A Comment ...

Hi all - I realize that some of you don't have kids at an age that would want to see this movie, but I figure that you surely know people that might want to know about this!
I saw the author interviewed on the Today show a few days ago, and saw his "attitude" for myself.
It is my hope that NO ONE will make this movie a hit!
But, at the very least, maybe we can all make an informed decision about what we let our kids watch.

Read this before you let your children see the movie.........
You may already know about this, but I just learned about a kids movie coming out in December starring Nicole Kidman.
It's called The Golden Compass, and while it will be a watered down version, it is based on a series of children's books about killing God (It is the anti-Narnia).
Please follow this link, Read it, and then pass it on.
From what I understand, the hope is to get alot of kids to see the movie - which won't seem too bad - and then get the parents to buy the books for their kids for Christmas.
The quotes from the author sum it all up. I'm going to tell everyone about this movie.

Regarding The Golden Compass

THIS IS A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM
DR. BRYAN CUTSHALL

Yesterday, I was handed a children's book by a staff member who said, "I think you need to see this."

The book is published by Scholastic and is part of a collection of books. The book I was given is called The Golden Compass. This children's book is one of the most alarming things I have ever read. What makes it worse is that a movie based on the book premieres in December. Both the book and the movie introduce atheism to children. The story ends with Adam and Eve killing God.

THIS IS A MOVIE THAT WE MUST PROTEST AND OPPOSE AS CHRISTIANS. Please educate yourself on this by checking out the links I have provided below and help me spread the word. Do not remain silent on this issue. This is a time for the family of GOD to stand together.

Focus on the Family has several notices written about it. You can click on this link to see one of them: http://www.citizenlink.org/content/A000005672.cfm

You can also read more about it below.

I checked this out at snopes.com; unfortunately, it's true... 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" 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 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, "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 Christianity 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 December 7, during the Christmas season 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 boycott the movie and the books. Also, pass this information along to everyone you know. This will help to educate parents, so that they will know the agenda of the movie.

The Golden Compass

A movie to avoid

We need to get the word out about this movie -
it is coming out in December - an atheist produced it,
it is marketed for children and in the end they kill God.
Send this to everyone you know.

~AWP~ S-Daddy wrote:I heard this to. While I am a relgious person myself, I will say that sheltering children from thoughts that you dont necessarrily agree with can sometimes be detrimental to their own spiritual growth. And some point, children need to make their own decsions. It is up to the parent to decide when that is. When I was younger, after watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail, I rented Monty Python's Life of Brian. This movie is a complete satire of the life of Christ. When I rented my mother explained how SHE felt about and then encouraged me to make my own decisions. Anyways, at 27, I by no means am telling any parent how to handle this, just some personal insite.

Back the the movie itself here is a wiki article about the book it is based on, along with an excerpt:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_L ... 28novel%29
"Controversies
Pullman and his trilogy have been criticized by the Catholic League (not to be confused with the Catholic Church).[3] However, Pullman has found support from other Christians, most notably Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury. These groups and individuals point out that Pullman's negative portrayal of the "Church" in His Dark Materials amounts to an attack on dogmatism and the use of religion to oppress, not on Christianity itself. Dr. Williams has gone so far as to propose that His Dark Materials be taught as part of religious education in schools.

Other Christian writers, such as Kurt Bruner and Jim Ware, while finding his anti-Christian position troubling, "also uncover spiritual themes within the books, which, like shafts of light, break through an otherwise gloomy universe—despite Pullman’s best efforts to keep them out. In the end, the authors argue that Pullman offers an unwitting tribute to the God he intended to discredit."[4] in their book Shedding Light on His Dark Materials."

LOL Very Good indeed!
There is Hope!
Very Good! LOL - there is a God!
Since I have been following this - things about the movie and the book have been "miraculously" changing for the better!
God works in strange ways for sure - but nice!
