Someone had posted that recently. Having ‘watched the movie’ at an early age, I still recall thinking, ‘no, that’s not how we’d operate.’ So Excellent, my gut was right.. Damn Hollywood.

The 'Lord Of the Flies' was quite deliberate theist propaganda, trying very hard to promote the theist idea that morality only comes from Abrahamic inspired authority. It was inserted into the schools reading list here in the UK quite deliberately, by pressure from the religious authorities who always enjoyed a massively exaggerated influence in our school system.
