Eragon is certainly not a Mary Sue.
I think I enjoyed the character of Arya better than Eragon, however.
I SHALL NEVER BEG FOR MERCY!
His beliefs came out very strongly in his books, but he didn't force them.
I read them, and his religious beliefs haven't affected me in the slightest.


Look, Queezle.

Of course they won't affect you. ;) He and that gay elf are seen as enlightened, the rest of the flesh eating, god worshiping people are the ignorant masses.

Hell, I'm a Atheist and a Vegetarian and I dislike how Paolini puts it across.

You are, Post?

I agree. Some books/movies/shows promote my own beliefs, and they do it poorly.

Besides, my point is that he is using his children's book to promote these beliefs. The books are aimed at those whose brains have not quite reached the stage at which they can choose their own beliefs yet.

Although I will say, that it is my own belief that there is nothing wong with eating meat. We were designed to be omnivours, animals in nature eat one another, it is simply a part of life.

Will I state that Ibelieve this?

Yes.

Will I tell you why I believe this?

Yes.

Will I tell you that you are inferior for not believing what I believe and that only my way is right?

Of course not.
I say night I'm living in the forest of my dream,
I know the night is not as it would seem,
I must believe in something,
So I'll make myself believe it,
That this night will never go.

There's a butcher's shop nearby where live hens are routinely slaughtered. And there's the Id celebrations where cute little goats are murdered in the neighboorhood mosque. ;) I refuse to eat those cute little things.

What if they've been soaked with hormones and are more like cute little robots?

And Paolini does not try to sell his beleifs. He tries to make a culture for the elves. Does that mean you need to follow the culture?

Of course not!
Look, Queezle.

That applies to hens only. ;) , I doubt I'd like the spices anyway.


The elves come off as enlightened, The main character, the hero is converted to their beliefs, benovolent and wise.

Cause what about the dwarves who believe in gods? They're scoffed at.
