Morgan pretty much proves my point about emotional ties. I read these comments and laugh. I read the 5 star reviews and didn't see anyone attacking the reviewer. LOL With all due respect, you guys are so predictable.
Meghan isn't insulting you or your personal friend Atticus. She simply told you why she didn't like the book and people took it emotionally instead of rationally. This is why an honest evaluation of the book is impossible.
The book as a literary work has one redeeming value, the character of Atticus Finch. Other than that, it is trite pulp with a predictable story and standard characters to be found in any books on the South in the era.
If people don't buy into Atticus Finch being the quintessential American white guy, they are not going to like the book. It is that simple. When the book is debated, it is debating the character Atticus. ]]>

Mickey, you say it is Satan's half. I say it is God's half. You eliminate the parts you don't like or don't want to follow.
And I quoted the Gospels and Old Testament as much as anything
I am not even trying to change your mind. You use the parts of the Bible you like and discount the rest. That is a fairly common thing to do. I'm just not going to do that. So you and I reached the end of our theological discussion. Neither is going to sway the other. ]]>
