Christian groups slam Golden Compass

[blueerica]

I have a number of thoughts on religion, Catholicism especially. I don't believe that ALL are out for greed/whatever, and would never venture such a blanket statement. Much of the perceived "problem" of religion(s) stems from their general origins.

When researching for a paper (that was essentially) on the origins of Catholicism, I picked up quite a bit of information that's out there publicly. I am no expert (no 30-page paper writer could call herself that), but it does seem that the earliest of times show greedier leaders. While I don't believe that is the case today, I can see how the feeling could resonate for some. It is partly the reason the Lutherans broke, off, protestants, etc... So...
you know... we all have our reasons and origins n' stuff.

As for me, I'm neither here nor there; agnostic and proud of it, as it were. (How many trite phrases can I pack into a paragraph to emphasize that I'm saying this all rather lightly?)



I think everything has its message, which is why I've chosen to soak up the best of what everything has to offer, whether it's the positive "do unto others" message of many religions or the "freedom of thought" of the atheists.
