Re: 53

Well, there's no musing needed. Pullman said directly "I'm trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief" (in a Washington Post interview in 2001 about the HDM trilogy). That's pretty explicit, I'd say.

But in the same article he "acknowledge[s] that a controversy would be likely to boost sales" so I'm thinking he was probably doing it to get a rise out of people. But then, I suppose he does undermine many tenets of Christian belief: the sovereignty of God, the existence of God as the omniscient creator, the tragedy of humankind's fall from grace, the existence of an afterlife, but I think that just because he might have written all this with a giant poster plastered in front of his face screaming "Undermine Christian Belief At All Turns!" doesn't devalue the huge amount of structured belief that stems from the story. And I just think it's a shame when people allow petty remarks from the author that can't even encompass the complexity of the books to direct their judgement of the story. It's their choice, certainly, but well, I guess what I'm rambling on about is that there are interpretations that can find a balance between "fantasy EPIC" and "atheist manifesto."
