Pullman thinks Archbishop has been seeing things
Posted on June 1, 2009 by Kinders

Philip Pullman has responded to the Archbishop of Canterbury’s recent comments about the His Dark Materials trilogy, saying he must have “very good eyesight” to see traces of God in his work. “I am an atheist because I do not believe there is a God – but I am also a religious person, because I am interested in the questions religions deal with, such as why are we here, where do we come from, and what is good and what is evil. But that does not mean that we have to believe in God.”

    I think the archbishop’s got better eyesight than PP’s ready to admit.

    Yeah. Pullman’s on the right track with what he’s trying to express in his novels. The values of goodness and living life as it was meant to be lived. But what he doesn’t understand is that’s what God is all about.
