I have lots of Christian Friends who love Harry Potter but I dont. I believe in what I believe and am not trying to find something different to beleive in. Thank you very much.

Why whould he say that "He hates god"?? Authors WANT people to read thier books.If he went around saying he wanted to turn kids against God I doubt that we would still have it in our librarys because...At the school I used to go to they banned Harry Potter books because a couple of moms got very offensive because Harry was a fictional wizard.And called the Board Of Education for our county.I dont understand why people make a huge deal out of this.If you don't like it don't read it.But please don't make a big deal out of it. Its his religon.He's an Atheist. It truly doesnt matter what religon you are we are all human! And this is a great book!

I`m Christian and I dont hate it. Harry Potter is one of my favorite series.
Is it because of the wizard and witch stuff, And magic. I dont see why that would keep a person from reading a gret book ( Like the Golden Compas )

well its not just magic I read plunty of other fantasy books like Eragon and Eldest and tons of other books. The golden Compass has lots of other bad stuf in it other then the killing God(I cant mention them hear their innapropriate) And Harry Potter I have watched the movies(And I think thier stupid) and the Auther has a very bad background.

*Sighs* The movie are never like the book.The Golden Compass isnt a bad book!! They have a few bad words but so does Harry Potter and Bridge to Teribithia and many others.There is nothing bad about The Golden Compass and for those who have taken the time to read the book know the truth.

Wow..No wonder why my Christian school never allowed us to buy the books from catalogs or even watch the movie. The auther sounds really stupid! If I were to write a review about it without even reading it this would be it:

THis story is very awful for Christian's! If you believe in God you shall not watch or read The Golden Compass. Please rate this story from zero to five stars.

*zero stars*

I think that's a little too harsh. I give him credit for writing the book but that's pretty much it.
