I'm reading the last pages of this book... this grat book. I haven't finished, but al the same I read the finishing, I have that custom... since I was a child jajaja.
But it's not about what I think towards the book what I'me going to talk, but about it's content. The Controller is talking to bernard, watson and john, about this brave new world, the way it became to be that way, and explaining the hole story itself. But it's not about this speccialy what I want to talk about. The controller talks about God, "Ford" and conditioning. I think once the controller is talking, the author is talking to as trought this character. John doesn't understand why God is not named, and the controller says that anyway, people wouldn't understand the Bible. Is like, people is conditioned to think in some way.
The author is critizing religions. He wants to convince us, trought his story, that the world we live, doesn't allow us to think in a propper way. That catolisism makes us closed people, who can not think alone, but the whay the Curch wants.
The same way of thinking had, and still have, many totalitarian people, specially comunism. They are trouly convince that religion is something made up by people just to convince themself that there is something after life.
Well, I just wanted to talk a little bit about this, and I hope you can comment and write what you think.

I think I can get your point. Anyway, what we should try to do when reading literature is to see things from different perspectives. You can always resort to your ideals and beliefs in the end. But this speech is good to understand other people's positions and thus be ready and prepared to provide a thoughtful criticism based on solid grounds as regards their views on the world.
By the way, pls EDIT the text. Thx!!! You ARE a critical reader indeed!!!=)
