A statement made by Phillip Pullman, the author of The Golden Compass, in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald:

"I've been surprised by how little criticism I've got. Harry Potter's been taking all the flak. I'm a great fan of J.K. Rowling, but the people - mainly from America's Bible Belt - who complain that Harry Potter promotes Satanism or witchcraft obviously haven't got enough in their lives. Meanwhile, I've been flying under the radar, saying things that are far more subversive than anything poor old Harry has said. My books are about killing God."

Forewarned is forearmed, parents.

Trailers for this garbage began last year. The Christmas push will be on us soon, and this moronic drivel will be in front of our children's faces all month.

Tell your friends and families their time and effort would be better spent putting $20 in a Salvation Army bucket and count yourselves fortunate to have missed this perversity.

My books are about killing God.

Had he read the last chapter he would have found out God wins.

My M-I-L read these books a few yrs ago and wanted to give them to my son when she had finished. I respectfully declined her offer.
