Just imagine if he had replaced the word God with Allah! How heads would roll...

The Rocky Mountain Collegian: Illustrating Idiocy

According the world class sanctimony dribbled out by Lady Laura Miller, there's a "democracy of reading"

Except if you’re a Christian who finds The Golden Compasses well documented paean to atheism "unsettling" and being touted by "unsavory organizations of atheists."

Then it's a dictatorship of reading where Christians are meant to know their place. And that's deferential to the likes of Laura

However it's good to know that Laura, like the Barons of the English middle-ages extend that crude democracy to our betters, like Lady Laura, when it comes to say, the 2005 movie of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.

Why then, it's perfectly acceptable to point out, as a matter of "apprehension and concern" the "Christian" subtext this bozo has until recently, missed. Wow. Not so smart there Lady Laura.

Lady Laura Miller: Dec 7, 2005

“These are antsy days for anyone who has loved C.S. Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia." Even people with unambivalent memories of the series have reason to be apprehensive about the new big-budget film of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." How often has the screen version of a magical world you passionately entered into as a child lived up to your own imaginings? But those of us who fell for Narnia without realizing the books' Christian subtext have particular reason to be unsettled. The movie is poised to flush us out: Can we still cherish the books without believing in their most obvious message? Will we still enjoy them after critics remind us of their flaws and unsavory organizations embrace them as pious family fare? Will we still feel like reading them to our own kids?”

Get that. Lady Laura grants to herself the priviledge of objecting to the sub-text of a book because it's Christian, but objects when Christians object to the subtext of a boof because it's atheist.

Hypocrite thy name is Laura Miller.

Check out my exclusive edit of BBC News America's interview with Mrs Clinton: It's news to me!

I took the time to page through about half of the responses on the LAT page about the article, I couldnt belive what rubish they were.  They ranged from denouncing christianity because of the muslim teddy bear story to one moron declaring that it was not a parents job to decide for their children.  Sorry... I was under the impression that it was EXACTLY my job to decide for my children what is and is not approprate.  Tell ya what, next time my son wants to throw a tantrum in a restraunt and decides to jab a fork in your eye as a method of "expressing himself" dont bitch.

 Too bad stupid isnt lethal.

I, for one, cannot believe the amount
of free press both sides are giving this author and film company on
this book and film. I am taking a rather novel approach to all this,
I am reading the first book, The Golden Compass. For $7.50 plus tax, you too can make an honest
opinion about this story, rather than allowing someone to make it for
you. I have formed my own thoughts about the story, keeping in mind
the fact that is is as much based in the fantastic as some of my
other favorites, such as Narnia, Lord of the Rings, and Harry
Potter.

Just a suggestion after all.

Check out the intellectual standard of liberals foaming at the mouth because Christian folks use their First Amendment Right to dissent against an atheist agenda.

The gall, the audacity, the cheek of these people. Who do they they they are? Americans?

So how can one possibly argue against this level of brilliance and firepower demonstrated on all the tolerant and nuanced posts to the LAT site ? Such as this gem...

13. its fun to watch the thick foreheaded Neanderthals wave their bibles and shreik... makes it easier to spot and avoid cretins celebrating their limited intellectual abilities. amazing the world lets them breed............

Go Perry. Clearly another illustrious alumni of Berkeley.

Check out my exclusive edit of BBC News America's interview with Mrs Clinton: It's news to me!

"My books are about killing God" (source) and"I'm trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief" 

Oh sure, that's the ticket.  Let's just keep on rejecting God. That's the kool thing to do.  And let's make doubly sure that we put the kids on point in that rejection.  That's simply brilliant. Pullman and his followers are possessed. 

The movie may be different from the book, but I heard Scholastic is promoting the movie/book connection in the classroom and offering a curriculum for teaching the book.  Why can't a Christian book be promoted in the classroom, but a atheistic book can be?  Atheism is just as much a spiritual belief system as any organized religion. I know my nephews once they see a movie want to read the real book, not just the Scholastic movie picture book.  We are not going down that road here.

    One of the reasons there is so much anti-Christian bias is because Christianity promotes the value and dignity of the individual.  For liberalism (and any other political system that represses individuality) loyalty to the state is the highest calling for its citizens.  Kings, communists and despots have always fought the Christian Church.  The liberals wish to take us back to a time before Christianity where the elites/tribal leaders decided what is best for the group.  Then people live their lives as good citizens not good individuals.  Morality under a state system is do what you wish as long as it does not impact the control of the state.  If you look at Europe you can see how this process plays out.  As Europeons have walked away from their Christian heritage they have become increasingly less free and moralistically ambiguous.  Individuality has been replaced by beurocrats who micro-manage their lives.
