I know that, just like anyone else, writers shouldn't feel they have to
censor their personal opinions, but it does, um, color their work for their
readers (or at least this one) to know they literally believe in magic.

I wasn't reading much fiction anyway, but had Enders Game on my "to-read"
list. Then I found out he was Mormon, and that it colored some of his newer
work.  I said, "Meh", and now it's on the back burner.

Kind of like when I find Scott Adams is retarded when it comes to biology.
And is outspoken with his ignorance...putting it on display for the entire
world.

Now I cannot even read a Dilbert cartoon w/o thinking of creationism. 

Yuck.
