ok SO. addendum i actually am finding this author more and more interesting. so he is an atheist and did make this trilogy specifically to criticize the (catholic???) church and organized religion in general, is what i have gathered from vaguely skimming articles? and wrote this to retaliate against narnia which, makes sense, but i am. intrigued. because to a degree he is very against the authoritarianism and other aspects of the church/magistarium but they also have the alethiometer which tells the truth, often in cryptic ways, and which they have faith in.... and also one thing HOLD ON. let me send another ask for that one but i will say it is VERY COOL and I LIKE IT

OH YEAH I REMEMBER READING ABT IT BEING A DIRECT THING AGAINST NARNIA AKSJSKA

#it is So interesting #omg maybe me reading that in fifth grade is why i hated organized religion until actually realizing its benefits #i think. i think it’s like against forced spirituality #because… spirituality and religion is so sogood until it makes people be/act certain ways #i think what the books are saying is that a human cannot be inherently bad because of A Thing #but also that perhaps there can be too much research? and we should leave some things to imagination and wonder?#WHICH IS SO WHERE IM AT RN SO SEEING THE THIRD SEASON I AM LIKE!! YES!! BUT NO!!#and also biblically accurate angels are so fun #ask #soryasongsaa #pen and ink
