WildGravity, you do have to take note that a lot of Bradbury's works have been influenced in one way or another by his early religious Christian upbringing. Tho he has gotten away from lot of those early beliefs and instead installed mysticism and strange ideologies compared to what he was earlier presented with, a strong thread of influence from God' working runs thru his creative work. This only makes for difficulty in analyzing a man who has shut off a lot of overt expression of early religious truths, tho its strong indelible "ink" of sorts remains fastened.

The philosophy of Christ, the spirituality I have no qualms with. Its the aspect of organized religion (relijun) and control I have an issue with.

Well, there is certainly an abundance of disorganized religion, and a commensurate dearth of self-control!
