I'm reading the Ender's Game series right now; I'm on number 4: Children of the Mind.
has anyone read it, and what do you think of the religious undertones, or how religion is depicted in his books?
what's your take on the "aiua" he depicts, i.e. life as a non-material entity that exists in "outside" space?
do you think the universe he depicts leans towards a specific faith, or is it more of a universalist approach?
Orson Scott Card is a mormon?!

Yes, he is a practicing mormon and an advocate for the church. I've heard his books are good, but, haven't had the chance to read any of them. Here is an interesting article he wrote:

1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
