LETS WASTE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BECAUSE THE WRITER WAS A DICK!

[Ignoring the horror of the bible of course...]

YAAAAYYYYY

Plus, I'd suspect Atheist Narnia would look shockingly like Switzerland :D

Switzerland has talking animals? Welp, when I can take a vacation, that's where I'm headed.

I'm pretty sure Switzerland is very conservative and religious.

Your point? :P
An atheist narnia wouldn't give a crap about what religion you believed in :)

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Sweden, one of the least-religious countries in Europe (and possibly the world).

Does Sweden look like Narnia to you? :d

Technically, no place on Earth looks like Narnia. I see no walking trees, talking animals, and river spirits :P

I don't know about talking animals, but where I live is full of river spirits and walking trees.

The other day I went to see Korpiklaani (awesome concert btw) and one of the openers did this.  Keep in mind this is a Folk Metal concert.  Frankly, I have no idea what a band like Polkadot Cadavar was doing there so their entire set was kind of WTF.  Not my style of music, but they were master trolls and at least competent.  I don't think I've ever seen so many bewildered looks in my life

Apparently, I can't leave my daughter alone with my computer. I leave to get a post-midnight snack and she has Weird Al's "White and Nerdy" up on youtube in under 60 seconds. I do not keep a history, so I'm wondering how she managed that. Unfortunately, she doesn't read very well yet, so I'm thinking that it wasn't on purpose, but damn if it wasn't funny.

A Los Angeles Times article on the Golden Compass controversy noted that:
[Pullman]'s never hidden his skepticism about God or his rejection of organized religion. A quick Internet search turns up a 2004 essay he wrote deploring "theocracies" for a newspaper in his native Britain, and his own Web site states that he thinks it "perfectly possible to explain how the universe came about without bringing God into it." "His Dark Materials" features a sympathetic character, an ex-nun, who describes Christianity as "a very powerful and convincing mistake," while "The Amber Spyglass" concludes with the two child heroes participating in the dissolution of "the Authority," a senile, pretender God who has falsely passed himself off as the creator of the universe.

Since I highly doubt that the term Christianity was ever used in those books, I call shenanigans. The series seems to be anti-religious in general, not anti-Christian.

Well... At least she has humorous tastes.
