soxfan, I've followed your sitch for a long time and posted a time or two way back when. It was great to see a longtimer make it back together. Sorry it isn't going so great right now, but it is a big adjustment to get used to each other again after the time apart. Wishing you all the best!

Well Ian, since my kids already don't believe in god it wasn't that much a problem for us. In my 4th grade class about 8 kids have read the book, and not a single one, when telling me about it compared "Dust" to "God" or even a god.
Great books, great movie and lots of moral lessons as well- loyalty, redemption, perserverance, love... that good and evil aren't always black and white...

Thanks Trip. I hope so too. I saw on a redesign show over the weekend that people clutter and are sloppy for comfort (although I can't for the life of me see that....). They don't realize that the clutter is actually the root of their forgetfulness (of where they put things-keys, watches, etc), their lack of time management... H has a lot of stuff to work on. Plus he tries to control me with his slobbiness.
Ian- I have a hard time with any article that quotes an atheist as "hating God". How can an atheist hate what they don't even think is real? When that happens, the author is taking writer's privilege with their quotes and the article is most often bias.
There is no more hatred of a god in the Golden Compass than there is the teaching of Witchcraft in Harry Potter.
OK- off soap box.
