If Philip Pullman isn't possessed, it's not for lack of trying. What a creep.

1. He sounds like a really fun guy, doesn't he?

2. Well, if this doesn't get him on that poor loon Michael Newdow's winter-soltice-card list, I don't know what would.

He's just jealous that Disney isn't making a blockbuster out of His Dark Materials.

[A message]

Pullman is just like any other atheist that has determined there is no existence after time here on earth.

I guess if you want to cease to exist bad enough, you'll get what you want.

Pullman believes that Lewis's books portray a version of Christianity that relies on martial combat, outdated fears of sexuality and women, and also portrays a religion that looks a lot like Islam in unashamedly racist terms.

'It's not the presence of Christian doctrine I object to so much as the absence of Christian virtue. The highest virtue, we have on the authority of the New Testament itself, is love, and yet you find not a trace of that in the books,' he said.

You're right... this guy is a creep.

I am in the middle of reading it again, and I don't see anything in the book that resembles Islam fanaticism anywhere.

Absence of Christian virtue? What planet is this guy on? Mr. and Mrs. Beaver just rescued Lucy, Susan, and Peter from the White Witch.

Father Christmas?

The benevolent old gentleman who brings goodness to the land of Narnia. No Christian virtue? I don't know what this guy is reading, but it ain't The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe. This guy sure has got an axe to grind. I dare say that he's not showing any Christian virtue at all by lashing out at this film.
