The New York Times on Da Vinci Christianity. I think every student should be taught the historical side of Early Christianity -- perhaps then they would realize that the central tenets of Christianity weren't really defined until the First Council of Nicaea in 325. It'd almost be like creating the US Constitution today based on oral and written stories of the Founding Fathers -- imagine the biases and disagreements. (5) #

A disapproving look at the Christian elements in the new Narnia film, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I have to admit, the Christian imagery didn't make much of an impression on me when I read the entire series at around the age of 9. Philip Pullman of His Dark Materials fame on Narnia: "Narnia represents everything that is most hateful about religion." Secularism v. religion, as played out by children's novels. Fun.
