I'm sad with humans in general. People are stupid. There are a myriad of articles out right now that discuss the "controversy" within The Golden Compass. The producers of the movie specifically removed the more controversial elements which cast organized religion (the Catholic Church) in a bad light. However, the crazy Christians are afraid

People are stupid. It's sadly true and very frustrating. It makes me not want to go out and about.

I agree. Pullman in his interviews is usually less atheist and more anti-organized religion. I don't think people know the difference.

As a reader, I most certainly did not take away an atheist message from the series. I do find the books to be very anti-church, but there is a difference between anti-church and a disbelief in a higher power or a life beyond this one. So, people can say what they'd like about Pullman and his personal views, but I don't think they can really grasp the series unless they've actually read them, not heard about them through second-hand information on the author.

Very nice do you have kids if you do good luck if you don't then you should pipe down, you have no frame of reference. Its hard enough to find coomon ground with our children and all your doing is promoting more arguing with children and parents because if you haven't heard teenagers know everything, parents know nothing and there is no common ground to meet.

Oh, please... I might reply if you could have formed a coherent argument with correct grammar and spelling. Perhaps you should "pipe down" and read the novels yourself.
