LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY gairid)
Per catvincent's suggestion, I am starting this thread so we might exchange ideas on reading material that helps to illustrate the hows and whys of why separation of church and state and the idea of democratic freedoms can so easily be subverted and taken away.
These are just suggestions , of course, but they tie into what we talk about here in thie community and they could be helpful when trying to illustrate points to people who are not convinced of the threat the dominionist faction presents.
Here's the list so far from the earlier thread.
The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
The Historical Illuminatus Chronicles - R.A. Wilson
The Fifth Sacred Thing by Starhawk & sequels
His Dark Materials ' trilogy - Phillip Pullman
1984 - George Orwell
Animal Farm - George Orwell
Comic Books
Sandman - bNeil Gaiman
V For Vendetta - Alan Moore
Promethea - Alan Moore
The Invisibles - Grant Morrison
Transmetropolitan - Warren Ellis
More suggestions?
