147 OP

[(Anonymous)]

Well, my point was more that the things that are different often completely change the nature of some crucial point about the religion of the books vs. the religion of the real world. There is vague criticism against some Christian teachings, such as the idea of love/sex being a bad thing, that can be read from it, but any attempt to draw a moral from the books that actually criticizes belief in God or even Christianity or Catholicism as a whole trips over the nature of the setting. How can anyone seriously think these books tell them anything about how reasonable or unreasonable it is to believe God exists? How does the nature of God in this very fictional fantasy series say anything meaningful about the nature of God if he existed in the real world? And even the idea that 'original sin' is good falls flat because in the books, the reason it is good involves a fictional substance and saving parallel worlds. As far as I can remember, anyway, there wasn't really any moralistic or otherwise applicable to our world reasoning for it. Correct me if I'm remembering it wrong.

You're on the money about everything. I never understood why religious people find it so offensive. After all, any God that can be killed is obviously not God...right? I mean, seriously.

I think maybe with the original sin thing it was just the whole point that growing up, losing your innocence, learning about good and evil, like what happened in the Adam and Eve story, is not the negative thing it's usually portrayed to be. And I guess the specific elements in the story were intended to function to support and try and get this universal theme/point across. So I don't think it's necessarily an issue of right or wrong, just of interpretation and opinion.
