!bookworms what are your thoughts?
I never read, I only watched the Nicole Kidman film and the first season of the show. But I did some wikipedia reading on their fictional world
>people have dæmons which are their souls living outside their bodies in the shape on an animal
>Jean Calvine became Pope and the Church, I mean, the Magisterium, became some totalitarian uber powerful org in charge of Europe.
>God and the angels exist and our heroes want to kill them because the Kingdom of God is bad, Republic of Heaven is good and Church bad or something.
!catholics thoughts?
I did like the victorian-to-dieselpunk aesthetics the film and show have with the dirigibles and balloons, even if dirigibles are gay.
@ACA can you ping the calvinists and atheists please?

I read them as a kid, they're examples of why we still need a banned books list for !Catholics. I object both on the basis that they seek to undermine faith amongst the youth and on the basis that adults should not read YA lit.

Ban is maybe harsh, I just wouldn't let kids read them.

I think that the irony here is that kids read the books, ignored (because they didn't get) all his SOCIAL MESSAGING and just loved them for magic! witches! talking bears! He hasn't destroyed Narnia and Lewis's books, and the greater irony is that Tolkien - whom he would probably detest as much as Lewis if Tolkien had been more explicitly Christian in his writings - is still the Big Name in fantasy, where the LoTR movies (and even the disappointing Hobbit trilogy) did way better than the Dark Materials and Narnia movies.

If you're a child set to lead a life of faith, wouldn't you benefit more than anyone from reading stories on the perils of faith and how it can be a negative force?

Yeah unless you're r-slurred, you should want your kids to question things sometimes
The reason I ditched religion as a teenager was I wanted to jerk off and not go to church, not because I read some pseud book

Eh I was in elementary school when they released and I don't think it was a mentally healthy exercise at that age.

There are better ways to caution children against zealotry than introducing moral relativism and midwit "Church evil" worldviews to them.

That's a soft explanation, the books plainly paint the church as thoroughly evil.
