And with examples such as "King & King" Children's literature already norming homosexual marriage, you know the text books are not far behind.
Soon a text book that says "Family Life" will have a picture of a homosexual couple next to it.
I just started Ender's Game! I'm finally culturally hip!
You forgot to mention Card's "Alvin Maker" books, which I liked even better than his "hard SF." It's amazing the Christian insights you can get from reading an orthodox Mormon. I find as a Catholic (who finds Mormon theology untenable at best) I have worlds more in common with him than with a fellow "Catholic" like, say, Andrew Greeley.
Orson Scott Card has done more to strengthen my faith than almost any other writer I can name, including many Catholic ones. Thanks for pointing me to this column.
Card is, in some ways, the best sci-fi fantasy author out there. He deals with serious themes and develops real characters and his subcreations are always meticulously researched and developed.
"Ender's Game" and its sequels would make up for a lot of sins in my book. Now it seems they don't have to.
Mark: I couldn't put Ender's Game down when I first read it. I urge you to read the sequels as well - "Speaker for the Dead" and "Xenocide" at any rate - though i warn you that while they use the same key characters (Ender, Valentine) they are quite different novels. Which just speaks to his versatility.
