The Golden Compass

“There are many universes and many Earths parallel to each other. Worlds like yours, where people’s souls live inside their bodies, and worlds like mine, where they walk beside us, as animal spirits we call daemons.”

… so it’s an anti-christ allegory? :smiley:

Haha! Not exactly … Without spoiling too much, it’s more that the book takes place in an alternate dimension where the Protestant Reformation never happened. The Magisterium, this dimension’s larger version of the Catholic church, uses its size and influence to impede scientific discovery of what’s really responsible for Original Sin and endorses some unethical experiments to do its own research. That and the author of the books it’s based on is an atheist and very public about that fact.

Ah, so it’s the story of America, except Catholic. Got it.

And of course, hilarity ensues …

Thats okay, it gives me a chance to hear the DVD menu music some more :slight_smile:

I’m ready whenever you guys are.

Okay, it’s 8:15 by my clock, lets hit it!

Go, go, go!!

For a minute I read that as “body clock” and I thought “Whoa! She’s good!” :smiley:

Some people’s biological clocks have better resolution than others.

Holy shit, it’s JAMES BOND!!!

Nah, mine’s just like “kids now, kthx” :slight_smile:

Mine, too. Then my brain starts screaming…
