

[Ginny Weasly]

I'm sorry, but you'll have to remind me of the Ten Commandments....

I don't think "Thou shalt not read The Golden Compass" is one of them.
I really wouldn't know, I'm not particulary religious...

Understand I am not trying to start a religious fight. Goodness knows we have enough of those, I really am curious as to which of the Ten Commandments refer to reading books that might be anti-church.

[Kilynn]

I would also never ever read those books. (just my opinion)
