Golden Compass! Is it worth watching?
**************************************************
just seen the movie’s trailer and it’s indeed very captivating mass appeal
especially since it’s a big Hollywood production - “so then let us not
sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober 1Thes.5:6″There will be a new children’s movie out in December called ‘The Golden
Compass’. The movie has been described as ‘atheism for kids’ and is based
on the first book of a trilogy entitled ‘His Dark Materials’ that was
written by Phillip Pullman. Pullman is a militant atheist and secular
humanist who despises C. S. Lewis and the ‘Chronicles of Narnia’. His
motivation for writing this trilogy was specifically to counteract Lewis’
symbolisms of Christ that are portrayed in the Narnia series.Clearly, Pullman’s main objective is to bash Christianity and promote
atheism. Pullman left little doubt about his intentions when he said in a
2003 interview that ‘my books are about killing God.’ He has even stated
that he wants to ‘kill God in the minds of children’. It has been said of
Pullman that he is ‘the writer the atheists would be praying for, if
atheists prayed.’While ‘The Golden Compass’ movie itself may seem mild and innocent, the
books are a much different story. In the trilogy, a young streetwise girl
becomes enmeshed in an epic struggle to ultimately defeat the oppressive
forces of a senile God. Another character, an ex-nun, describes
Christiaity as ‘a very powerful and convincing mistake.’ In the final
book, characters representing Adam and Eve eventually kill God, who at
times is called YAHWEH. Each book in the trilogy gets progressively worse
regarding Pullman’s hatred of Jesus Christ.‘The Golden Compass’ is set to premier on December 7, during the Christmas
season (and staring Nicole Kidman), and will probably be heavily
advertised.Promoters hope that unsuspecting parents will take their children to see
the movie, that they will enjoy the movie, and that the children will want
the books for Christmas.Please consider a boycott of the movie and the books. Also, pass this
information along to everyone you know (including church leaders). This
will help to educate parents, so that they will know the agenda of the
movie. I am sending this to those of you who have kids or friends with
kids, grandkids or have influence with kids. So many things today are
darkness concealed in what appears to be innocent.Don’t let kids see ‘The Golden Compass’
For anyone with kids, grandkids other relatives or friends who this may
concern, I have checked it out at
