And remove all doubt...

There's an old adage about it being better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt, well here's another example of the modern 'feel good' and 'be popular' philosophy triumphing once again over common sense and truth.  I recently cited the makers of the 'Les Miserables' musical movie and their interesting views of that particular work.  Liam Neeson, the voice of Aslan in the Narnia movies, also made a few odd statements about C.S. Lewis's beloved works being applicable to 'all people and faiths,' are also to be wondered at.  But I suppose this phenomenon should not be surprising in the age where the teachers of literature tell us to read into every work whatever it is we want to find there rather than ruminating upon the truths the author is trying to reveal.  I challenge Mr. Phoenix to find an ancient work outside the biblical narrative that treats women with such respect and significance as do the canonical scriptures.  I challenge each and everyone of us to find the actual truth in any given work or production, rather than reading into it only what we want to see.
