But then again I couldn't (and can't) understand why Harry Potter is banned at so many schools and libraries either. *laugh* I couldn’t agree more – I just don’t know why we can’t get past the “this is fiction” part.

I found them very entertaining and although there were atheistic views in there, it did not convert me from Christianity. I just can't believe that people are throwing such a huge fit over these books! What's next...banning anything written by a Buddist or a Muslim that shows favor to thier own religion? It's simply rediculous. I read- and LOVED- the Golden Compass and I am dying to read the others in the series!

Those who claim they are anti-Christian are probably just too deluded to realize that ther are works of FICTION (as in not true). After all, if people truly have a strong faith, why would you have to worry about a work of fiction making them change their beliefs. Hope you enjoy the books!
