I'm offended that you think I would know what a compound in attributive use is...

That blog demonstrates a recurring trend of people who lack the ability to discern fiction from reality.

But hell, at least FPW's books haven't gotten into the hands of people like Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, or Neal Boortz. They'd have made this guy seem like an Atheist in comparison.

Oh, and a list of things and peoples Dr. Wilson has yet to offend:

- Atheists

- Agnostics

- White People

- Zoarastrians

- Buddhists

- Shintoists

- Taoists

- Pagans

- Wiccans

- Goths

- Libertarians

You'd better get cracking, Dr. Wilson. Cool

I'm just going to say something stupid here about being offended.

Don't mind me. It's my first post.

I just CANNOT believe that it was posted on "I think, therefore I am"!!! :-)

Obviously, thinking is not a major part in his life. What part of "Fiction" doesn't he understand? I mean, he (or she) obviously has read the bible, he (or she) should be
fully briefed on "Fiction"!!! Hehehehe

Yeesh! Lighten up, people!

Some Christians view everything in the world through the distorting lenses of their faith and the Bible, and to them, anything that is not obsessed with them is wrong. The fact is, there is nothing "anti-Christian" in the RJ novels, any more than in The Lord of the Rings, the Dune cycle, or, for that matter, Narnia, which for all its allegorical content has no actual Christianity in its makeup. The mythos of the Adversary Cycle and the RJ books may not include Christianity, but that does not make it ipso-facto anti-Christian. The mindset that finds anything not specifically Christian to be anti-christian is the same mindset that used to ban any fiction at all because it wasn't "true". These folks would have no entertainment except Biblical entertainment and are likely the same kooks who would burn Tom Sawyer and The Catcher in the Rye.

But then, people with axes to grind will always find some grist to their hate mills. I don't see anything at all homophobic in the RJ books either, but then, just as there are those who see anti-christianity everywhere, there are those who see homophobia everywhere too. As for being anti-Semitic, well, that is laughable: maybe some people see Abe, as Jackie Mason would say, as "too Jewish", but I have known folks precisely like him. And as for being anti-Arab, well, there is a difference between having characters who with anti-Arab sentiments and being anti-Arab oneself.

It doesn't? Have you read them all? In The Voyage of the Dream Teader Aslan says that he has a name in our world, and in the last one, there is a direct reference to heaven and Jesus.
