The Church abandoned the Index of Prohibited Books because it was seen to be counterproductive.
The problem is not well informed readers who read Nietzsche, or Pullman, to discover what their arguments are first hand. the problem is innocents who are drawn in and abused.
His Dark Materials is deliberately written in a subtle and incremental way, so kids will be drawn in first and only exposed to the vile message after they are hooked.
Note that the next installment of this analysis of the books will treat the sexualization of children. That is a major part of Pullman’s purpose. Basically, the lesson children get from the books is that God is an interfering busybody who must be rejected and killed, so they can have good sex with each other. Yet I’m sure Hollywood will give it a PG rating. And it will pretend to be Narnia by opening in the Christmas holidays.
An excellent analysis.
Just like the gay agenda that targets children so does this movie and the sale of his books. We live in a time when people call themselves Christian but it might be difficult to find Christs’ gospel in their beliefs.
