THE GOLDEN COMPASS
There will be a new children's movie out this month in Australia 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 CS 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 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 premiere on December 7, during the Christmas season, (and starring 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 they 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.  For anyone with kids, grandkids, other relatives or friends, who may have this concern I have checked it out at http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/compass.asp
