I don't care what someoen's race or religion is when it comes to the writing of the characters/comics, I care about the stories they are involved in. I just don't find the writing of Simon (or Jessica) to be all that great.

I've only read the New 52 stuff, Blackest Night/Brightest Day, and the original Green Lantern: Rebirth, but Johns writing of Hal seems more concerned with making Hal look awesome rather than having Hal actually be awesome.

I disagree as Johns has given us the best Green Lantern material since the 70s, if not ever. He gave Hal a personality and made him to be the lantern my dad and people his age made him out to be when Kyle took over (who was my first GL).

Like I just said, I just don't find them well written enough to really care about them. Take in Justicle League right now. Their first mission and their rings fail on them.
