Parents Beware!
Come December, there’ll be a new movie out starring Nicole Kidman called THE GOLDEN COMPASS, based on a book by Phillip Pullman. He's an acknowledged atheist, who admits he hates C.S. Lewis and wrote a trilogy in which God dies to counteract the Chronicles of Narnia .
The movie appears to be innocuous enough to fool parents and appeal to kids. The hope is that there will be a demand for the books which get worse and worse (THE SUBTLE KNIFE and THE AMBER SPYGLASS are parts two and three). In the end, the children heroes kill God and everyone is free to do whatever they want. You can plan seeing on lots of advertising for “This great show for kids for the holidays”, but you can bet you won’t hear any details about the books though. Pullman is very open about his intentions, when he said in a 2003 interview with the Sidney Morning Herald that “My books are about killing God.” Conservative British columnist Peter Hichens labeled Pullman “The Most Dangerous Author in Britain” and described him as the “writer that atheists would have prayed to, if they prayed.”

I Googled reviews of Pullman's books, like you suggested in my Guestbook. But that didn't answer my initial question: have you read the books? Or is your blog based on other people's reviews?

Hello Imagine,
I believe that when learns about Jesus, who is the Truth, the Way, and the Life, one does learn to think for himself or herself. We learn what objective truth is like.
Unless you re-invented an automobile, a telephone, and a computer, among many other items, then you too are guilty of not thinking for yourself in some areas. Don't you rely on the ideas of Edison, Pasteur, and Gallileo, to name a few? If we rely on the eternal wisom of Jesus Christ, true God and true man, then leave us alone.
If you are your own source of knowledge, you're a very limited person. posted by

Yeah
and the last thing we would want is anyone especially our kids to learn to question and think for them selves. Oh the horror of that. you can't kill something that never existed. even a supernatural being.... So saying anyone is killing a god is saying the impossible. You can cause people to question and reject but not kill a supernatural being because they are imaginary. It is like someone saying they will kill the Tooth Fairy or Santa Clause. makes no sense... AKA nonsense.. Just rouses the myth believers thats all.. Worthless ideas waisting time.... Well they got to do Something when they aren't praying. Defending the myth gives them something to add to their prayer lists of telling god who He should kill... not me of course. I 'm going to heaven... because Jesus said I would. Its all those other guys who won't ! posted by

Have you read the books? I just wanted to be sure your opinion was well founded on some sort of research before considering it. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up Shurelee. Have you heard about the movie Bella? It's a really GOOD movie with a pro-life, pure love story-line, and the life-story of the leading actor is almost better than the movie. The lead actor was a Mexican soccer/telenovela/singer superstar that gave up his career and MULA because he felt empty...... He at first wanted to join a monastery, but he was counseled to use his talents in the film industry to make Christian films to get out the message of the Good News.
Yeah! God was calling him big-time! Anyway, now he works for this film company (about 3 guys) Metanoia, and they won the Toronto film festival.
I think this movie will do much good! posted by

I had never heard of the movie, book or author.... but I'm going to do some research! And your right, castration, killing God isn't they type of subject matter I'd want my kids or grandchild to read! I guess Professor Dumbeldoor's alleged homosexuality in Harry Potter sounds pretty tame compared to this book, huh? I'll help with the boycott.... thought about boycotting Hastings and Borders? They'll be selling the books.....
