I just got this E-Mail today and thought it was interesting.
Please spread the word about this around. An aware public
can make a difference!
"The Golden Compass" movie is set to premier on December 7, during
the Christmas season, and will probably be heavily
advertised. This movie is based on a the first book of a
trilogy by atheist Philip Pullman. In the final book a boy
and girl kill God so they can do as they please. Pullman
left little doubt about his intentions when he said in a
2003 interview that "My books are about killing God."
The movie is a watered down version of the first book and is
designed to be very attractive in the hope unsuspecting
parents will take their children to see the movie and
that the children will want the books for Christmas.
The movie has a well known cast, including Nicole Kidman,
Kevin Bacon, and Sam Elliott. It will probably be advertised
extensively, so it is crucial that we get the word out to
warn parents to avoid this movie.
Please consider a boycott of 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.
You can research this for yourself.
I thought you might find the following article from snopes.com interesting: Urban Legends Reference Pages: The Golden Compass
(I read the snopes article and this is definitely worth
passing around. It's very disturbing & I think it is well worth
spreading.)
Not tired of reading about the movie? Here's MORE DETAILS---
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.
