yeah, i was kidding ...

seriously though, i have read both, and i can't really understand how the golden compass is anti-god ... but i guess i am not that good at reading between the lines

oh, i know about pullman, he states openly that it was written as a rebuttal per se to lewis' works and with rejection of religion and all .. but i just didn't get fee that it was so overpowering in the book itself ... but i guess it is the wolf in sheeps clothing in this instance ...
