[QUOTE="Godstone, post: 54298954, member: 250003"] [SIZE=2][SIZE=3]Hi, Here are some quotes from atheist author Philip Pullman:[/SIZE] 'There is no doubt in my mind that (Narnia) is one of the most ugly and poisonous things I've ever read' - Philip Pullman [/SIZE][B][SIZE=2]Philip Pullman, the winner of this year's Whitbread Prize, is unconcerned. 'If there is a God,' he tells Helena de Bertodano, 'then he deserves to be put down and rebelled against' [/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=2] Pullman says cheerfully: "Blake said Milton was a true poet and of the Devil's party without knowing it. I am of the Devil's party and know it." [SIZE=3]My question is: Should we buy books by Pullman, Pratchet, Dan Brown, etc? However good they maybe isn't this anti-evangelism? Although some christians may ignore the atheist overtones, these writers will influence many. The more successful these books are, the more there will be. I'm not saying that people should only read christian books, but I believe[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=3] we should not buy (and thus support) those that are deliberately aimed at undermining faith in Jesus. :) [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
