Re:Anyone read ‘His dark Materials’? (Serious spoilers)

[quote=”LexxLurker”]Actually the Fall of Man is an interesting subject. And no I haven’t read these books, but they sound interesting 😉 [/quote]
They are interesting, well the religious side doesn’t really come over fully until the third book. Being of an atheistic bent myself, I saw them as an interesting concept. I’d never seen the fall portrayed as a good thing before. Everything was turned upside down and I’d be interested to see what a religious person would make of it and if it could be viewed objectively.

Thanks for the info on the Eden stories, I find all of that stuff quite fascinating, particularly the stories that often get left out.

I’m still of the opinion that putting a tree of life and a tree of knowledge in a garden and saying ‘Don’t scrump’ is a bit like putting a big red button on the wall with the sign saying ‘Don’t push the button’. You just know what’s going to happen. 🙄

But then that was covered in ‘Good Omens’ by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman, another book which I highly recommend. 😉
