Heres something thats been circulating in cyberspace: THE GOLDEN COMPASS MOVIE


There will be a new children's movie out in December called "The GoldenCompass". The movie has been described as "atheism for kids" and isbased on the first book of a trilogy entitled "His Dark Materials" thatwas written by Phillip Pullman. Pullman is a militant atheist andsecular humanist who despises C. S. Lewis and the "Chronicles ofNarnia". His motivation for writing this trilogy was specifically tocounteract Lewis'symbolisms of Christ that are portrayed in the Narnia series.Clearly, Pullman's main objective is to bash Christianity and promoteatheism. Pullman left little doubt about his intentions when he said ina2003 interview that "my books are about killing God." He has evenstated that he wants to "kill God in the minds of children". Don't letkids see "The Golden Compass".



While "The Golden Compass" movie itself may seem mild and innocent, thebooks are a much different story. In the trilogy, a young streetwisegirl becomes enmeshed in an epic struggle to ultimately defeat theoppressive forces of a senile God. Another character, an ex-nun,describes Christianity as "a very powerful and convincing mistake."In the final book, characters representing Adam and Eve eventually killGod, who at times is called YAHWEH. Each book in the trilogy getsprogressively worse regarding Pullman's hatred of Jesus Christ."The Golden Compass" is set to premier on December 7, during theChristmas season (and staring Nicole Kidman), and will probably beheavily advertised. Promoters hope that unsuspecting parents will taketheir children to see the movie, that they will enjoy the movie, andthat the children will want the books for Christmas.


Should we boycott the movie? that is for you to decide


Blessings,
