"and resume their normal lives, basing them around teaching other people to live their lives to the fullest and not bother with faith." As far as I can recall, the books end rather abruptly, and don't go into what Lyra and Will do with their lives after they go back to their Oxfords. Should this be removed, or am I missing something?

== Homosexuality ==
Re homosexuality: It might equally be argued that the relationship between the two male angels resembles that between Jonathan and David in the Bible:
:: I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. 2 Samuel 1:26 (KJV)
The idea that spiritual being need sex is absurd! Central themes of the trilogy are love, loyalty, courage, and caring for others, and the two angels share these human feelings. The only real sexual reference that I can remember is that of the church leaders lusting after the child Lyra. Pullman’s criticism of corrupt religious institutions.is justified given both past and recent history. --[[User:Jackin the box|Jackin the box]] ([[User talk:Jackin the box|talk]]) 20:12, May 9, 2022 (EDT)
